Grey or Brown?

*puts on flameproof jacket*

I have this sofa and can 100% confirm that it's brown, and in no way grey.

That's beige, surely?

Seller is doing everything to insist it's not beige, obvs. This whole thread is asking for trouble. It's pretty horrible, by the way. Did anyone mention that?

Grey in some images on my pc, brown in others. All brown on phone.

Hard to find the range they sold but the most common one is "Mustang Brown and Mink"

sounds like a cheesy 80's TV cop show.

greyish brown

Wrong. It's brownish grey.

Taupe?

As you can see, the colour on a given spot is 6f6e66. As each of the RGB components of the colour are within a few points of each other, I think it can reasonably be termed grey, it being equal parts of all colours of the spectrum. However, they not being perfectly equal, it is technically off-grey.

 

[Apone70]

Wrong. It's brownish grey.

haha

 

[Apone70]

Its definitely grey though

 

[Raymond Lin]

this was the sellers reply when i said it was brown.

"you are colour blind"

I think we all should send him a question asking if it's brown.

That's all well and good but I can't imagine the guy has white-balanced the photo, his camera/phone or anything.. thus rendering an inspection fairly useless. Given the amount of sunlight coming in the image looks tinted lightly towards the blue end (you'd expect the sunlight to be more yellowy) which indicates he may have taken some of the orange out. So it may be more brown/orange IRL.

OP should ask the guy to hold up a Macbeth. It's the only way

Suggestion accepted.
