It’s strange how the picture of a dress would raise so much chaos on social media. Should we say the argument over the colour of this dress is about to break the internet, even more than Kim Kardashian’s nude pictures? Well, we are still watching out for the conclusion on that.
Swiked, a Tumblr user posted a picture of a dress on Wednesday and asked for help from people to decide if the colour is white, gold, black and blue. Though we don’t know how come the col0ur of a dress is causing to much storm across the world as Hollywood celebrities have joined the discussion.
We keep wondering if this picture won’t create a social media war because the debate has gone really viral. As a result of the debate, Twitter users have also made ‘white and gold’ the top-trending topic while #thedress has also been trending.
According to a report by the Mirror, ‘Buzzfeed spoke to a post-production supervisor in Los Angeles who theorizes the picture was taken with a camera in poor lighting. That casts the whites in a blue tone and mutes the gold to a darker colour. The production supervisor says people who see blue and black are seeing the photo at face value. People who see gold and white are compensating to the photo’s lighting and aesthetic.’
We really do not know what the fuss is about but, we would like to leave this to you our esteemed readers to decide what you see.
However, there has been several funny memes going around about the dress focusing on the colour debate and we think it’s really so funny we want to share with you.
