The larval form of coathangers

Why is it that the socks that appeared black when I put them in the cupboard, got them out of the cupboard, and put them on, all done under decent lighting, nonetheless have revealed themselves as I re-tie my shoelace to be very definitely navy blue. Damn you, socks!

I just get so bored of black by the end of winter/spring that I can't bear wearing it on the many days of summer in which the weather requires trousers. I wear black socks happily with my winter navy trousers, but in the summer they seem to bring a whiff of chill with them, hence the navy. Also, in winter I'll mostly be wearing black shoes at work, but in summer they may be a different colour.

I think the lesson is that socks are more complex than one might think!
