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Kristin was originally made aware of the discrepancy when she listed the chair online for free, with the person interested in taking it pointing out its actual colour.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 sofa and chair 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.
I furnished my ENTIRE home with Facebook Marketplace finds - my stools were free & I saved £1k on a farmhouse table set
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!"
What is colour analysis?
Colour analysis is a tool you can use to determine which colours flatter you most.
It's based on your overall appearance and particularly the colouring of your eyes, hair and skin.
You are then assigned one of twelve colour seasons.
Each colour season comes with a colour palette, specifically designed to harmonise with your natural colouring.
According to a British study, there is evidence that suggests that the colours worn by a person can affect how they are perceived by others.
For example: red and pink are thought to signal sexual attractiveness, particularly when worn by women, while dark colours like black or navy may convey the impression of authority - in turn making the wearer seem less approachable.
The theories of colour analysis also teach that certain colours are capable of emphasising or, conversely, de-emphasising an individuals attractiveness to others.
Unflattering colours may make a person look pale, for instance, or draw attention to such "flaws" as wrinkles or uneven skin tone. Flattering colours are thought to have the opposite effect.
"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 to the doctor.
"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.

Michelle Keegan lands six-figure deal to become new face of Sky in her first job since having baby Palma
FORMER Corrie star Michelle Keegan has signed a six-figure advertising deal to become the new face of Sky. She is set to film a series of promo clips — which will be shown around the globe — with fellow British actor, Luther star Idris Elba. 3 Michelle Keegan has signed a six-figure advertising deal to become the new face of Sky Credit: Getty 3 Michelle's comedy-drama Brassic one of the most popular series to air on the platform Credit: Getty The deal is Michelle's first major job since she gave birth to her daughter Palma in March. She landed the deal after becoming a major player for Sky, with her comedy-drama Brassic one of the most popular series to air on the platform. A source said: 'Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. 'She has signed a six-figure deal for the job and is thrilled to have been chosen to appear alongside Idris, who has been their 'face'. 'Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand. 'Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she's fast becoming a brand in her own right. "Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.' The actress, 38, found fame as Tina McIntyre on Coronation Street after joining the ITV soap in 2007. But it was after she left in 2014 her career really took off, with hits such as BBC military drama Our Girl from 2016 to 2020, playing Georgie Lane. Last year, she had the starring role as Maya Stern in Netflix's Harlan Coben thriller Fool Me Once — which racked up more than 100 million views globally. Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan take newborn baby Palma to another luxury hotel as they stay in £21k a night suite The show became the streaming service's most watched series of 2024, beating Bridgerton and Baby Reindeer. Michelle also stars in the BBC's Australian drama Ten Pound Poms. The Sun revealed last year that the Manchester-born actress, who is married to Heart radio DJ and former The Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright, 38, was sitting on a £3.6million fortune. Michelle admitted leaving Coronation Street after six years had pushed her onwards to succeed with her career. She said: 'For me, it was a massive learning platform. "I took a long, long time to decide to leave. It was very hard. 'And then, when they told me they were killing off my character and there was no going back, I thought I would never work again. 'My security was ripped away, which made me push forward and work harder.' 3 Idris Elba will join Michelle in leading the Sky brand Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

David Beckham to guest edit edition of Country Life Magazine
The former England captain and businessman will join the editorial team for the October 22 edition of the magazine with the aim of celebrating what the countryside means to him and his family. He follows in the footsteps of Royal Family members who previously joined the editor-in chief Mark Hedges at the helm, including the King, the Princess Royal and the Queen. Beckham said: 'I am honoured to have been invited to guest edit an edition of a magazine that I have always admired and read. 'I am really looking forward to working with the editorial team to produce an issue that will celebrate what the countryside and the great British landscape means to me and my family.' This comes as Beckham is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours, according to reports by The Sun. The football star regularly documents his life in the countryside by posting pictures and videos on his Instagram including him harvesting vegetables, gardening and his flock of chickens. Mark Hedges, Country Life editor-in-chief, said: 'I know he has a deep love of the countryside, which has grown since he retired as a professional footballer, although he is, of course, still extremely busy as a businessman and an ambassador for a host of causes, such as Unicef and The King's Foundation, as well as being co-owner of Inter Miami CF in the US and Salford City Football Club in the UK. 'As someone who is passionate about the countryside, I'm excited to see what his special commemorative issue will bring.' The one-off edition aims to highlight how the countryside has played an important part in Beckham's life. It will feature his favourite view, his best-loved recipe and spotlight his rural champions, including the craftsmen and woman who helped shape his home in the Cotswolds. Beckham, who played for his country 115 times, is the only Englishman to score at three different World Cups and his career included the treble-winning campaign of 1998-99, when Manchester United won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. He earned the third highest number of England caps of all time for the men's team, and was captain on 59 occasions. The former winger married Spice Girl Victoria, also known as Posh Spice, in 1999.

Hilarious lottery winner ‘dries her tears with £20 notes' after body-shaming troll mocks her Victoria's Secret haul
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LOTTO winner hilariously hit back at a troll who body-shamed her by wiping fake tears with £20 notes. Olivia Love, of Glasgow, scooped £10,000-a-month for a year alongside hubby Kevin last month. 4 Olivia Love and her husband Kevin scooped £10,000-a-month for a year in the lottery Credit: ALAN PEEBLES PHOTOGRAPHY 4 Olivia wiped fake tears with £20 notes in response to hateful messages Credit: Olivia Young 4 Poeple have applauded Olivia's hilarious response Credit: Olivia Young After the first installment dropped in her bank account, Olivia went on a huge shopping spree and enjoyed her "Pretty Woman moment" spending £750 in Victoria's Secret. The 36-year-old's also been able to quit her job at a local supermarket, and hire a cleaner and gardener. And thanks to her massive tax-free win, she hopes to build her dream career in wedding content creation. Since going public with her win, Olivia has been speaking out about the life-changing cash in more detail on TikTok. Many social media users have flooded her with supportive messages, but the mum-of-four has still faced cruel comments from trolls. In a video, she said: "You see things like 'looks like she needs a PT', I'm assuming personal trainer. Or when they say things like, 'my bro's only with her for the money'. "And when they comment on the things that I've spent the money on. It's pretty soul destroying to have this kind of bullying. "Now I realise that I went public, so I'm kind of bringing this on myself. But I didn't realise that in announcing a lottery win [and] trying to change our lives by using the money for good, would end up with this. "It's 2025, why are we still commenting on a woman's body? "This is a happy time for my family. We're overjoyed, we're so unbelievably happy. And it has changed our lives for the better. National Lottery Winners' advisors tell The Sun what it's like to give away £7bn "But these people, with their jealousy and nastiness, are determined to bring me down. I've got a relatively thick skin, I've been through a lot of s***. And I've done my best to come out the other side of it." Olivia made an example of one hateful message by responding with a hilarious video. She wiped fake tears from her eyes with £20 notes she pulled from a Kleenex box and joked that she "cried all the way to the bank" while looking at a comment which read: "£750 in Victoria's Secret? For her? She'll look like a smoked ham in a thong." Her clip quickly racked up 30,000 views with people left in stitches over her good humour. One gushed: "Omg that has made me howl, perfect response." "You deserve every penny", a second insisted. A third echoed: "I hope you win even more money!!!" A fourth wrote: "This is such a good reaction to this comment. AHAHHAHAHA." A fifth said: "Love this reply!! Sod the haters. Enjoy your winning." Meanwhile, a sixth added: "Best response!" We told earlier how a simple email from the National Lottery team at 12.33am on May 16 changed everything for Olivia. Before this, the mum-of-four was earning just £800-a-month working in a supermarket's customer service kiosk. 4 Olivia says the lotto win has been life-changing Credit: ALAN PEEBLES PHOTOGRAPHY She was on Universal Credits to subsidise her eye-watering £1,800-a-month childcare costs and "dreaded" her council tax bill coming through. She said: "My husband and I claimed Universal Credit because we needed help with the cost of childcare. "Now, obviously, because I've won £10,000 a month for a year, I'm no longer entitled to that which, you know, quite right." Olivia and Kevin won the second-tier prize on The National Lottery's Set For Life on May 15 after matching five main numbers. The winning numbers in the draw were: 03, 27, 42, 45, 46, plus Life Ball 06. 'Set For Life' offers a top prize of £10K a month for 30 years when the five main numbers and the Life Ball are matched. Players can also win £10K a month for a whole year by matching the five main numbers.
