Temporary, I hope, Color Blindness

Yesterday, I went to lunch with friends, as we were waiting for a table, my friend asked, Why are you wearing navy pants

with a black top?" I had looked at the pants all morning I

I thought they were black. When she said it I saw they were navy. Because I respect the knowledge, and wisdom of this forum, I am asking anyone ever have this happen?

Guilty! Didn't know it until I got to work. They looked black at home. Now I double check everything under every light in the house. LOL

Sometimes it's the lighting of a room that can make really dark navy look like black.

Before I had cataract surgery I saw blue as black. I had a lot of distortion of colors. Now I see everything as it should be.

Personally, I would schedule an opthomologist appointment at your earliest convenience to put your fears to rest.

Good luck!

Nothing to worry about! The fashion hosts tell us navy and black is the new perfect combination......you're right on trend!!

@Miranda1550 ... Also, sometimes the manufacturers make the navy so dark, it's almost impossible to tell if it is navy or black. I've actually taken things outside in the sun so that I could see what color it actually was.

What bothers me, is that I was looking at the pants outside, and, in the car, they looked black until my friend told me I know in the house those colors are tricky.

I wear those colors together.

@Miranda1550 I don't know if this applies to your current situation but many years ago I was under a ton of stress and working long hours. I have always been one of those people that lay their clothes out the night before to take some of the hectic out of the morning. I had been at work (under bright florescent lighting) for over half the day when I realized my top was olive and the rest of my outfit was grey. Ooops.

When I mentioned it in the meeting I was in everybody giggled and said they were surprised as normally I was always so put together (hence me laying my clothes out the night before). If you have a lot going on right now it may explain why you didn't notice it earlier (and to be honest black and navy are beyond tough to distinguish on the best of days).

I don't have a clue as to why OP couldn't tell the difference but I've never heard that failure to distubquish dark navy from black called color blindness. In fact, I can't think of a single female friend or relative who has color bindness!

Sometimes when I'm having difficulty, I turn the garment insude out and look at the thread and also at any other fixings on the pants - zippers, buttons. But mostly, I don't care all that much - dark navy and black are fine together.
