A Plea for Arbitration

Okay, to be fair I must reblog this. Tell me if you agree with me! And tell my colorblind friend as well.

Some of you know that my bff is Judy/Remi, therefore we must sometimes disagree. Tonight she responded to this prompt to post photos showing the color eggplant:1024x768-eggplant-solid-color-background I suggested (well, strongly recommended) that she include the photo below in her post, but she declined (well, refused), because she says my t-shirt is maroon and oh-so-not eggplant. My eyes disagree. So, I put it to you, gentle observant occasional readers: does this photo show me wearing an eggplant-colored t-shirt (as I search for that damned buzzing fly)? Yea or nay?

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    For what it’s worth, I would not call the t-shirt maroon but plum. The t-shirt does not seem to be aubergine, french plum or even eggplant. Which too is an odd colour for it’s shine has different colours within the same fruit. In general, I would agree with the colour squared above, as being aubergine. Or French Plum. Or Eggplant. Look at it this way? Computers all have varying differences within colour palettes. Call it eggplant, for the colour may well be within, that most delicious fruit and please be happy! There are no winners here. I like mine within Moussaka. Vegetarian moussaka. Mmmmm

        Ummm … thanks for both replies. I am honoured to be accepted as arbitrator. Peace is definitely good.

        I make my own moussaka, when the mood hits. It takes a while to complete. The real key, of course is the sauce. Called bechamel. Although with goat’s cheese in it, not so sure? Anyway the lemony tang of the sauce, just yummy. As a vegetarian, I tend to stay clear of restaurant foods. For you never know what pollution happens.

    I’m far more concerned with those shorts, insofar as only a sail of white atop would render the visage more suited to such a regal sloop. Of course, that maroon shirt may well camouflage any buzzing-fly carnage-to-come, so, what do I know? 😉

    at first glace I might say eggplant but as I stare more at it and compare the two I say the shirt is not eggplant. I have a husband color blind in both sets of colors. I know that eyes see differently in shades. I bet if you put many colors side by side there would be difference in each one of them.

    It IS eggplant, at least according to my monitor. Now ‘eggplant’ to ME? Is a series of differing shades of, well, EGGPLANT colour. You’ll see what I mean by that if you peruse my post I did for the CYW challenge the other day. Those eggplants in the basket aren’t one uniform shade… This gentleman’s shirt is a variation of eggplant. So there. 😉

      Now I’m hungry!!! Shame on you. Your limes are definitely LIME as well. I couldn’t find any way to “Like” your posts or comment, though. What am I missing?
