CUMBERNAULD, Scotland -- A survey from a Scottish eye care company could be sparking a colour controversy similar to last year's debate over "The Dress."
Optical Express says on its website that it conducted a survey in the United Kingdom asking whether a swatch of a teal-type colour was blue or green. The company says 64 per cent of more than 1,000 people who responded said it was green.
Thirty-two per cent thought it was blue. But when the same people were shown the same colour between a pair of distinctly blue swatches, many changed their minds. Ninety per cent said it was the colour was green.
The company says the experiment shows how "our visual interpretations of the world around us can differ quite sharply."
The debate over the colour of a Scottish woman's dress raged on social media last year.
