This is not a joke. This is not a prank. This dress is blue and black but some people say it's not.

Buzzfeed even opened a poll to try to get to the bottom of this, and things are looking bad for the side of the sane:

What say you?

It looks brown and blue to me.

[Graham Kennedy]

I don't care.

...but it's blue and black.

[McAvoy]

White and gold originally but now blue and brown now.

[Captain Seafort]

White and gold, although it looks like someone might have put a blue sock in the wash with it.

I can't even escape that f**king dress here.

FWIW, here's the dress under different lighting...

[IanKennedy]

It's #604f31 and #7d87ab which is "a slightly dark gold" and "a slightly dusty blue white". The reason it doesn't look right is that they've got a crap camera with very bad white balance control.

The Beeb explains it.

That's bloody weird.

Tell me about it. The things people latch onto. In other news, pot, I'm the kettle. You're black.
