    We disagreed for years about the color of our couch. I called it brown. He called it blue. It was a weird grayish brown colored couch, but because it was labeled “slate” when he bought it, he insisted it was blue. We then added a teal blue couch to our house which just solidified my “this is the brown couch” position. We do not, to this day, agree. Eventually we got rid of the couch.

        This is the couch up against our old mantle with painted brown bricks (we didn’t do that, we were renting)

          Edit: For completeness, here's ours

            Yes! I can see yours as well shares that weird tone. I understand why there’s an argument, while still fully believing the couch is obviously brown.

          Hi, after seeing the couch I just want to say I’m not interested in purchasing it any more. I’m looking for a blue couch and that one is clearly brown. Thanks.

          That looks like a reddish brown, but it’s impossible to tell with 100% certainty unless you use a high-end HDR camera to take another pic (and find a way to share the RAW image file cause I don’t know if any browser that supports deep color images). But as far as the s.RGB color space is concerned, there’s no blue in that image.

          Edit: Pulled the hex values from part of the couch; it is in fact reddish-brown (#3A2F2E), although some might argue that it’s reddish-grey.

      Poor couch 😥

      One can also have endless arguments about the color turquoise. Is it rather green, or rather blue? Same as teal I guess.

        I had very constructive arguments about this with my grandma :

        • Can you fetch one the green tiles ?
        • What green tile ? You only have blue ones.
        • Goes to fetch it herself. See ? A tile, and it’s green.
        • But it’s clearly blue…
        • I don’t know what you mean, can’t you see that it’s green ?
        • I can see very clearly that it’s blue.
        • No this is green, this is blue, and the tile is closest to green.
        • It isn’t though, it’s definitely closest to blue.
        • A while later
        • This is pointless… Let’s just call it turquoise.
        • Turquoise it is.
        • The next time
        • Your new oven mittens are quite nice, the blue goes well in your kitchen.
        • They are green…

        The answer to that question is “no”.
        It’s turquoise. You wouldn’t argue about whether orange is yellow or red, either.
