When blue is purple
« on: 14 April 2005, 18:36 »
Ok guys, you gotta help me out with a little dispute here. :angry:

As you all know, my Golf is Majectic Blue.
I think it looks more blue with a purple tinge, the other half insists that its the complete opposite and keeps telling me its Purple.
Admitedly I know that on close inspection that the car is infact Purple with a Blue metalic fleck, however to me the car looks more blue and has a purple flip in the sunlight.
Is this not the reason why the car is called Majestic 'Blue'? :undecided:

Your opinions please...

looks dark blue :P



btw.. colour blindness affects roughly 3/10 men, and doesnt affect women ;)


i see purple as blue unless its very "pinky".. the most common form of c.b. is a lack in red receptors..
hence not picking up the red bits in some shades of purple.. and some browns can look green... etc..
