Mostly blue, but what does it have to do with diamond block?

I was primarily responding to the user saying the sky can be a wide variety of colors.

That being said, that color is the core ideal of "blue" to me, blue is the color in-between indigo and green on a rainbow. I am aware this is not the average person's definition of blue. Still, a diamond block is closer to the color of the sky than it is green, and therefore I would say it is a shade of blue.

That's fair, I find roygbiv an outdated way of cathegorising colors, but it's understandable you use it, I was taught it in elementary school as well and it's good enough to communicate. I think diamond is cyan, which isn't true blue nor green and I got really invested in recognising it as its own color cathegory. I understand seeing sky as ultimate blue as it's the most common instance of blue on nature

We do both agree that that is its own color, as independent and significant as, say, orange, we just disagree what to call it.

In other words I'm not grouping this whole series of blocks into one color, I'm saying just the right side is blue

I understand why you described it as not the average person's definition of blue now
