      Colour theory is extremely complicated and you can’t really tell from an RGB value in isolation that it represent a colour “exactly halfway” between green and yellow. Colour is perceptual, not a physical phenomenon, and this has significant meaningful consequences. But I’m glad you found a narrative that saved your marriage.

    We disagreed for years about the color of our couch. I called it brown. He called it blue. It was a weird grayish brown colored couch, but because it was labeled “slate” when he bought it, he insisted it was blue. We then added a teal blue couch to our house which just solidified my “this is the brown couch” position. We do not, to this day, agree. Eventually we got rid of the couch.
