I mean, it really just tests arbitrary word usage. I have no fucking clue if turquoise is supposed to be "green" or "blue", it's turquoise!

A bit like "is this hotdog overpriced" amd trying to binary search the exact cent where it became overpriced.
That’s easy, any hot dog that is more than $1.50 USD is overpriced.
But you get the price in another currency, and don’t know the exact exchange rate (in place of monitor calibration).
Parent was a joke about the Costco fixed price hotdog.
UK Costco hotdogs are £1.50, which is not equal to $1.50, reflecting both its arbitrary nature and that UK purchasing power is weaker than the exchange rate would appear. (Computer books are a frequent offender here of having the same $ and £ prices)
Nah turquoise is green.

Within the ISCC–NBS System of Color Designation Turqoise (#40E0D0) is classified as a brilliant bluish green. Turquoise blue (#00FFEF) is close to turquoise on the color wheel, but slightly more blue.
More metrics, including sRGB, can be found on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turquoise_(color)

Apparently I thought so as well. Then again, my display is in night mode...
Oh shit. Turned off night mode and switched sides!
That might be a language issue. In Danish it's common to use "turkis blå", i.e. turquoise blue. Then again, you can also use "turkis grøn", turquoise green.
But with green/blue there is certain opinion that I have at least.
the real question is whether orange is red or yellow

Turquoise is dark cyan, no? So equal parts green and blue.
