I had very constructive arguments about this with my grandma :

  • Can you fetch one the green tiles ?
  • What green tile ? You only have blue ones.
  • Goes to fetch it herself. See ? A tile, and it's green.
  • But it's clearly blue...
  • I don't know what you mean, can't you see that it's green ?
  • I can see very clearly that it's blue.
  • No this is green, this is blue, and the tile is closest to green.
  • It isn't though, it's definitely closest to blue.
  • A while later
  • This is pointless... Let's just call it turquoise.
  • Turquoise it is.
  • The next time
  • Your new oven mittens are quite nice, the blue goes well in your kitchen.
  • They are green...
