It does bother me. What the hell are they thinking. The colour code clearly says "c"!

You forgot a "You mean its not teal?" option in your poll. Anyway a lot of people don't use the colour codes so that would account for some of the differences I guess.

I think I usually refer to the color as cyan, but I also think I've referred to it as light blue...

Totally. And when people refer to silver or slate as "gray," I just completely lose my shit and start kicking puppies.

I've seen it call indigo as well.
And I do call them cyan and gray most of the time.

True story here. I intentionally use "gray" and "teal" just to see the spectacle.Master Fenrir wrote:Totally. And when people refer to silver or slate as "gray," I just completely lose my shit and start kicking puppies.
But... It was so artistically done.

Pretty sure I refer to it as gray, even though color codes are for silver/slate. Please don't kick any more puppies.Master Fenrir wrote:Totally. And when people refer to silver or slate as "gray," I just completely lose my shit and start kicking puppies.

i call "cyan" teal and "silver" gray, deal with it...after all i'm not some sort of home decorator. i'm a man so i call colors by the most simplistic name it has so everyone knows what im talking about.... the only time i use the color code givin names is when i'm speaking with my color blind friend. at least i don't call pink purple.

Re: Does it bother you when fellow players refer to cyan as
I don't like when people refer to players by color at all. No, that is not a racial thing. The problem is that I will be more likely to read a message that invokes "thegreekdog" than a message that invokes "cyan" or "teal." I try to avoid referring to players by color (and I don't always succeed). In any event, when you have 20 or 50 or 100 games going at once, it can get confusing and time consuming to figure out what player people are referring to.

Pink gets called purple a lot. I don't know why. My old military school used to have green and pink as its colors back in the dark ages.
And yes, I called silver grey the other day. Please, MF, no more beatings!

Teal is also a color.jefjef wrote:Cyan is a colr - Teal is a freaking bird you hunt, kill, gut and eat! LEARN IT - LIVE IT!tkr4lf wrote:I refer to it as teal. It looks teal to me. f*ck you.
Also, I don't hunt. I'm a lesbian hippy living in a commune. Hunting is strictly forbidden. Murderer.

Can you elaborate on how calling cyan teal is more simplistic.canadian bacon wrote:i call "cyan" teal and "silver" gray, deal with it...after all i'm not some sort of home decorator. i'm a man so i call colors by the most simplistic name it has so everyone knows what im talking about.... the only time i use the color code givin names is when i'm speaking with my color blind friend. at least i don't call pink purple.

Murderer? You mean well fed non vegetarian. Vegetables is food for tasty food and if we were meant to graze our eyes would be on the side of our heads.
So CYAN it is!

1) cyan takes a little more effort to say (meh, im lazy wannafightabowdit?)nagerous wrote:Can you elaborate on how calling cyan teal is more simplistic.canadian bacon wrote:i call "cyan" teal and "silver" gray, deal with it...after all i'm not some sort of home decorator. i'm a man so i call colors by the most simplistic name it has so everyone knows what im talking about.... the only time i use the color code givin names is when i'm speaking with my color blind friend. at least i don't call pink purple.
2) not everyone knows what cyan is, as it's primarily used in the photo industry....seriously i talked to one person who thought it was like ceran wrap.
3) EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER KNOWS WHAT TEAL IS
4) light blue takes longer to say
