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:

It looks brown and blue to me.

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

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.

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