Yes, standing in my basement looking at the picture on my phone and the doors at the same time, there’s a difference. But this morning when I showed my gf the picture she insisted they were green doors.
I’ve started needing glasses for reading recently (I’m old) and was seriously worried for a bit.
And now you both absolutely need to watch Sorry to Bother You.
Did you look Behind the Green Door?
Heh, I remember that!
Here is what I see. The first and third panels are light tan. The other three are beige. Not a hint of green to me. The bag on the left is yellow with a hint of green.
I see cream or a pale yellow.
Yeah, this. A good idea for anyone wanting opinions on a color in a photo is to include (if no charts or calibrated cards are ready-to-hand) some objects with fairly well-known colors in the same photo. An orange, or perhaps packaging of familiar-brand food items.
(I’d have said ‘almond’ for the doors.)
A post was merged into an existing topic: Different Strokes. Why did Arnold and Willis and their Mom live in the ghetto?
It’s literally closer to orange than to green.
Yup.
First glance I thought ivory but zooming in with only the off white Macys bag to compare to and very much pea green.
I’m with everyone else that says it’s a shade of light brown, like beige. I can see it being something like a banana yellow that’s faded with time, but I would never have thought green.
This is not a great way to determine color because of lighting effects, but just for the heck of it, I sampled some pixels from various parts of the doors. Generally red and green are close to each other (with slightly more red) and blue is less, which indicates a yellowish-gray tone:

B9A985

Cream
The Macy’s bag is ivory (which you can see by comparison with the white bag to the left). The doors are tan/beige/etc.
Unh, I’m more sensitive to green than most peoples. I see a slightly greenish beige, but the vagaries of cameras, lighting, wall and ceiling hues, and LED screens make an authoritative answer impossible.
I don’t see the dress.
Just seeing this now, but i am completely in agreement with:
I read all these people saying “beige” and “cream” and thought, “no, no, it’s greener than that!”
That being said, i wouldn’t have called them “green doors”, because it’s only a little yellowish green. It’s not a robust green, which is what I’d expect for calling something “green”.
Also,
I probably am tetrachomatic. My brother is red-green color-blind, and it’s the same gene. So a priori my odds are 50/50, and until i started developing cataracts, i had really excellent color vision.
And also
This. Whatever it is, it’s subtle, and monitors actually vary quite a lot in how they display color.
Block the yellow bag. Compare the doors to the other two. You’ll see the green. Close your eyes 10 seconds after looking at the yellow bag. Yellow can change your perspective of other colors.
Think about yellow and black paired to yellow and purple paired. It’s completely different color altho’ it may be the same exact color swatch.
I was going to say khaki. I could go with beige, pale olive, old gold, several other hues that lie between yellow and green with a bit of grey and brown stirred in.
What are the competing positions in the bet that’s being settled? (I shall now read the thread, to see if additional information changes my take on it)
ETA: yeah, there’s a tinge of green, but if someone sent me in search of “the green doors” I wouldn’t see these and go “aha, here they are”.
