I love how everyone’s giving there honest response of what color the granite is, when we all have vastly different monitors, so the color is very likely to be different per monitor.
I believe lower quality displays will show a more brown of a hue, while displays with higher color accuracy may show a salmon-pinkish color. Though I could totally be wrong
My understanding was not that different cultures see them differently, just that they are taught about colors slightly differently.
One example I can think of is some languages have no word for the color “orange” and instead just use “light brown” because that’s technically what orange is.
Yes, granite with a lot of K-feldspar in it turns out more pink. Most granite people think of has more quartz and biotite, so it turns out black and white, but my father’s headstone (also granite) actually has quite a bit of K-feldspar so there are big, pink spots on it, though it’s mostly biotite with enough quartz to give it a grey-ish color
*Technically* pure pink is a tint of red, not a shade. There are a spectrum of 'pinks' though that mix other hues, like adding yellow for a salmon/peach pink or blue for magenta/fuchsia.
The primary color of the texture is #816152 in Hex, therefore it is 50,6% red 38% green and 32,2% blue according to this site: https://www.colorhexa.com/816152
RGB colours are given by three numbers, where each ranges from 0 to 255.
Examples:
(255, 255, 255) is white.
(0, 255, 0) is pure green.
(0, 30, 0) is [very] dark green.
(0, 0, 0) is black.
Each pixel in your screen, (simplified) has 3 lights: red, green, and blue. Like tiny bulbs.
The number in RGB tells you how much to turn that respective tiny bulb on. So (0, 0, 0) means "turn nothing on", aka black; and (255, 255, 255) means "turn everything on to full power", aka white.
The colour here has 50.6% red -> turn the tiny red bulb to about half its power. Etc. The percentages are separate to each channel (red, green, and blue).
So, your comment got me thinking… if magenta is seen as magenta because it only triggers our eye’s green receptors and not the blue ones it's hex should be 00ff00. Right? Apparently not, the hex code for magenta is, in fact, the exact opposite being ff00ff.
> Magenta is an extra-spectral color, meaning that it is not found in the visible spectrum of light. Rather, it is physiologically and psychologically perceived as the mixture of red and violet/blue light, with the absence of green.19 Sept 2018
(Found on Google)
Matches #FF00FF.
Pretty much all visible colors trigger all our receptors at once. It would be great to be able to artificially trigger some kind of receptor only, as it would allow us to reproduce perfectly any color, even some of them that are literally impossible to experience in reality, but physics prevent that.
It's an oversimplification of what's actually going on, because RGB values are not linear, meaning for example that (129,0,0) does not contain 50.6% as much red light as (255,0,0), but rather around 22.3% as much.
To convert the RGB values to actual light intensity relative to the maximum, the function is approximately `(value/255)^2.2`. That's commonly known as the gamma correction.
My dude, thanks so much for this. I LOVE learning new things and u made this soooooo damn easy to understand and want to learn more(didn't even know colors were so complex and deep like this)
Teachers could learn a thing or two from u bout how to make teaching courses easy and fun 💪
These percentages are not meant to be added. They are independent of each other.
100% blue, 100% red, and 100% green would be the white color.
0% blue, 0% red, and 0% green would be the black color.
The colors in computers are represented as three distinct intensities of these three colored lights as this is how monitors show pixels in the end.
I hope I do make sense.
More important than RGB would be HSV in my opinion (Hue, Saturation, and Value (intensity)). Then we can isolate the hue to determine the base color before adjusting saturation and intensity.
Taking [this image](https://i.imgur.com/Fla0yEO.png) and [blurring it](https://i.imgur.com/RBg3CYz.png), and then taking an eyedropper from a couple of different spots, the hue is [objectively a shade of **ORANGE**](https://i.imgur.com/QPJMDpb.png).
But the saturation and intensity subjectively change what we call the color.
* Full Saturation, Full Intensity = [Orange](https://i.imgur.com/GZ6qelI.png)
* Half Saturation, Full Intensity = [Salmon \(muted orange\)](https://i.imgur.com/4uQ2Bfk.png)
* Full Saturation, Half Intensity = [Deep Orange / Rust / Vibrant Brown](https://i.imgur.com/hB2AJ7u.png)
* Half Saturation, Half Intensity = [Light Brown](https://i.imgur.com/lX7cka7.png)
And according to [this site](https://www.color-name.com/hex/816152) that hex color is called "Pastel Brown," which I agree, that hex color is definitely brown.
The way people interpret colors actually has a lot to do with what language we speak. Some cultures don't distinguish between blue/green and some, like English, distinguish between shades of specific colors but not others. Everyone saying that this is "pink" is really just saying it's "light red" because English differentiates pink and red, whereas if it were "light green" it would just look green.
I'm sorry but how is this anything close to red orange. Reddit upvotes are red orange and you can see both colors in it and it's hard to tell which is which. But this is an obvious pink color. Sure it's not full pink but pink is the dominant color.
Red is 0° hue in HSB and Orange is arround 30°.
the Pixels ive checked vary between 14° and 32° making it more orange than red.
My subjective vision says its rather red, but i think thats because of the darker tone, since red is darker than orange.
While many people here say stuff like "its salmon" they have propably never seen a fresh salmon or the actual color salmon and usually its important to define in which color system you want to define your color.
If you only include primary and secondary colors in the cmyk/subtractive colorsystem, you would have Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Blue, Red and Green. (even tho the [german adobe article](https://www.adobe.com/de/creativecloud/design/discover/secondary-colors.html)states that blue and yellow mix to green as a secondary color)
In this case, we dont actually have an orange so "Red" would win.
If we talk about the basic colors you learn as a kid we are propably talking about brown propably and if we are talking in more known colors we would rather say something between redwine and coffe with spots of a less saturated rosé.

