We pass my house when we go on field trips, because, come to find out, I live and work on the exact same street. I always point out my house to the kids sitting near me on the bus. Recently we painted our house blue, but as we drove past on the way to the museum, the Thirdlanders asked, "The purple one?" I ignored it because The Thirdlanders are often off base with their commentary. Then on the way home, I sat with a different crew of Thirdlanders. Pointed out my house again. Again, comments about the purpleness. I started to wonder about this. Is my house actually purple and not blue?
If you're a local reader, drive by sometime, give it a gander. I'm curious to learn what you think. If you're reading from afar, look at the pictures of my house and comment on the color if you want to.

I drive by your house probably 10 times a week. I'm pretty color savvy and I've never seen it as purple. It is definitely blue, in the royal blue range, but maybe a tad darker than royal. I've seen some blue houses popping up all over town. There is another one on your street...I'd call it "blueberry" colored. I'm a big fan of blue.
I think it's most certainly blue.
They probably see the red with the blue and their brain goes to purple. Or, they are just being contrary. It’s blue.
