ASK A.I. — “What Color Was Jesus?”

ASK A.I. — “What Color Was Jesus?”

Jesus is always depicted in art and in movies as a white European man, but surprising truths come from Artificial Intelligence when asked direct questions. When asked what color Jesus was, A.I. at first gave a stock, programmed, evasive answer: “Jesus was a Palestinian Jew, and based on historical and geographical evidence, he likely had brown or black hair, honey/olive-brown skin, and brown eyes.”

Given that OLIVE and BROWN are yet descriptions that may include some Europeans, A.I. was then asked to further elaborate using the standard color-mixing method in the printing industry:

“What is ‘olive-brown’ on the CMYK and RGB color charts?”

A.I. answered:

The CMYK value for olive-brown translates to:

Cyan (C): 20%
Magenta (M): 40%
Yellow (Y): 50%
Black (K): 30%

On the RGB chart olive-brown translates to:

Red (R): 122
Green (G): 85
Black (B): 51

A.I was then asked what the CMYK value of the darkest- skinned European. It answered:

Cyan (C): 0%
Magenta (M): 25%
Yellow (Y): 50%
Black (K): 15%
