Reply To: Techeiles 🔵❎🐌☑️🐟

Since there seems to be some confusion as to what my point was, I will restate it:

Focusing only on Talmudic era literature descriptions of Techeiles, it makes more sense to say that Techeiles is green rather than blue because if you say that Techeiles is blue thwn there are several places where the comparison is “blue resembles green which resembles blue/green (depending on how you view “Yam”) which in turn resembles blue”. That does not sound very logical. However if Techeiles is green then there are several places where the comparison is “green resembles green which resembles green/blue which resembles blue which resembles blue…

which makes perfect sense, even more so when you consider the opinions that Techeiles is not directly Domeh to the rakia/kisei/sapir.