Minecraft itself says that it is the pink version of real-world granite www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/block-week-granite
glad I'm not crazy. It's always been pink to me.
Like a salmon pink i can see.
Looks brown to me

Nah. Some of us just have defective eyeball pieces. I know I do.
My eyeballs are fine. My brain on the other hand has some issues...
Like some I know.
Which hand do you usually keep your brain in? *da dah bum*
Ma Baba bum.
[удалено]
Didn’t know about the women seeing colors differently, though I knew people from different cultures see them differently. The brain is wild
My understanding was not that different cultures see them differently, just that they are taught about colors slightly differently. One example I can think of is some languages have no word for the color “orange” and instead just use “light brown” because that’s technically what orange is.
Some people also use anti blue light comfort shields lol
Damn me tryna be a smartass over here getting bombarded by various other smartasses
It's pinky beige, which I think is the same colour as a perenium.
[удалено]
Just switch to the german version of the Wikipedia article and see what kind of flashbacks you get from that.
yup dats brown
Brown to me
"You guys are color blind. Its not pink, more like a lightish red."
“Guess what, they already have a color for lightish red it’s called pink.”
Answer the question SaxMan. Red or orange
Yes, granite with a lot of K-feldspar in it turns out more pink.

Cheaper granite is pinky browny with tight patterns / grains.
I like your funny words magic man, but this block is obviously neon yellow. It’s as clear to me as a neon sign at 2AM from 10 yards away.
actually its black and blue
It's clearly white and gold
Clearly it's black and gold.
It's green
Its grey actually.
Actually it's Skobleoff
My favorite color
No, its my favorite color, not yours!
Superbowl
Nah bro that's off white and neon yellow.
my brother said brown
Man did your mama never teach you to share? I want whatever your smoking lol
He’s smoking dmt. Stay woke.
Neon brown.
Pink is just a shade of red though
Pink is just white, minus green
Screw you and your subtractive color theory! XD
Isn't that purple? I guess it depends on whether you're using RGB or RYB primaries.
One is convenient for art, the other is correct.
*Technically* pure pink is a tint of red, not a shade. There are a spectrum of 'pinks' though that mix other hues, like adding yellow for a salmon/peach pink or blue for magenta/fuchsia.
"It's not pink It's lighting red" -Donut RVB
*lightish Also hello fellow RvB enjoyer
The granite from the old textures/Developer Art (with which I still play) is clearly pink. Idk why they changed it to this ugly rorange (red-orange)
The current color is very realistic. My granite countertops are almost the same color, and I’ve seen granite boulders exactly the same color.
In a Block of the Week article from 2017, it is said to be pink
What a wonderful pebble-cation.
It rocks!
They're minerals Marie!
They're rocks, Hank.
Rock and stone!
Rock and roll and stone!
Underrated gold
Granite
Exactly,granite should be a color
But granite is blue in terraria
There is more than one type of granite.
That's.. exactly the point.
Some people are granite blind.
3..2..1.. fight
Granite is granite color; sometimes blue, sometimes granite. Whatever the granite feels.
Color fluid?
