The Dress that broke the Internet

[fmccaddy12]

I mentioned it, go wild.
For those who don't understand this, a picture emerged fairly recently of a dress that can now be bought online for $77 dollars. It's reported that the photo was taken in some not so fair lighting, and has started an internet wide debate of whether the dress looks gold and white, or black and blue. This most likely could be the result of colors bending due to the poor lighting.

{The dress in question}

What is your opinion about this fiasco? Is the dress white, is the dress blue, is this the result of Tumblr being Tumblr (probably)?

why

I see blue and black most of the time, but I can also see gold (have yet to really see white though). This is the most reasonable explanation for it I've found (spoiler'd because the image is kinda big):

I think this'll be the trigger of World War 3.
Blue and Black for me.

Gold and blu-ish grey at straight on view. If tilt by screen a bit I'll see the supposed blue, black (lower down the screen) or white, gold (higher up the screen).

The actual dress itself is blue and black - it's to do with how our brain processes colours. If you think the dress is in a shadow it's white and gold. If you think it's in light it's blue and black.

I can word sorry

I absolutely cannot see it as anything other than blue and black, no matter how many times I lookk, no matter how hard I try...... its like those damn magic eye puzzles I could never see..... *shakes fist at dress*

The very first time I saw it it was White and Gold, but everytime afterwards it's Blue and Black...wait, why are we talking about this again?
