What color is the right sleeping bag?

	orange
	yellow
	some other made up color
	the bird is nuts

Please respond.
I beg of thee.
It's not in 3D.
I know I can see.
Don't just let it be.



Feel free to respond in words also... but please vote.

Thanks.

Why the limited amount of colors to choose from? Most of my sleeping bags are red, blue or green (though I do have an orange one).

.

The idea is to identify the color of the sleeping bag in the photo on the right in the poll. Basic color names are good enough.

Please vote.

Thank you for the explanation. When he wrote "right" I thought he meant as the "correct" color to have, not that he was asking what is the color of the sleeping back "on the right".

.

In that case, orange. Tennessee (as in Tennessee Vols) orange to be exact.

Stupor Tuesday Polling?

No. Nothing to do with real voting. This is an actual dispute over the color of the bag.

It looks more orange than yellow to me. The one on the left almost looks watermelon color.

Hi Parklover!!

U are the second person this morning to say watermelon for the left bag!!! (First was private text message).

I will give this poll more time and then explain. It's really not a joke. I would like honest answers.

HI JKW It reminds me of the thing with the dress that was on all the news a few months ago. I can understand friendly dispute on things where you have to get input from others. Can't wait to hear the reason.

write in ballot...goldenrod.

Can I revote? I think its Fulvous.

I was thinking goldenrod, but I checked against a color table and the closest I can come up with is "saffron".

Saffron is good but pumpkin comes to mind too.

The one on the right is definitely orange. (In fact both bags are a shade of orange.)

When in doubt, always refer to Crayola: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors

(Note: the one on the left is closest to Crayola's sunset orange.


.

watermelon and mango? Is there some sort of prize for the correct guess? Such as a piece of Ahwahnee china, or a National Parks centennial tee shirt?

The bag on the left is RED

The bag on the right is ORANGE.

Please respond ... as to why after I begged ... you turkeys can't
look at a picture and click a radio dial and then clicky again.

The correct answer may be numba fore.

Caucasian. Even when it's awake.

Pure orange, in hex color, is #FF8000. Pure yellow is #FFFF00.

Poking around with Gimp's color-picker, I get codes like: #FFB06E (in the brightest spot), #EF8D42, and in more shaded areas BE6221 and #BC641D.

This is, by and large, orange.

Yup.

Back in the day of film photography, I was taught the "color" zone system (not to be confused with Adam Ansel's zone system for B&W photography). The color zone system was very useful for getting the correct exposure while shooting slides.

One leaned that the difference between Yellow and Orange was basically that Orange was Yellow underexposed by a full stop. It was a very easy way to turn shimmering yellow Aspen leaves into shimmering orange Aspen leaves.

It's the same zone system. Why would it be anything else?

No, not exactly. The B&W zone system that Ansel used included adjustments not just to the exposure of the negative, but to the exposure of the print in the darkroom.

The zone system used for color slide photography is a lot simpler and is about using a spot meter on a known color value and manually adjusting the exposure of the shot accordingly. It's something I learned first from Galen Rowell, but it was first developed and taught by Neil Chaput de Saintonge, the founder of the Rocky Mountain School of Photography (and was taught by many of the school's instructors through the years.)

That's what the Zone System is all about; but can also include adjusting the exposure curve during development. Works for color just as well. If you don't think so, you don't understand the concepts.

It's black and blue... no, while and gold.

I'll go with mustard and avocado (yum!)--and poor white balance.

Well, I'm inclined to say watermelon and goldenrod for the two bags but my wife (who has worked in or with graphics and art production her whole professional life) assures me that I'm terrible with recognizing most colors!

JKW has given me grief / a hard time / ribbing / chiding / guff / u name it...
With my incredible ability to name the colours of the rainbow...
ok... maybe just my gear...

Here are the bags above... with an ORANGE Tigger... an ORANGE dry bag...
and a "yellow" dry bag...


What color is the dry bag on the right? Or the right dry bag in Wisconsineeeez?

---

There is an infinite variety of "color" between "Orange" and "Yellow", as wavelengths. The question is...to which is it closer? The RGB codes do show that the bag is on the "yellow" side of orange, but they also show orange being dominant.

They don't look the same color in this picture as they did in the first one.

Next question (of which I am continually blasted on... )

What color is the bag?

---

He's getting desperate now... I've seen the sleeping bag and dark colored bag under his packers hat in question in the sun. It's obvious what color they are... Poor thing. He needs a little time to accept.... I'll explain tomorrow.

You mean the RGB color codes pulled from his picture didn't help?

U and others were awesome..!!!

U were clear and used a more objective method as is my preference!

I also loved chicagocwright's clear and concise "red on left, orange on right."

But Chick-on is so darned stubborn!

I'd call it pumpkin. A yellowy orange or orangish yellow.

If JKW rubbed her Cheeto covered fingers on it the bag would appear to look yellow but it Basilbop blew his nose on it the bag would appear orange.

Obviously this is a conspiracy.

JKW prolly stuffing the ballot box to no ends...

sheesh

And have you seen her quilt lately? talk about needing a bib!

Old Dude

Just so we are clear here...

This is what we are dealing with:

---

Jacket: red
Sign: yellow, despite photoshoppage
: on thin ice (and probably claiming it's "boating" )

rut roh!



Backpack cova : orange

Shirtie: Chartruce

Do I need a bigger boat?

OMG!

You wouldn't budge until I stood next to that sign! Grrrr....

And the bag is ORANGE, NOT YELLOW!

The outside of the bag is charcoal, it's so faded. Sure, it may have been a dark green when it was new, but now... The inside shows the green better, but...

All, I had a yellow jacket with me... And that sleeping bag is obviously orange, as in navel orange orange. And Chick-on keeps saying it's yellow... Sigh....

And I won't even go into display discrepancies which may have led some of you to say yellow. Sigh, again...

If the choices are orange and yellow then the bag is definitely orange. Where did the "it's yellow" come from?? I have the same bag and it's orange. Chick-ons are color blind you know. I think all the wearing of the yellow cheese-head thing did something to the rods and cones.

You don't want to know.

I thought the bag looked like a big Twinkie.



Some would say that I am left-brained....
or that I left my brain at the door.

OK... so...

The correct answer is actually:

Majestic Ahwahnee Yellow

or

North Butter Mountain Goldenrod

but any answer is unacceptable

if you would have gotten it right you would have one a
yellow caribiner:

And from Denair and Patterson too.

BTW, can you name all the Sierra peaks seen in your photo?

Leave No Trace

It's all Turlock to me.

Bay Area / Turlock / Yosemite



Thanks to the amazing number of votes ... (I'm being sarcastic)



Not gonna name the peaks... the "big ones" are obvious, no?
Seriously... you can find the names here:
http://www.whitneyportalstore.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=59083#Post59083%3E

Along with a better picture...

When first looking... I mistook Merced Peak for Mt. Florence... ooops.... once you see Clark... you
realize u tamaracked it... and can reposition ur eyeballz and easily see Half a Dome, Sentinel Dome, etc.

It wasn't crystal clear... but not bad...

Not bad at all. Thanks for sharing it!
