    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.

      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…
