Difference in colour on screen???

[calsof]

I really haven't had any real problems trading on eBay. I do have my moments and complain but most customers seem to be great. Today's buyer doesn't seem to be a terror but I am wondering what she wants and how I can help.

I have an iPod accessory pack in my store:

Blue Accessory Pack set case screen protector earphones usb for iPod Touch 4

I got a message yesterday saying:

"I received the items today but they're different colours as to what is pictured! I bought them expecting to look like picture as a birthday present for my son this Sunday, wouldn't have mattered if they had of been. A different shade but they don't match, the earphones are a different colour to the USB cord an they don't match the cover :("

Now, I replied, I've offered a refund or other resolution and asked how I can help, even gave the lady a call today as she didn't reply back to my message. During the phone call she insisted that the USB cord and the earphones looked like they were the exact same shade of blue in the photo. She insisted that this was not the case with the actual items that she has received. Then she quickly hung up before I had a chance to offer anything else or to see what it is she expected.

Please, pray, please tell me: do the two items look like there is no difference whatsoever in shade? The royal blue aluminium parts on the earphones and the baby blue plastic coating on the USB? Do they look the same on other people's screens? Because I've opened the page on 3 computers and they all show that there is a difference in the shade!

Not sure that she will claim INAD but I offered to refund her... she just doesn't seem to want that. Haven't got a clue what she wants as she's not telling me but hoping she doesn't send a little red dot my way. :_|

My cats are all ex cats but they were all black, white or both.

My eyes are green - does that count?

I'd like a rooster

All cats are grey in the dark B-)

So when people ask what colour my cat is, do I have to reply "the absence of light" instead of "black"???

Incidentally, the true colour of space is beige, not dark blue as depicted in illustrations  of the universe.

Some cultures do not distinguish between green and blue, they are variations of the same colour.

I can never get too much useless information on colours

Gotta love this thread! I was feeling rather bored for a Saturday night but this takes the cake. Well done everyone :^O

Hahaha

Yep, I thought it was great fun too!

It's been feeding multiple other threads too where people are talking about colour blind Mrs Fishy. I'm sure this is one of those threads that will just multiply with all sorts of useless scientific information on colours, light, the universe, all with a colourful twist! Well done and thank you all!!!
