#THEDRESS

Last night, the Internet became engulfed in a debate over the colour of a photographed  $77 dress. The drama about this dress is that people see it in two different colours, but it is actually white and gold or black and blue?

People all around the world, including celebraties, are wondering about the colour, the Social Media is full with it and it really started a revolution.
I saw this picture in the morning before going to school and I didn't realized what was happening, but later in school my classmates were also showing me this dress, so I realized that EVERYONE has heard about it. In the same way, some of my classmates saw it in white-gold and others blue-black, but I continued seeing it white-gold, so I started to believe that they were kidding.

However, now I know they weren't because there is actually a scientific explanation for it; it all has to do with evolution and the way in which human eyes and brains see and analyze color in daylight. Our eyes are connected to our brains via the optic nerve, which transmits the information about what we're seeing to our brains, but this information must not be always true. Naturally,  We can detect what colour we are seeing, so even if they are a lot of colours in the backround our eyes are pretty good at eliminating these and see the actual coloUr of the focal object, like the dress.

To sum up, the famous dress reveals that daylight can sometimes play tricks on our brains. This make sense, because the colour we see in the picture depends on the time of the day and how light it is in the moment we are seeing it . Due to the fact the photo was taken under bright light, some people brain's get confused and they see it white and gold when it's actually blue and black.
