Picking up his Roku remote, Chris Angelis spoke quickly, looking directly into the camera.
“This is a purple remote, this remote is purple,” Angelis said.
He then picked up the back panel of the remote and held it up to the light, where it appeared to be a translucent purple.
“It looks black, no, it’s purple!” he exclaimed.
Angelis tagged Roku in a caption on TikTok, demanding an explanation from the company and stating, “I WAS SCAMMED.”
But he also realized that he might be the last person to notice: “wait, I’m the only one who didn’t know this,” Angelis wrote.
Angelis isn’t the only person who didn’t realize the remotes were actually purple, but some commenters mocked her discovery.
“This is how light/color works,” explained one exasperated commenter.
“Black is made with blue, it will look purple.”
Other viewers ran to get their remote controls and see if the seemingly black controls were actually different colors.
“I immediately grabbed mine next to me and checked. It’s purple!” wrote one viewer.
“I was convinced mine wasn’t until I put it directly on top of the lamp. IT’S PURPLE,” another person said.
“Mine is black, I just checked that it’s not transparent either,” said one viewer, while several commenters countered that the same was the case with their remote controls.
For those who discovered that their remotes were purple, the discovery came as a shock.
“My life is a LIE,” wrote one viewer.
What color do you see on your remote control? Black or purple?
