What Color is This Shoe?

What color do you see here- is the shoe gray with teal laces, or is it pink with white laces? People are pretty well split on the answer.

Does it help when you notice there's a hand in the picture, and it's not the right color? Why did she have to apply filters to get the colors to look true? It might be a matter of color consistency. Or it might just be the bad lighting, which is really the same thing. How do people see the first picture as pink and white, when I can only see gray and teal? On the other hand, when I enlarged the photo on Twitter to download it, I saw the pink and white. Aaaagh!

That garbled Latin is what happens when you use the Internet to translate for you. The word "Muse" didn't even get translated. "Ut" doesn't normally mean when. "Vos" shouldn't even have been translated, since it should be part of the verb, and it's plural, which probably wasn't the personal sense he wanted. "Postulo" is first person singular, not second person, and means "demand" more than it does "need". "Suus" is way of, as a reflexive pronoun.

Muse as you I demand his/her own.

Reminds me of those mangled tattoos, especially the one about "nobody but God can judge me". I knew a girl who had that one, and I wondered if she got the garbled one on purpose, but I never asked, to spare her feelings.

lol, jim.

I was here all along, criticizing something else.

You could try:
Musa, ut tibi opus est. (if I'm not mistaken)

Enjoyed the dioramas, though.
