Yesterday, this photo of a dress took over the internet and today it has spread to television, radio and general discussion just about anywhere you go. Please excuse the world while we take a break from politics, pop culture, the weather and everything else that was worth talking about before this picture erupted into our lives, because the dress is obviously white and gold. White and gold!? Blue and Black! Do you care? Well pick a side, we’re at war… over a poorly lit, slightly pixilated picture.
Scientists have explained the reasoning behind it, psychologists have weighed in on what your perception says about your mental state, film colorists have discussed the technical side of the photo’s appearance. The dress will live in infamy. Don’t worry, folks. The debate will die out and people will return to the real reason for social media: Taking pictures of our food.
