The Embalse de Riano in northern Spain. The picture was taken by .... me!

Sunday, August 16

Big family row today

Is the plastic cup yellow or green? We each think the other party is colour blind. The truth is that it is midway on the spectrum between green and yellow, and it depends how you demarcate the colours on the spectrum.

Personally, it would never have crossed my mind to call such a blatantly yellow cup green, admittedly a rather dingy yellow, but yellow none the less. However, if you put it alongside a yellowish golden delicious apple, which despite being yellowish is undoubtedly greeen, it matches the cup perfectly.

So obviously it is green no yellow no green no yellow no green no yellow no green no yellow.... you get the picture
