I'm looking for a black top, needed for something where we must wear black.

it's listed as 'pine', which sounds like dark green to me. But on my screen, it's nothing but black!!

what colour is it on yours?

(I'm also hoping that the shoulders don't have to show through the cut out if you don't want them to...)

it's pine green Grin

MikeUniformMike · 28/06/2018 20:15

It's green. Very dark green.

PickleNeedsAFriendInReading · 28/06/2018 20:21

thank you! I thought it must be. My monitor must just not be showing the colours very well.

Shame, as it's hard to find nice short sleeved black tops!

It's not you. The small square showing the colour is green but it looks black on the model.

Somanyshoes · 28/06/2018 20:28

Agree, on the model, looks like black to me.

Looks black to me.

halfwitpicker · 28/06/2018 20:32

Even if it's meant to be pine green it looks black. Not green.

MikeUniformMike · 28/06/2018 20:38

Until you wear it thinking it will pass as black, then it will look very green.

CountFosco · 28/06/2018 20:39

I can see it's green. And if the colour is wrong and you're sure about the shoulders then maybe look for something else. Lots of websites allow you to search by colour.

PickleNeedsAFriendInReading · 28/06/2018 20:46

I suspect it just looks black to me until I put it up against everyone else's black in a concert, and then it would stand out as being very very green!! Even if I can't see it now. :)
Thanks for everyone's eyes. Glad it's not just my colour perception that's off.

I've been distracted browsing the site by this top for more every day wear. www.phase-eight.com/fcp/product/phase-eight/sale-tops/anneke-floral-print-top/302348931
I like it but I bet it's hard to wash/dry/iron.

I should go back to looking for concert wear. They do have other short sleeved one that says black. Kind of boring, but it might be fine. And might wash well, too, which is important!

Black with a green undertone

Etymology23 · 28/06/2018 20:51

Green, even on the model. Sorry! You can filter by colour on there though if you want. I quite like the look of this one.

I’ve seen this in the shop - it’s dark green

PickleNeedsAFriendInReading · 28/06/2018 21:10

thanks, that other one doesn't have sleeves, which I have to have :( (very hard to find short sleeved, non frumpy tops!). I'm also a 16-18, which limits what might look good.

Thanks, Duchy, actually seeing seems to be the best way to tell. The shops I was in today didn't have anything like that. Looks like it might be nice as a going-out top, though!
