The random dress as you can see above has got Buzzfeed and Gawker talking about it. Why? As bizarre as it may sound, people are going insane trying to figure out the dress’ color. Some people claim it is white and gold while some say it is blue and gold.
The dress no longer looks gold and white to me, wtf it now looks blue and black

Buzzfeed even made a poll just to settle the issue:
We don’t really know if it’s optical illusion that’s confusing our eyes or if it is color blindness. Whatever it is, science has got a lot of explaining to do. This mid morning, the Business Insider attempted to explain the mystery by using Photoshop, a program that should not be susceptible to variations in genetics or eye strength and claimed that it's blue and black and white and gold at the same time.
