I’m wearing navy blue tights.
It had been my intention to wear black tights.
Why is the color difference so exquisitely clear under fluorescent lights when they’re completely indistinguishable in both natural light and incandescent lights?
Full spectrum lighting does tend to discover the natural lighting ruse more often than not. Sorry Twicks. My wife has called me on many occasions saying she thought she had on a black set of this or that when she really had Navy…it happens 
I have a pair of dark green pants that I have always thought were black. I bought them to be black pants. Only recently did my wife make an offhand comment that made me realize they were green. :smack:
Viva la difference!
You’re wearing tights? I prefer looses.
A lesson I learned the hard way is to not buy the same pair of shoes in black and dark brown.
Because when you’re getting ready in the morning and your wife is still asleep so you have a minimum of lights on, dark brown and black look identical.
Then, you have to spend the entire 10hrs at work with your feet under your desk so that no one will notice that you can’t properly dress yourself.
Oh, and sudden realization, either Twicks dresses like Robin Hood’s merry men or he is in fact a woman - either of which is news to me.
Dressing in the semi-dark + black pants + navy blue socks = Dork.
My thoughts go with you during this trying time.
The latter.
I forgot to mention in the OP – I am, in fact, wearing black shoes. Which is all that keeps the look from looking semi-intentional, since the skirt is black and navy and teal.
Well, that and the fact that I’m wearing a black turtleneck.
Sigh.
I learned not to send a color-depth blind person to get emergency clothes.
I was out of state visiting a friend for, while going to a job interview. I got up in the morning, and realized my interview pants, (just dockers type) had been soaked in leaking shampoo. I asked the friend to please run to a store and get my some new pants while I took a shower. Now being a really fat guy they are not usually that many pants that are my size. So my orders were, Tan, Black, really dark blue as a last resort. He said he found dark blue pants. Then upon opening the bag to hand to me he looked in and confessed they may not be that dark of blue. :smack:
I went to the interview wearing pants, that were at best Homer-Simpson-pants blue, and closer to Mexican-tuxedo blue. Who in the hell even makes fat guy pants in that color.
Actually that was the last time in my life that I wore anything other than jeans, or shorts.
You’re a sweetheart! 
Did you get the job?
No, the interview went worse and worse, and was just horrible. I blame the pants completely.
I went to a funeral earlier this year wearing the jacket from my black suit with the trousers from my navy-blue suit. :smack: Luckily they are really dark navy-blue!
Dressing in the semi-dark + grogginess + inside-out shirt that you don’t notice 'til you’ve already been at work for two hours and you know that no one has said anything because it’s really, really embarrassing = megadork.
However, colour similarity is why my pants are either khaki, black, or blue denim. Even in the half light of dawn, there is no mistaking them unless you’re still drunk.
Also, I would like a word with the person who invented/adopted the word “khaki.”
