[@michelesalter9564]

I watched this yesterday and came back to get your verbiage on "the line between color" and it made me wonder how much the name of the color in the palette causes you to think that the color is either blue or green. What lovely dialogue and I pulled out all of my eyeshadows, they are waiting for me on the dining room table and I am going to swatch by color groups and find out what I discover with my human lines of color. Thank you Hannah for always inspiring me.

[@LizzaLee]

I would draw the line between blue and green in a different place. Maybe because I have blue eyes and cool-toned skin? I would call most of your blues either green or some kind of teal/aqua.

[@d.on.in.a]

That's because blue is a primary colour while green is any shade that contains any amount of plue and yellow. So a very blue leaning green is still green.

[@fray-adjacent]

Love these videos. If you ever feel like swatching all of your taupes and wondering what even is taupe, I'd be into it.

[@Jordanavargasf]

These are greens and I was thinking about it when I watched the green video … felt like you left a lot of them out ! You have way more green than blue in my opinion ! I’m so in love with the swatches videos that you make ! 😍😍❤️

[@sallyjordan4869]

It’s interesting that you said you shy away from blue because it’s the complementary color to your orange hair. In garden color theory, we’re often encouraged to put complementary colors together. I think some of those blues would look lovely on you, although most redheads do look fabulous in green, I’ll admit.

[@Jordanavargasf]

I was thinking as an image consultant the same thing. But some people do not want the orange hair to pop and complimentary colors tend to do that but Hannah uses green and green will make red pop … soooo confused right here

[@HollyNikole]

I love these swatching videos and I also just adore at how loved and used your Natasha Denona gold palette is, it’s satisfying:)

[@cryhounds]

everyone complaining about the arbitrary line between green and blue and forgetting to yell at hannah for that persona eyeshadow that is DEFINITELY GRAY, HANNAH, with an undertone i would call purple, i think. BUT i agree with your assertion that color categorization is a human construct... its actually really interesting how color categorization has developed over human history, starting with black and white (or shadow and light), red next, green after that i believe... i forget the exact order, but blue was one of the last colors to be defined (which explains homer's wine-dark sea). you probably already know this of course, im just obsessed with it conceptually and i love referencing it in poetry...

[@abeautyproject]

The comments section has me loling because I see where everyone’s coming from, and yet I also see where Hannah is coming from. As a clasically trained painter, and knowing Hannah’s background in the arts, we both look at the “blues” in terms of how they happen to be categorized on the color wheel. A lot of these shades are just really blue-green, a tertiary color, and can go either way. A lot of artists would agree to see blue greens as more in the blue family than the green family, because we associate greens with a pure 50/50 mix of blue and yellow, or a more yellow leaning ratio. But in terms of makeup we make such few distinctions between color families and any hint of yellow constitutes a green. So nobody’s really wrong, here. It’s just great to see what people would call a for sure green vs a “well it’s kinda a blue.”

[@RK-re1wm]

[@wicked_something]

please do yellow! Or red! 🥺🥺🥺 this series nourishes my soul

[@amberwings17]

This perception of blue vs green reminds me of something. So apparently people are able to "see" more colors if they learned to categorize them separately. For instance, most people see pink as a distinct color from red, but light blue is still blue. Even though you only add white to red, we don't "see" light red, we "see" pink. If we learned that light blue was a different color from regular blue, we would perceive it as a different color, which is kind of fascinating to me. All this to say, I think color categories can be somewhat subjective, oddly enough

[@its_me_jen_jen9204]

This is so interesting. TFS!

[@amydement.]

I LOVE This and the title cracks me up. Have you ever seen Eddie Izzard's "Death Star Cantina" bit? It reminds me of that -"this one's [green] this one's [green], they're ALL [GREEN]!" Worth a watch if your a fan of Eddie or Star Wars or both!

[@swood2603]

from one Hannah to another, that's a lot of green lol

[@sarahmayo2421]

This is so funny because while watching the green swatch video, when you closed the singles palette without swatching Queen of Mean, Forbidden, etc. a neurotic little voice in my head was like "no girl where are you going?! You're not done! There are more greens in there!!"

[@brennankubica7534]

You inspired me to do this in my own collection and what I realized is just how much colours exist on a scale. My bronzes were almost always leaning either gold and copper. Same went for my blues, they were almost always leaning either green or purple! I was heart pressed to find a not at all copper or gold bronze as well as a not at all purple or green blue. It can be done but few and far between Think I'm going to do pinks/purples next and maybe duochromes. Messy but so soothing

[@evashea3842]

I love the closeup view of your arm swatches at the end! 😍

[@hcomet1999]

The thumbnail is 🤤 also this inspired me to swatch my shadows !! I think I will start with purple.

