FEW conflicts online have had as lasting an impact as The Dress, an optical illusion seen by some as black and blue and by others as white and gold.
The phenomenon is back and better than ever thanks to a confusing image showing a series of drawers painted white and pink, or are they gray and blue?

Reddit user agamiegamer posted the image online and asked viewers what color scheme they were looking at.
“Pink and white or blue and grey?” asked the user in the post’s caption.
Comments were immediately flooded with other Reddit users discussing the color scheme of the painted furniture.
Some people have even had a fight with their families and friends in real life.
“Honestly I’m not kidding. Immediately I see pink and white and my boyfriend next to me says it’s gray and mint,” one user wrote.
Responses were split between the two color schemes, with the occasional commenter saying that the dresser even looked like charcoal or lime green.
Several users tried to analyze the lighting in the photo to find out the truth.
“If you think daylight is hitting it, it looks white and pink,” one person said.
“If you think the pink light shines on it (like the top frame), then it looks gray and mint.”
“Warm ambient light wouldn’t produce that very white drawer color, so my eyes tell me it has to be bluish based on experience,” says another. “I think the colors will be dirty pink/purple and baby blue.”
One user noted that a bright white glow on top of the dresser indicated that the camera flash had hit the furniture.
“There is no reason to believe that white balance based on background elements will result in ‘correct’ color,” they explained.
And more than one Reddit user begged the original poster to spare them another lengthy discussion.
“NO. NO MORE CIVILIZATION KILLS COLORED PUZZLES,” wrote one person in all caps.
“Not this shit again,” another complained.
Some gently arranged their messy room poster.
“I see pink and mint green,” they said. “I also see a dirty dresser that needs cleaning!”
Finally, the original poster returned to the comments section for the big reveal.
“ANSWER: It was painted gray and blue,” they admitted.
Even after the user came clean, some jokingly refused to accept the truth.
“Are you sure? Is this in your house? Do you have a photo with better lighting? It’s really hard for me to believe that it’s not pink and white,” the commenter joked.
What color scheme do you see in the picture? Can you convince your brain to see both?
