A WOMAN has been left baffled after discovering that after seven years, the armchair she thought was blue is actually grey.
Kristin was originally made aware of the discrepancy when she listed the online for free, with the person interested in taking it pointing out its actual colour.
She then took to TikTok to ask for advice, as she questioned whether she’d been wrong for all this time.
“Is this chair grey or blue?”; she asked.
“Cause I’m giving it away to someone and I’m sending pictures and I’m like, it’s a blue chair and they’re like, that’s grey.
“And I’m like, I’m pretty sure it’s blue.
“And she’s like, can you get more pictures? It’s grey. And I’m like, okay, but my couch and my chair have always been blue.
“But now she’s gaslighting me and I’m starting to believe it!”;
She showed the in the video, as she wondered if it was her phone playing tricks on her.
“Also I shouldn’t be stressing this much over a free chair,”; Kristin continued.
“You either want it or you don’t, but is it blue or is it grey? So I can tell her the truth!”;
“What colour is this chair?”; she asked in the video caption.
And pretty overwhelmingly, the consensus was that it is, in fact, grey.
“I wasn’t prepared for how grey it would be,”; one gasped.
“I was prepared for it to be like a blueish grey, not full on gravestone of a child who died of tuberculosis in the 1800s GREY,”; another joked.
“I wasn’t expecting it to be the oxford dictionary definition of grey,”; a third commented.
“That is so very grey. I’m so sorry this is how you’re finding out,”; someone else said.
To which Kristin replied: “I am actually crashing out!”;
“Is the blue in the room with us?”; another asked.
“Your grey-dar is off hunny. It’s grey,”; someone else said.
“Bestie if you think that is blue, what colour is the sky to you?”; another questioned.
While someone else said: “Are you colour blind by chance?”;
“If I am I am only finding out now,”; Kristin responded.
“That chair is so grey I forgot what blue is!”; another laughed.
As someone else said it could be that Kristin has a condition called Tritanopia, a blue-yellow colour blindness where individuals experience a reduced sensitivity to blue light, and therefore struggle to distinguish between blue and gree, as well as yellow and red.
“Specifically, grey may appear as a very pale blue or blue-green to someone with tritanopia,”; they added.
Kristin tried to prove herself right by laying blue colouring pencils and blue clothing on top of the armchair, before taking some colour blindness tests online and referring herself
“The butterfly effect is crazy because if the Facebook lady never questioned me on this chair colour, I’d have a millennial grey living room for the rest of my life,”; she wrote over the top of another video.