[@brennankubica7534]

Swatchig My Green Eyeshadows part 2 - fixed it LOL :) Ya those are 98% greens... when you were swatching the greens in your last video and didn't include many because they were "more blue" I was scaring my partner shouting at my TV screen LOL What we've learned: 1) Hannah is colour blind when it comes to differentiating blue and green ;) 2) has very few actual blues in her collection 3) could use some assistance in shopping/picking out (not at all green) blue eyeshadows as with her colouring blues would look so bomb 4) murky blues are pretty much always more green than blue single shadow: 4 blues palette blues: 7 blues

[@hannahmorrison1690]

Hi Hannah! I love this series! I also love Weathered from Clionadh! Also, I got my first pj set from printfresh and am obsessed and trying to live a life of fewer nicer things as well. I’m just not very good at that when it comes to eyeshadow.

[@JustAHorrorShow]

Blue is the most popular color in the world. That's probably why there are so many palettes with a pop of blue. People are just generally drawn to the color blue.

[@kagitsune]

Also the blue pops perfectly complemented the warm (orange) neutrals that were so popular during those years! And blue is such a lively color. Somewhat rare in the botanic and mineral worlds. A color used to paint Saints, and to color charms against bad energy. But so ubiquitous in the sky and the ocean that it was often one of the last colors to be named while languages developed! It's just the color of our environment, so we don't bother to name it until our relationship with the world is complex and detailed enough to point it out as something unique!

[@JustAHorrorShow]

@@kagitsune Your comment makes me happy. It's rare to find other people who spend a lot of time thinking about and analyzing our relationships with colors.

I like wearing blue clothing. I don’t like wearing blue makeup. It’s quite unforgiving imo. On me anyway

[@practicepositiveprogress5396]

Such beautiful shadows, and I love them! Gonna be one more voice of righteous indignation saying many of those are green imo but also color is relative and we do all draw lines differently and I feel compelled to voice my opinion on the internet because I love blues and greens but those kaladios flower punk shades are the most clearly green imo. That isn't pool blue it's seafoam green. ❤️❤️❤️ Honestly thank you for letting my frustrations be about something that is truly irrelevant and letting me forget the very real struggles for a bit.

[@LePezzy66]

I always have discussion with people about what blue is, and what green is. It's funny to see other people struggle with this too haha

[@DonnaDoveWinters]

Oh I love blue eyeshadow, but people seem to have such a problem with it. Probably PTSD from the terrible blue eyeshadow from the 80s. But I personally really enjoy midnight blue and endless sea from the L'Oreal infallible line

[@deathbeforedecaf7755]

It just doesn’t wear as well as other colors imo. Looks pretty. Nice to swatch. Can maybe look pretty when worn initially but as the day goes on , looks harsh and clownish. I cannot think of anyone with blue eyeshadow on where Im like omg what are you’re wearing. It’s more like whoa that’s some blue eyeshadow there. Kind of theory v in practice I guess. Btw I wasn’t wearing any blue eyeshadow in the 80s so no PTSD😉

[@Taleneki]

@@deathbeforedecaf7755 Funny that you say that, because whenever I've worn a blue eyeshadow look, I've gotten lots of compliments from both friends and even strangers I met on the street. I'd say it rather depends on your undertones how colours wear on you.

[@mairino7799]

My eyes are basically the same color as the peacock blue/green from the gold palette. I think of my eyes as green, but this is making me understand why some people think I have blue eyes.

[@Robin-no8cu]

Mine are too. I just call them blue-green.

[@1beefybroad]

Lol I would have called 6 of those actual blues, with 2 more *maybe* blues. I love these swatch videos regardless!

[@annepapillon]

Could you do it again, blue/teal on one arm and green on the other? I would love to see it!

[@abidavies154]

After your green video I swatched all my green and I have so much green. Have way more blue than you too. Sometimes I like to wear blue because it makes my blue eyes pop I think. Not sure how but it brings them out somehow 😊 Wearing the club nebula blues today 😊

[@earthaforester3141]

My husband and I argued for years about whether his old car was blue or green. It was one of those deep teals that shifted in the sunlight a little bit. I said blue, because it looked like lake water. But he said green. And one day he got a ticket and the officer wrote "green" under the vehicle description, and I decided men just can't see as many colors as women. Haha.