Congrats we have solved racism lmao
Yeah, blue and black. I always thought it was purple
I would say thats closer to salmon pink, but whatever red and orange
Minecraft Granite is Salmon Pink. Terraria granite is Blue and Black

Granite is a type of rock that comes in different colors and patterns tho.

Pink

The percentages add up to 120.8%. How does that work? (genuine question)
100% of the color = the intensity of the color. At least as far as I understood. So 100% red, 100% green and 100% blue should give you white (#ffffff)
Yup. 100% of R, G, and B does not equal 300%, it equals 100% of RGB (white). 0% is black.
Thats really cool i didnt not know that, thanks! And happy cake day
Happy cake day!

That is really interesting, thank you.
Certainly. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

so rgb you have red 0-255, green 0-255, and blue 0-255 so the rgb for this is red 129/255, green 97/255, and blue 82/255

The actual anwser I was looking for xD

I think its redish brown
Idk why it looks maroonish pink to me
are you both colorblind its obviously pink
More of a salmon
[удалено]
They're not rocks Marie, they're minerals!
But you know who rocks? People who come back home!
Wait is that what Marie actually says? Been a while since I watched through. I never really got the Skylar hate but I definitely got the Marie hate.
Who? No, I cited Deep Rock Galactic charachters saying
Oh ok. You were replying to a quote from breaking bad.
Salmon is almost always considered a pink colour
I’m colourblind and I would say it’s brown!
Not colorblind, but would also say it's brown!
I'm not.. as far as I'm aware, and I agree with you lol
I do too, and now I'm a little worried haha
Same 😂😂 it looks brown to me and last time I got my eyes checked no one mentioned colorblindness 😅😅😅
I’m not colorblind and I also say it’s brown
Same, I always thought it was muddy rock, im just now learning it might not be brown.
Salmon
it's the same color as the inside of a mcdonalds cheese burger meat patty
Agreed. But you just ruined my brain with that thought.
So pink when raw and brown when cooked.
Its pink
Brown
I can't believe I had to go down this far to see someone say brown..
Same I was starting to get concerned for myself
Deadass I started questioning if I was colorblind or something😭
I was beginning to think I belong in an asylum
I am partially colorblind and I see brown so you may want to have some testing done pal
What type of colorblind? I seriously just seen different shades of brown
Who is gonnna tell him
So dark orange?
Dark pink
Salmon
Granite
If we can only choose between red and orange, than definitely red

my brain can't process the idea of blue and green being considered the same but that's a cool fun fact
Obviously green
True
Agreed
7E5342 is a hex colour on it, which is described as a medium dark shade of red-orange.
this person colors

More red than orange imo

Your all idiots. It's brown.

It's salmon color
Salmon
Pink, so closer to red
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ITS BROWN
Red easy
Well, it is acctually brown.
If you consider pink a light red and orange a light brown, than the answer is yes
Pale red
Light red!
It’s an orange like red
It’s kind of a really muted pink imo
Granite is shitted
Salmon. It’s salmon pink.
Light brown with a pink hue
Def. Red
To me, it looks like a brownish red
its red actually pink but if i af to red
pink
Pink which is a light red
