LOOK HUE IT IS

It tweeted: “Britons will once again be able to travel with a blue passport when the iconic colour returns for the first time in almost 30 years.”
But Brits are undecided about what colour it actually is.
The video - which has been viewed more than 2.5million times - attracted scores of comments but no one thinks it is blue.
Michael Cleary said: “That’s black bruh.”
Another - called Robert - said: “That passport is green.”
Louise Brooks added: “Blue?”
Angela Koch said: “People. It’s black. Not blue.” John Farebrother said: “It’s not even blue, it's black.”
Emma said: “That’s black though right?” Another said: “Also this is black not blue.”
The debate is similar to the online row over “The Dress” photo which went viral five years ago.
The snap - which originally appeared on Tumblr - ended up prompting 10million tweets over where the garment was black and blue or while and gold.
