Blur
Hi,
Early on a drab afternoon in January, a dozen third graders from the working-class suburb of Chicago Heights, Ill., burst into the Mac Lab on the ground floor of Washington-McKinley School in a blur of blue pants, blue vests and white shirts.
blur: something that you cannot see clearly.
They burst into the lab room in a blur of blue pants, blue vests and white shirts.
What exactly can't you see clearly here? What does the bold part mean?
I'd appreciate your answer.
