“what’s your favorite color and why?

@Katie01
That color you're wearing is actually called "wineberry".

@swirlie that's a shade of red. Not a colour in itself

@Katie01
That is correct. That shade of red in the dress is called "wineberry", not red.

@swirlie all shades of red are red

@Katie01
All shades of red have a distinctive name, not just red.

@swirlie and yet they are all red nonetheless

This just kinda proves the internet will argue over anything 😅 a shade of red is still red in my opinion.. just as a macaroni or penne are still just pasta

@Katie01
No, they're all derivatives of 'red', no different than the color blue is a derivative of the color red.

The color of your dress is 'wineberry', not red.

@Bunnydisaster77
...but nobody asked you for your opinion, right?

@swirlie It’s kind of fascinating how quickly something as simple as color can show how differently we all process truth. No one’s wrong — we just describe the same thing in different ways. I don’t mind what people call it — if red wants to show up as wineberry today, I’ll just be happy it made the effort.
