Woman Asks What Color Her Chair Is, The Responses Don’t Disappoint

A woman in need of help has turned to the internet to ask what color people think her chair is, and the responses do not disappoint.

TikTok user Kristin (@im.krispy) posted a video in June explaining that she’s giving away a chair that she described as blue, but the person interested in buying it thinks it’s gray. During the clip, Kristin jokes that the person is “gaslighting” her into thinking it could actually be gray after all.

So, she came up with the only reasonable solution to solve the problem—she asked social media for their thoughts.

Anyone watching the TikTok video might have expected the camera to show a bluish-gray chair that could perhaps fit into either category depending on the lighting. Many might have thought it would be a repeat of the 2015 viral phenomenon of the blue or black dress that was hugely controversial at the time.

But what they certainly weren’t expecting, however, was a simple gray chair that didn’t appear to have any discernible blue tones.

As Kristin showed the chair in the clip, she said “it’s definitely blue,” but even she started to question her judgement.

In the days since the video was posted online, it has taken the internet by storm with over 18.3 million views and more than 1.1 million likes on TikTok at the time of writing.

Needless to say, social media users have many thoughts on what color the chair really is—and the answer isn’t blue. This has led to more than 1124,800 comments on the initial TikTok video so far.

One comment on the post reads: “Your graydar is off hunny. It’s gray.”

Another TikTok user wrote: “I thought you were gonna flip the camera and show us the most ambiguous shade of periwinkle ever…Baby that’s gray straight out the crayola box.”

Another person joked: “I wasn’t expecting it to be the Oxford Dictionary definition of gray.”

“I wasn’t prepared for how gray it would be,” reads another comment.

While one social media user added: “Girl please, what else do you think is blue in your apartment? For science, we need to know.”

The online reaction to the blue vs. gray debate has captured plenty of attention online, as internet users can’t cope with Kristin’s realization that maybe she doesn’t know her colors as well as she thought.

While she thought she was adding plenty of color to her home, many have suggested that she actually lives in a millennial gray home.

Following the seemingly unanimous decision online, Kristin has continued to post more videos online showing herself laughing at the “13K people telling you it’s grey.” Indeed, it’s even made her realize that the chair might not be the only piece of furniture in her home that’s gray. Now, she’s questioning the sofa that she always thought was blue.
