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**k out.

The debate over whether the dress is black and blue OR white and gold has sent the internet into turmoil. Really.

Some people are seeing black. Some people are seeing gold. A special few people see both.

Poll Results:

White and gold (2929)
Blue and black (1304)
