Blue Phase?

[Kurt]

I see blue.

I see blue tinges, but I would still call that frog green.

[scribbles]

They aren't very blue, but compared to the standard green White's they look different. Here's a pic of my blue phase with my normal green one.

Turquoise Kurt? I think that frog could pass as turquoise!

^ That one is definately blue. Are they harder to find then green/brown White's?

How about teal?

How about teal?

Red: 88
Green: 83
Blue: 87

Therefor it is purple! XD But I call it blue anyway because the blue still outweighs the green.
Besides in some spots its...

Red: 100
Green: 110
Blue: 119

Which means blue out weighs the red AND the green in those spots. I think....

[1beataway]

Aren't those colours gray?

I have no problem calling them blue. But Kurt does. So, there's gotta be some shade he agrees with. Kerry started it, but I want to continue.


How about cerulean?

They can be harder to find. I found mine at PetSmart.

Sorta gray yeah. The picture used was kinda dark though. Here's my own frog for a comparison:

Red: 205
Green:224
Blue:108

^ As you can see mine has about double the red and green by comparison to the blueish one.

I really think the lighting affects it though. The green one in the picture with the blue ones is...

Red:125
Green:131
Blue:59

Yeah. MUCH less blue by both of them. Therefor it is blue. <_< >_> In my world. Where having less blue pigment by comparison to your other pigments makes you not blue and having more then the others makes you definately blue. Though, I have not taken any advanced art classes so, I'm probably way off from whats officially correct.

They aren't very blue, but compared to the standard green White's they look different. Here's a pic of my blue phase with my normal green one.

They are still both green. The one on the left has more yellow in it and the one on the right more blue, but they are still both green.

Explain your amazing deductive logic.

Here's my comparison shot and I agree with kurt.... still green. You can;t go by digitized RGB values by picking a single pixel as a sample. The lighting and camera would give you different values. Besides, "green" is probably more subjective anyway... as any combination of blue and green could be either blue or green depending on one's own perception. We had a previous discussion about a red White's tree frog.


When I look at my white's I see a warmer yellow-green (Jade) and a cooler blue-green (Dumper). If Dumper was next to something I would consider blue, he would look very green. Ok, maybe he is teal?

[1beataway]

But the picture of my blue wasn't next to a regular White's!

I do think the colour is closer to teal though.

Here's another comparison.. skin on skin.

[Kurt]

Using Chris' photo as an example. Both of my White's look Dumper, but I still call them green not blue. Blue phase to me just doesn't exist. Sure some have a bluish tinge to them, but they still are not blue, they're green. And the differences between Jade and Dumper doesn't suggest to me any kind of phase or morph, as they really aren't that drastically different. Does this make sense?

I do understand what you're saying, but I disagree. I see a difference. One of my blues doesn't look much like a blue, but I still see a difference sometimes. I usually don't see much of a difference between the colorations of bearded dragons, but they exist.

I did go to art school (college) and I am scale modeler (national champion status). I know green when I see it and can tell the differences between different shades. I know how to mix paint to replicate those hues.
In the frogs previously posted, one green has more yellow, the other more blue. It still doesn't make one yellow and the other blue.

So colors of paint? Or... blue-green then?

[1beataway]

There is most definitely a difference between the blue phase and the regular White's. So...what would one call it if not blue?
