"I see green, dark green, bottle green, whatever. Everyone else says black??????

"Really? Think they are messing with me!"

She later returned to the post to add another two pictures of the top, from Nutmeg at Morrisons, from different angles, writing: "Added 2 more photos taken in the day.

"They still say black."

In the comments section on the post, people were largely divided as to what colour the top was.

"Dark green!" one person wrote.

"But my husband said black first, then 'maybe a really really dark green? But like, as close to black as it gets'."

"I see Green too," another wrote. "I have this in my house too. I always see different."

"Probably depends on lighting…" someone else wrote.

"First and this picture like green, second looks darker like black with exception of collar so looks green…so it must be the lighting on it makes it look different.

"You’re not losing your mind!"

"This is how a friend of mine found out he was colour blind, he’d always wear shirts but then said different colours and one day I said he’s colour blind and he never believed me until he joined the army and found out that way," another comment read.

"I see dark green, I sent this photo to my colourblind friend and he said black!"

And someone else weighed in, writing: "I think like other species of animals men can’t see certain shades and colours. I agree it’s a green."

While another added: "My hubby thought green at first and then black.

"My daughter says it's because the brain can't conjure black so it tricks you to see green."
