Yeah, this points to "employee is a jerk".
Normal employee: "We have a notebook here. Can you describe it more? Something written on the inside, maybe?"

Maybe the employee wanted a new notebook and was hoping to wait out the lost and found window.
Yes! Fortunately, I did have my name in the back. But I never anticipated that someone would so adamantly think it was some other color. I could understand someone calling it blue, but not "definitely not green".
There's a wall at my parents house which to me always looked green. I referred to it as green and my sister and mother seemed to get downright angry, insisting it was blue. I don't really care either way, it just looks green to me. I can't stop seeing it as green.
If you were to analyze the wavelengths of light the wall, or your notebook, consist of, you'll find a certain amount of blue and a certain amount of green. The thresholds which are detected by our eyes, and the thresholds relative to that where we subjectively determine the dominant color, has high variance.
But people take their subjective perception dead serious, since their perspective is the only one which matters.
