HTML hex color questions

As a graphic designer, there's one thing that bothers me: There's a question on the HTML quiz that says "Which color represents the hex value #0face0?" The "correct" option is blue. The problem here is that that is misleading, blue #e0 value ADDS green #ac value, doesn't OVERRIDES it, as the question suggests. Therefore, the correct option would be something more like a cyan(ish), not blue. I think that might be important to address that issue, given the fact that people are in sololearn for learning...

Maybe blue is just closer than other options. But in general you are right, I'd think it's rather cyan.

@Petr yes, that's true. The other options just doesn't make any sense, so this question is rather easy to answer. Nevertheless, I think there's a trend to use the hex colors in the same way, taking in account just the bigger value, not the sum of the three, and I wanted to give my two cents to tackle that problem. Thanks for taking the time to answer, btw!
