What?

So I found a couch I really like that was this dark browny-suede color. I like. I buy. Saleslady rings me up.

Me: Oh wait. The receipt says Sage Green.

SL: Yes, that's the color of the couch.

Me: *blink* But the couch is brown.

SL: Well, that's the color of the couch.

Me: You're sure, you know, because of its browness?

SL: *checks tags* Yep, the floor model is "Sage Green."

Me: Brooooown!

SL: I guess it *is* a really dark Sage Green.

They're going to show up at my door with a green couch, aren't they? I'm taking a friend with me back to the store this week to determine if I'm losing my mind. Or have gone color blind.

ETA: According to an online (and therefore highly accurate) test, I am not color blind. Woo!

...maybe the floor model is faded? Or the sales lady is stupid...

It wasn't faded, but was a very dark, and in my mind, a brown-tone color. When I think of sage, I think of this:

But the couch was more the color of these boots:
