Provoking traffic offences, common outside sweden?

Well this throw a kink into the "move over for this color, stop for this one" idea.
 
I fail to see how the type of monitor one has would have anything to do with the color of, well, colors.

Red is red no matter what type of screen you use.

Nothing in that "diagram" is red.

Transreflective screens have issue with colors. They are distorted. Blue becomes green. Green becomes gray-ish, red is more like orange.

One of my (converted) diagnostic tablets has a 12.1 inch transreflective screen. They came standard on some Toughbook CF-28's.

Monitors can be defective, you know. I've seen defective CRTs where some colors don't stand out properly and it's hard to distinguish browns from greens, etc.

Anyway, I think the consensus is that colorblindness is more likely, so you can ease off the skepticism.
 
The problem is in the file. I saved it to my computer and opened it in photoshop just to toy around with the colours and to see what would changing hue do to it, and as it turns out, it was already as I opened it different than it looks here in the post.

This is one funky file. I resaved it as a normal jpg and uploaded it show how it looks like on my end, and as it turns out it looks now like a third variant:

It doesn't even wanna show up now with the tags. :shrug:

You silly people jumping to conclusions. :p

Edit: Also, I must point out that sliding the hue managed to get the colors as [B]ed[/B] described them. The file's hue is off, damaged, whatever, I guess.

Dude I don't mean to be harsh, but are you colorblind by any chance? Because your colors seem way off to me.

Oh crap... it was a white background when I made the diagram... weird.

And not colorblind, my color vision is very good, above average actually.

I'll fix it in a few.

Ok, fixed... don't what happened. On the preview in photobucket it looks ok, but then if I view the image by itself it's buggered. It had to be when I uploaded it, the image looks fine in Corel and Photoshop and on a jpeg viewer, just off from photobucket.

Back in the day, I had a computer monitor that tinted everything blue. It might be the reason I am so fond of the Big Blue theme for TrekBBS.

And the consensus was wrong. Good thing this wasn't a vote.
 
In all seriousness, ed, are you colorblind? Nothing in that picture is the color you say it is, except the fountain.

ETA: Ninja'd by Kestra!

Could be, but why is there a yellow car?

:lol: I just realized I neither see a blue fountain nor a yellow car in the original post, but a yellow fountain and a green and a blue car (didn't really bother to check which colors you people were talking about, I just registered they're off). If this were deliberate, it could be a really good prank (I'm not saying it was). :lol:

Yes, it turns out the real issue was a PEBCAK!
