Am I colourblind?

It says army green, yet to me they look lovely rich dark blue:

Rare Vintage Army Green The Orginal Dr Martens Size 38.5 Made In England

From memory, and I'm not going to hunt now the easy way has gone, they are a dark green. Not what I would call army green, which is medium (in Australia at least), but green nonetheless.

It looks like a mix between the two colours with not one overshadowing the other. Either way, I wouldn''t call them army green.

I haven't seen this much colourful language for a while.

I do see them as a very deep green in the second photo.  I'm guess their lighting for the photo shoot was a bit off.  I know I have huge problems getting true colour when I try to photograph my knitting wool.  😞

Oh you honestly wouldn't buy from that seller would you Nova? Have you read her thread in AC ?;\

I don't think it's vital to anyone (Buyers) what exact shade they are - is not like they would have to match them to anything they wear them with. With this type of footwear  it matters not in the slightest.

If they think they are buying green, they get blue - big deal!

And it's also the case of those shades almost never showing up properly - don't know why.

I know when we have a rich emerald green - it always ends up looking blue/green no matter what we do with lighting.

And few other green shades - always end up looking "tinged" with something.

No, I have no intention buying from that seller, and definitely not interested in $100 second hand shoes.  🙂   Just wondered if they actually look green on other people's screen.

Any deviation between the listing and the received product leaves the seller open to a dispute that it wasn't as described.

The second photo does look a touch greener but it's still basically the same shade of blue/green. Not army green, at least in the photos.

Rubbish.

Seller is not a magician, nor he can controll the hues on different monitors.

Obviously if listing says item is beige and you receive purple, that is a definite colour difference, but shading isn't - even officially, according to Ebay as well as PP.

But I was really more specific, only talking about Dr. Martens boots (any  of them, from any seller) - saying that I couldn't imagine anyone on the planet whinging about the colour, blue, green, purple whatever - as the clashing colours is the whole point of wearing them, appart from durability.

To answer your question - yes you are colour blind. 😉
