The story Pink and white or blue and grey (http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/2017/10/15/ok-is-the-shoe-pink-and-white-or-blue-and-grey_a_23244097/?utm_hp_ref=au-homepage).
Hey Photoshop tells me it is more green (slightly) than blue and grey. LuLa still isn't friendly for uploading images or I would have uploaded samples!
Penny for your thoughts,
-
On my professional monitor the outline of the shoe and its laces are a clear cyan, which is more green than blue. The rest of the shoe appears predominantly or approximately grey, but with a lot of chromatic aberrations of very pale magenta and very pale cyan.
Where's my penny? ;D

Since we know that every computer monitor in the world is properly profiled and adjusted, and since every human being has perfect color vision, the shoe, dress, pills, etc., must necessarily look exactly the same to everybody. :o

My eye/brain photon interpreter sees: 1) pale green verging on cyan in some areas; and 2) grey with patches of pink-ish and green-ish in the toe area. This is on my iPad in evening mode (warmer color balance than day mode) under tungsten light.

Nah, IMO anything that encourages people to think about how subjective color perception is is worth posting.

I see a shoe that should be grey, but in the photographic reality, is a mush of pink and cyan with stronger cyan motifs/decorative strips.
-
I read the shoe as pink and the sole greenish. The noise is noticeable.

Hey, I started this post to show that as photographers we should be able to post empirical information on what the colours in the image are. I got distracted in the process.
Grumpy old man,
