Today, my boyfriend and I broke up because we got into a fight over what color that confusing black and blue and white and gold dress was. FML

YDI for letting something so trivial become such a huge issue. Priorities, OP.

I can't believe this shit is going viral.

What in the flying **** is wrong with you kids? Hell, what the hell is wrong with half of Facebook getting up in arms over a goddamn dress?? I haven't seen this much controversy over a blue dress since Wild Bill was in office! Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, good riddance your relationship, OP. YDI.

Am I the only one who thinks it's a really ugly dress either way?

I don't understand what there is to fight about, it's about perceptions of color not politics. It's fascinating how so many people see different things, my husband sees blue and black and I see white and gold in blue lighting. It doesn't matter if you see something different, or what color the dress ACTUALLY is, it's just a cool visual phenomenon.

I like to think its the placebo effect messing with people's minds, that and 1 person may see the color red but another may see the same color a pink or rose color, the mind it amazing. But breaking up over something so stupidly childish is astounding, obviously you guys didn't have a very stable or proper relationship to begin with otherwise you both would have agreed to disagree.

Whether or not the OP deserves it depends on whether he's on team black/blue or team white/gold.

I swear I've seen the dress is big colours in Roman... Or is it just a similar dress?

If you see black and blue, your eyes are seeing wrong. It's white and gold with a mild color balance shift. There is literally no way to turn that dress black and blue without ******* the whole image up.

The dress is on Amazon, where it's BLACK AND BLUE.

Having gone looking for the dress again, this time with full white background lighting (only way I can see color is with an intense amount of light, and doing so gives me headaches after a while), I can confirm the colors I see to be blue and red. Then again, I know my color vision is screwy, and I'm able to see really well in the dark. Take the information with that in mind. I see blue and red (I suppose if I toned down my background light, it might be black), but I've got bad color vision and excellent night vision.
