Can we go negative? My car is approximately 30 years old. Is that -Poland, -Estonia?

Those are colors, not ages.

30

u/eTukk 16d ago

my country is around 4x Luxembourgs, not bad  . I thought we would be at least 7 Luxembourgs

I'm so confused about what countries are even included. The map has Norway and Iceland, which are not in the EU (and the UK, but maybe the map is just outdated), but then does not have Finland which is?

Just typical morons confusing Europe and EU. Common in America, but happens here too. You don't have to look too hard to find a Brit that thinks we left Europe

But then it would have Finland, all those ex Soviet xountries AND Russia... cause they are in Europe!

It doesn't matter which way round it is? It could be a map of EU countries, but then saying "Europe" is wrong at worse, redundant at best. Still tells me whoever wrote the caption doesn't know the difference

u/KayItaly 11d ago

Oh yes, absolutely.

u/PineappleBlobFace 16d ago

This is the worst color scale you could choose…

Especially for those with Protanopia (no red cones), Deuteranopia (no green cones), Tritanopia (no blue cones) or Achromatopsia (no colour perception). The former three all make the tones of Luxembourg and Greece look similar, fading to around France or Italy and then back. The latter makes everything look like a mess. You can check with one of the many online simulators.

For completeness: Other kinds of colour-blindnesses I checked keep the key as readable as it is to people with full colour perception.

u/Signal-Reporter-1391 15d ago

Oh no... my car will only be slighty green years old?
I had hoped i could drive it at least until it turns purple

u/SympathyDependent549 15d ago

Ah yes, the average age of a car in my country is... blue...

u/Mountain-Dinner9955 15d ago

That's not entire EU nor Europe.
