Default What colour do these look to you?

After an argument with an eBay seller, what colour do these boots look to you?

Off white, or silvery white

My monitor isnt the best though, and photos can be very very deceptive of colour

I bought some seats from here thinking they were genuine alcantara seats as they come from an Sti., however when they arrived they were identical cloth seats I already had

However the photos I saw made them clearly look like alcantara, the camera and lighting is everything with things like this, in hindsight with me I should have asked the seller if they were alcantara before I purchased them

Thankfully the seller took them back and turned out to be a credit to SN for sale section as we both saw how the error occurred

Id call them white if I was being a man, others will come out with something gay like "Off white, or silvery white"

Incidentally the seller doesn't seem to specify colour in the listing?

The laces and some of the sides are pure white, if a flash has been used on the boots then they may look lighter than what they are

The listing doesnt state the colour though, but if it was me listing them I would say girly gay off white

To be honest, I think its fairy deceitful. I bought them thinking that they are white as they look, he swears blind that they are tan in the pic, which they are in real life.

When you see them, the laces are pure white and the boot is very much a tan colour, certainly not white or even off white.

To be fair, I photographed them and they look whitish though.

I guess I'll have to bear the cost of the postage both ways and chalk it down to experience.

At least I know I'm not colourblind/mad thinking they are white.

Tan?

As in a shade of brown?

No. Off white, silver, light grey.

The auction doesn't state a colour. If your going down paypal I'm not sure how you'll get on. Paypal don't like getting involved regarding condition. Only if it doesn't arrive.
