Woman Sparks Debate About What Color Her Furniture Is—Only To Discover She's Colorblind

TikToker @im.krispy turned to TikTok to settle a debate on whether the furniture she was attempting to give away was blue or gray—and through a series of twists and turns learned that she's actually colorblind.

We've all heard the saying that there's no way of knowing everything that you don't know until you're faced with it directly. For some people, that could even be the color of the world around them.

Kristin Hughes, or @im.krispy on TikTok, reached out to the platform for a second opinion while she was trying to list a chair on Facebook Marketplace. Even though she wasn't charging anything for it, the woman who was interested in it continued to inquire for more photos and to know more about the color of the couch.


Hughes felt increasingly perplexed, explaining her situation.

"Is this couch gray or blue? Because I'm giving it away to someone, and I'm sending them pictures of my blue chair, and they said it's gray."
"My couch and my chair have always been blue, and now she's gaslighting me, and I'm starting to believe it."
"I'm like, is it gray or is it blue?"

WHAT COLOR IS THIS CHAIR!!

Now, here's the catch: Fellow TikTokers were expecting to see a couch that might look gray in one light and blue in another, or a gray couch with blue tones, or one of those threaded couches that look more blue or more gray, depending on who's looking at it.

But what they received was a dark, charcoal gray couch that did not look blue, no matter the lighting or angle that Hughes offered.

And fellow TikTokers were not shy about heckling Hughes about it.

Two TikTokers focused on asking the important questions, though.

To make matters worse, Hughes even informed viewers that her 9-5 job is to "design living room sets.

So she may be partially responsible for so many Millennials having gray furniture.

Can’t make this up

Hughes was a wonderful sport about the situation, and she turned back to a recent trend on TikTok, referring to the Butterfly Effect.

"The Butterfly Effect is crazy, because if the Facebook lady never questioned me on this chair color, I'd have a Millennial Gray living room for the rest of my life."

take this as my official acceptance.

Hughes also humored viewers by taking an online colorblind test—and the results were not surprising to fellow TikTokers.

@im.krispy

Results are in but the doctor will be the deciding factor 🤓

She later made an appointment with an eye doctor, and sure enough, she discovered she is indeed colorblind:

@im.krispy

Will need at least 3-5 business days to process this one 😭😭🤯

She even got a pair of colorblind glasses, and saw the world in a whole new light—and was even able to admit that her couch is indeed gray.

@im.krispy

@EnChroma Inc thank you so much for the special gift 🥹🌈 still trying to wrap my head around the fact that what I see is not quite what everyone else sees?!? *results and reaction times vary*

It's amusing to discover that Hughes has been decorating her living room, from what it sounds like based around the color of her couch that she always thought was blue, only to discover belatedly that it's a dark gray.

At least she's able to laugh about it, and now she can decide if this is the furniture she wants in her home or if she wants to go with something less "Millennial Gray."
