It's really hard to guage when screen makes so much difference. I was surprised. I thought I was looking at same colour. But when the browser background was dark vs light.. The differences were huge!
Colour science/theory fascinates me

Get back in line, I was first..

This is just a test of who has a decent monitor.
But turquoise isn't blue or green, it's cyan, just like orange isn't red or yellow.

I totally agree. For me turquoise isn't either blue or green. It's different enough from both to be a separate colour.
I know terms for colours are arbitrary. But there's no way someone can think turquoise isn't it's own name imo.
Even teal is again it's own colour name (to me)
I'm quite sensitive to the shift between blue and green. It's also my favourite colour space.

I'm not sure how subjective this type of stuff can be really, but most of the colors that were presented to me were turqouise and wouldn't neither call it green or blue.

consistent 171 on my phone.
between 164 and 169 on my monitor depending on the colour profile and whether HDR is on

It said that I'm greener than 80% of the population.
I collect stage lights and they run on a protocol called DMX. DMX understands the colours in the same way that a computer monitor does, using RGB with 256 (0-255) possible values per colour.
I always knew cyan as being 0 255 255.
Turquoise is 0 255 128 which is greener than blue.
Light blue is 0 128 255.
Blue is 0 0 255.
Teal is dark turquoise, so half of the 0 255 128 values, making it 0 128 64.

Girls are better at seeing more colours by having an extra cone. They can see greens and blues better than men.
I definitely think I'm part woman. I'm sure I can see blues and greens better than other men. Some people have even said there isn't anything between blue and green! But that's surely insane! Or maybe mega Chads?

Your boundary is at hue 177, bluer than 78% of the population. For you, turquoise is green.
Which seems to be pretty close to everyone else in the thread, suggesting their median is a bit wonky.
E:
Actually, rereading the thread there is more of a spread than I thought
