If you must choose, then out of Yellow, Magenta and Cyan…
- Which one looks the most like an in between of two primary1 colors?
- Which one looks the least like an in between of two primary1 colors?
- Which one looks the most like one of the primary colors?
- Which one looks the most white?
- Which one looks the most black?
I’m asking, because I want to know if people see colors the same way as I do.
If my “red” is your “green” I expect different answers.
1 Primary colors are Red, Green and Blue.
- none
- yellow
- tie between magenta and cyan
- cyan
- none

MagentaLooks like all the answers are a bit like this, apart from the colorblind ones.
I guess this solves the question whether everyone sees the same red, green and blue as I do.
And, what’s the answer?
I think most of us are seeing it similarly. We certainly do.
Your answers are the same as mine.I don’t see anyone answering
- Yellow
- Cyan
- Magenta
- Magenta
- Yellow
So I’m guessing that everyone sees the same kind of green and blue,
with green being the brightest of the three and blue the darkest.
I guess for 1 its yellow as it feels the most like its own color. I feel like magenta feels like a shade of red and cyan as a shade of blue. I guess I feel 2 and 3 should be the same answer as I chose the most unique inbetween as the most like an inbetween but it is real close. I guess I will choose cyan as the magenta is closer to purple which I kinda feel is its own color but I don’t feel strongly about it. I guess I would say (4) is yellow as it seems the lightest and (5) would be blue as it seems the darkest.

- Magenta, by a hair over cyan
In my mind, I’m lumping in cyan as a shade of blue and magenta as a shade between purple and red. Yellow for 4 since I could imagine magenta and cyan text being legible whiteboard marker colors, but not yellow.
Edit: ran through again on an OLED display after a crappy TN panel on the first run. Same answers but with a larger margin for 5.
Yellow as the most in-between color?
Yes, I wouldn’t lump yellow in with either red or green
Could you imagine someone else lumping it with either of the two colors?
And if so, which color would you consider more likely that person lumping it in with?I could, probably with green more than red
Great!
Than we probably see the same green as green.
Yellow looks a lot more than green to me than red.
I don’t, but I have cone-rod dystrophy.
I am colorblind, so no.

Red and blue are tied in this image but in darker shades the answer is always red.
Yellow, Magenta and Cyan are not really “in between” 2 primary colors. More like a sum of 2 primary colors.
We can explore this with the RGB color space model.
R G B 1 0 0 - red 0 1 0 - green 0 0 1 - blue 1 1 0 - yellow 0 1 1 - cyan 1 0 1 - magenta 1 1 1 - white 0 0 0 - blackSo you can see for instance that yellow is actually 2x as “bright” as red. In this model, white is 3x as bright as red.
Not the answer you are looking for, just here to add that CMY are also primary colors. Is just a different palette, that is more suitable for print (with the addition of black [K]) than for painting . Both palettes (cmy and the taditional red,blue,yellow) work the same way (substractive color), in contrast to the rgb palette that is on your example (additive color).
Note that green is a secondary color in the traditional and cmy palettes , resulting from the mix of blue and yellow or cyan and yellow.

Red, blue, yellow

No I’m colorblind.
1, 2, 4, 5: None
3: Yellow, if by the primaries you refer to Yellow Red Blue.
Also in your image I don’t see cyan pictured. You have yellow, magenta, and blue. My answers are for true Y, M,C hues.
I agree, but I think it also depends on the kind of monitor you have. For the blue, it’s almost cyan, but a little too dark.
I’m hoping to find people that might say this of yellow or magenta.
