What Colour Are These Shoes: Blue-Grey Or Pink-White? Internet Debates Again

Remember 'The Dress' from 2015? Yes, the gold-white dress (which was actually black-blue) that wrecked friendships, made serious dents in relationships and polarised the internet. Well, it's back to haunt us. And the 2017 avatar of the dress is a humble shoe that's confusing the heck out of people.

Photos of an ordinary looking sneaker are currently the subject of intense debate on the internet as people can't decide whether the shoe is pink-white or grey-blue.

The photo was originally posted in a private group on Facebook and soon made it to Twitter as the debate escalated.

I can see the hue of pink in the shoe a tad when my brightness is all the way up, but the laces stay green.

Gave up? The correct answer is pink and white. The blue and grey was the result of lighting and possible editing as explained in the tweet below and confirmed by scientists too.

The much talked-about dress was one of the biggest moments on social media in 2015. The colour of a tank top and a pair of slippers prompted a similar debate back in July but failed to scale the heights of internet popularity as 'The Dress'.
