Everybody is talking about this dress in particular. Scottish musician Caitlin McNeill posted a picture of a dress on micro-blogging website Tumblr with the following text: "guys please help me — is this dress white and gold, or blue and black? Me and my friends can’t agree and we are freaking the f*** out.”. The Internet was also freaking out. BuzzFeed asked its readers "What Colors Are This Dress"? and there is still a lot of debate going on. “Obviously it was blue and black,” says McNeill according to Time. In my case, at first I was pretty sure it was white and gold but I looked at it again later and I saw it clearly: it was blue and black. It's really insane! Wired explains why no one agrees on the colour of this dress. So, what colour do you see?

Todo el mundo está hablando de este vestido en particular. La artista escocesa Caitlin McNeill colgó una fotografía de un vestido en el site de micro-blogging Tumblr con el siguiente texto: "por favor, ayudadme — ¿es este vestido blanco y dorado, o azul y negro? Mis amigos y yo no nos ponemos de acuerdo y nos estamos volviendo locos". Internet tampoco lograba una conclusión clara. El portal Buzzfeed preguntó a sus lectores de qué colores era el vestido y el debate sigue. “Obviamente era azul y negro,” dice McNeill según la revista Time. En mi caso, primero estaba complemante segura de que el vestido era dorado y blanco, pero después lo volví a mirar y lo veía distinto: azul y negro. Así que, es verdaderamente confuso. Wired nos explica por qué nadie coincide en el color del vestido. ¿Y tú, de qué color ves el vestido?

I don't understand this odd dress debate and I feel like it's a trick somehow. I'm confused and scared. PS it's OBVIOUSLY BLUE AND BLACK

What color is that dress? I see white & gold. Kanye sees black & blue, who is color blind?

From this day on, the world will be divided into two people. Blue & black, or white & gold. http://t.co/xJeR7GldwP pic.twitter.com/i6BwVzPzSZ
