We disagreed for years about the color of our couch. I called it brown. He called it blue. It was a weird grayish brown colored couch, but because it was labeled "slate" when he bought it, he insisted it was blue. We then added a teal blue couch to our house which just solidified my "this is the brown couch" position. We do not, to this day, agree. Eventually we got rid of the couch.
A similar debate with my partner is how I'm found out I'm colorblind lol
Do you still have the picture? We'd love to see.
This is the couch up against our old mantle with painted brown bricks (we didn't do that, we were renting)
Dang, we have a Couch with a similar color and I was just about to post the same story. It's brown btw
Edit:
Yes! I can see yours as well shares that weird tone. I understand why there's an argument, while still fully believing the couch is obviously brown.
Hi, after seeing the couch I just want to say I'm not interested in purchasing it any more. I'm looking for a blue couch and that one is clearly brown. Thanks.
Brown
That looks like a reddish brown, but it's impossible to tell with 100% certainty unless you use a high-end HDR camera to take another pic (and find a way to share the RAW image file cause I don't know if any browser that supports deep color images). But as far as the s.RGB color space is concerned, there's no blue in that image.
Edit: Pulled the hex values from part of the couch; it is in fact reddish-brown (#3A2F2E), although some might argue that it's reddish-grey.
Vote for brown.
There's nothing blue on that...

When you say you got rid of it, is it for sale? I'm in the market for a blue couch
JD?
Poor couch ๐ฅ
One can also have endless arguments about the color turquoise. Is it rather green, or rather blue? Same as teal I guess.
I had very constructive arguments about this with my grandma :
A couch is for life, not just for Christmas.
The answer to that question is "no".
It's turquoise. You wouldn't argue about whether orange is yellow or red, either.
You can remark on how that orange is closer to red, and how that one is closer to yellow though
