What color are these bluchers?

[Kirsanov]

So I came across these bluchers which are from the main store. The website claims they are black-dark grey, but I swear there is a hint of navy in there. Am I seeing something that isn't there? If you see the hint of navy/blue too, then I will probably purchase them. Only one pair left in my size. I've found the pictures that Barney's and its outlet post are quite accurate.

You can't always judge color based on a product photo on the web. Depending on the lighting used to take the photo and white balance settings you can often get hues that are not really there.

I see the blue hue in them as well, but to be on the safe side, I'd recommend calling the shop and asking them to give you their take after a glance at the actual shoe (insist on them not just reading what their website states).

Black is not a colour, neither is white, it is merely the extreme darkest shade of a number of other colours. The odds are that with a pair of shoes it will be brown or blue based rather than grey.
Thank you for introducing me to a new word, I have never heard of "Bluchers" and would have called them Oxfords.

I am not sure if you are joking or actually did not know the difference. However, just in case you did not know.

Bluchers: open lace system
Oxfords: close lace system.

All advice when sincerely meant is treated as helpful.
Then again the USA has its own version of the English language which doesn't always tally with the real one
