[QUOTE="Paranormalis, post: 99631, member: 2585"] Nothing like a natural scientific phenomenon to get the Internet and social media worked into an all-out frenzy. The mysterious dress that might be white and gold or might be black and violet depending on your eyes, or even what time you look at it, has friends everywhere flabbergasted while outright calling those around them liars when they seem to see the opposite right there in each other’s face.

Black and violet? White and gold? Check back later and your answer might be different. So, what color is the dress? Well, the answer is a lot more interesting than you might think. It turns out that it has to do with the way our eyes adjust to light and process information, especially with the retina and cones. Below, you will see explanations of the science behind this, as well as one post that is going around that claims to be the actual starter of the experiment.
