Would anyone like to see these collected into an ebook?

What's Green? A Color Test
When you look at the graphic below which color do you think of? Blue or Green? I was looking at how a green blue slip fired at the #bisque stage and started thinking about green and the problem of deciding when a character translates a blue or green.
Let's take the best known character / word / adjective as the first example since this seems to be one that any #Asian language #SinoJapanese #SinoKorean #sinoVietnamese or #Sinitic dialect that uses #hanzi derived characters or has loan words from Chinese (also known as #kanji or #hanja) uses
and just to complicate things one site said Blue in Korean is paran and Green chorasaek but only gave the Hangul and the one Korean speaker I know said
green is chorak ? Thank You "K.." for letting me run a quick response test!
If you choose to comment please mention if you were viewing on a mobile or larger screen in case that makes a difference to color perception especially given my use of a two color gradient fill as part of the test?