[@kagitsune]

Actually, I've heard some evidence of this! Apparently there is a significant percentage of AFAB people who can see slightly into the ultraviolet range. Maybe that's why we have traditionally gotten into subtleties of color with our dress, hair coloring, and other adornments!

[@deathbeforedecaf7755]

I would think lake water would be green though I’m sure not all lakes are the same. Only waters I’d consider blue is when I visited Capri, Italy😉

[@mizshellytee]

I think some of the ones you swatched are green, some are blue, some are either teal (blue-green leaning more green) or turquoise (blue-green leaning more blue), and then there's Persona Independent which looks like a greyish purple (😍) in the pan but sort of gunmetalish on your arm. Ahh...colour nerdery.

[@kirrisolly-slade1313]

Haha I have always argued with people about Seeing a colour as yellow when other people see it as green..... Blue and green obviously incites the same reaction in others and it makes for some great viewing!

[@KieraJo]

I was actually watching an art video not too long ago about color mixing. The artist in the video (I think it was Sinix?) was talking about limits we run into when naming colors, and he mentioned a few things I found interesting: 1. All colors are on a spectrum, but for whatever reason there is more variety in the blue-green spectrum than there is in the red-orange spectrum even though they take up the same amount of space on the color wheel. 2. In English, we have fewer names for blues and greens than some other languages do. 3. If we had more specific names for warmer greens, cooler greens, and other “in between” shades (like if we never even thought to call a mint green or a teal solely “green” or “blue” because we always defaulted to the more specific name), he suggested that we would be better at noticing subtle hue variations and be better at identifying colors.

[@morganbaldwinmiller]

LOL I would say at least eight of those are actually green... I tend to label teals and turquoises and peacocks etc "green" vs "blue" according to which one it leans toward. Like a peacock color is usually more green vs a teal, which to me looks more blue. And when it comes to duochrome shadows, I tend to distinguish it by the color that pops the most in it, like those oil slick shadows with a ruddy reddish or brown base with teal or blue etc shimmer, I'd umbrella term by whatever the shine is.

[@ave_rie]

I dont mind that only 4 of the swatches are actually blue since they’re all pretty 😊 (Plus we all have diff eyes/ devices so that could change the color too) What irritates me is when brands get lazy with describing colors and settles with a completely unrelated naming scheme. Brands don’t always label/describe things “correctly” like when something is clearly mauve, they say it’s “rose”. Anything that has both blue and green or deep violet or gray, they say blue. Anything that looks like a type of metal, they say “bronze” even though it is obviously copper. All browns also get lumped together as “brown” even though the lighter ones can lean beige/cream or neutral orange and deeper ones can lean deep olive, chocolate, and almost grayish.

[@kagitsune]

Oooh, good point. In addition to the cultural lines between colors, we also have the technological differences!

[@Robin-no8cu]

Girl…in that first armful of swatches, you have two blues, two teals and the rest are varieties of green. According to my eyes! 😉

[@anotherlemontree]

So interesting. Among this set of swatches, only eight are blues to my retinas, and just three could be cyan or teal. Bar that steel (which is a grey to me) and the Clionadh multichrome, everything else is a straight green to me. Like those Gold palette peacock shades and the Flowerpunk mint/spring greens are inarguably greens according to my perception. It's kind of spooky to realise how differently we can experience colour, huh!

[@agirlyhasnoname]

Welp I guess in in some weird minority. Not sure if it also has to do with skintone and undertone but I have ND Gold and tealy greenish shades pull Super BLUE on me. I also see a lot of blue shades I would categorize as GREY Or Silver.... not sure if it's my eyes or because shades like that on my warm undertone just usually pull blue grey or almost black which is why I Rarely wear blue eyeshadows like navy or cobalt and lean more towards bright Turquoise etc which actually show on my brown skin.

Girl most of those swatches are GREEN! So I’ll be the human drawing the line!!!

[@SaplingTarot]

"I'm prone to think that colours just exist in the world and that without human labelling them as falling into categories they're just on a spectrum, so blue bleeds into green and the line between them is something that we draw artificially, but it's interesting to examine where one draws that line or where an individual human draws that line..." This observation feels so poignant and prescient, from tones of eyeshadow to the humans that draw these lines about ourselves.

I know everyone sees mostly greens, but I legit see mostly blues and grays with only a few greens Trippy!

[@Lolzadoodle8484]

I have a spreadsheet of my eyeshadow shades sorted by color family, and because of how vast the "bluish greenish" line is, I have a blue category, a green category, and a mint/teal category. If I can't draw the line, the shade goes to the latter! Lol.
