This is an interesting color wheel. https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*F2Pd2Mix6PiSEF2xF... The space between red and blue has been expanded (four colors between) and between yellow and green has been shrunk (only two colors between). So the opposite of Red is now Mint instead of Green.
Depends on what color wheel you compare it to. I see it as a pretty reasonable compromise between the traditional 4 primary colors (red-yellow-green-blue) and the 6 primary colors of RGB (red-yellow-green-cyan-blue-magenta).
Their “mint” lies between green and cyan, the two complementary colors of red depending on which primaries you use.
I'm just on a low-end laptop here without color correction, but that "Yellow" looks very orange to me. Just curious if it's the same for you? Maybe it's time to invest in a better laptop screen here.
That yellow is close to neutral yellow, but the “red” is quite orangish, the green is quite yellowish (this picture’s “mint” is still slightly yellowish), and the blue is probably a tad on the purple side. They also have a really weird definition of “pink”.
I'm surprised they're thinking this hard about color and yet still slathering that repulsive hot pink everywhere.
The designers/engineers probably have the constraint of having to make everything work with the "repulsive hot pink", which requires a lot of work.

It's significantly more red than green, so I don't think it's your laptop screen.
Looks like a mustard-y yellow on my screen. Definitely a darker shade of yellow but not very orange to me.

> Blue & yellow hues using the same method. The blue set provides us quite a few usable shades where as the yellow set becomes unusable early on.
What do they mean when they say a color is "usable" or "unusable"? All the colors in this image look fine to me.
I assume they mean that the darker shades of yellow look like puke.
