TikToker im.krispy finds out she’s colorblind after viral blue chair debate

TikToker im.krispy went viral after learning she might be colorblind when viewers said her blue chair looked grey.

A TikTok creator known as im.krispy went viral in early June 2025 after a surprising realization: she might be colorblind.

The content creator, Kristin, had posted a video about giving away her “blue” chair on Facebook Marketplace to someone in need. However, confusion began when the potential buyer responded, saying the chair looked grey instead.

In the viral TikTok clip, Kristin asked, “Is this chair grey or blue?” and showed both the chair and her matching couch. This sparked an online debate with over 133,000 comments, and most viewers agreed the chair was clearly grey, not blue.

One user commented, “It’s not only gray, it’s very freaking gray.” Another wrote, “Was I just gaslit into expecting a blue chair only to see it’s gray?”

The strong reaction pushed Kristin to take an online color blind test. The results suggested she may have protan color blindness, a type of red-green deficiency that affects how red tones are seen. Kristin shared her results in a follow-up video and said she plans to visit an eye doctor for a professional diagnosis.

As the video gained more attention, Wayfair offered to send her the actual blue chair and couch she originally thought she had.

Kristin’s unexpected discovery has not only made her question how she sees colors but also sparked wider discussions about color perception, TikTok trends, and online optical illusions.
