#TheDress that launched a thousand MEMES
MANILA, Philippines - If you haven't opened your social media accounts for the last few hours, you probably could not relate to this.
But just to give you a quick rundown, this is about the dress that caught fire over the Internet because people cannot decide whether it is blue and black or gold and white that they are seeing.
RELATED: What is the color of this dress?!
Just so you could sleep well later, some websites and experts have attempted to explain why this color madness is happening.

Verge says:
Science explains that our eyes have more difficulty seeing blue light than warmer colors, and that low light situations can make us see things in different shades
Buzzfeed says:
Your eyes, trying to compensate for poor lighting, are playing tricks on you.
TIME says:
The actual physiology of your eye might come into play with how you perceive the dress.
But, this is the EASIEST explanation we could give you.
