Thats the exact point of this experiment to define the inbetween and move it to either green or blue.

Wrong way to do it. We know from psychometrics that forced binaries like this just create junk (people disagree with the question, so just choose a forced answer based on some heuristic for each such question like "closest to my mouse / finger" or "most socially desirable" or "same as last time"). So you aren't measuring what you think when you force choice like this.

If you're going to go with linguistic self-report and a single item, you really want something like an 11-point Likert scale. A smart design might get e.g. a person's rating of "blue-ness vs. green-ness" on an 11-point scale, then determine the optimal cutpoint via e.g. clustering, logistic regression, or some other method, to really get something meaningful.

		Is it really junk though? There are several comments in this thread like “people tell me I call stuff blue that they think is green and this quiz confirms that.”

That makes about as much sense as trying to compete for who can provide the most wrong answer for "2+2="

It's a linguistics thing, it's about word usage more than about colour. You ask someone to get a book off the shelf, and you say "get the blue book" and the person is confused because they see a green book.

We are usually not specific in our day-to-day language, and this exposes/clarifies the issue.

		I think the "numeric" equivalent to this would be "is this a few/many?" And you would get some number arguing how "several" is a distinct category in the same way this post has people talking about cyan.
