8 Things You Thought Were Black and Blue But Were Actually White and Gold

If you haven't heard about this blue/black white/gold dress madness let me fill you in. 

This girl was freaking out about this dress on TUMBLR and posted it trying to figure out if the dress was black or if it was gold. When you look at it you will see it is either a blue dress with black stripes or a gold dress with white stripes. Thats up to your eyes. As much as you want to see black and blue you won't be able to unless your eyes want you too. 

There are a few reasons for this:

1.) The lighting in which you see the dress

2.) Near sighted sees black/blue far sighted sees white/gold

3.) Younger eyes see black/blue older eyes see white/gold

You be the judge...

Anyways, I'm not here to give you the biggest mind trip of the year. I'm here to inform you of items you've seen as black and blue but are actually white and gold. #SorryNotSorry

1. That tattoo you got... hate to break it to you macho man, it's actually white and gold. How elegant of you.

2.  That backpack you thought you sent your little boy to school with. Sorry mom, it was white and gold. No wonder it looked so dirty so fast.

3. That car you just had airbrushed. The accents look great but are white and gold really your colors?

4.Your wedding cake didn’t match your wedding colors… no wonder people were whispering

5. Your scarf was the statement piece of your outfit. What is even more awkward is you were, probably, wearing white after labor day and didn’t even realize it.  Shame shame. 

6. Van Gogh would have been so upset that you painted the black and blue NIGHT sky with white and gold. Surprise its actually called Gold Night not "Starry Night."

7. Let's talk about that eye shadow you wore to prom. Trying to blend those colors perfectly you ended up with a mixture of shimmers and a dress look-a-like on your eyelid.

8.When your printer ran out of black ink so you switched to navy hoping the teacher wouldn’t notice. Only to find out the ink was white and gold and almost impossible to read.

This is the future guys. Welcome to 2015. What a great time to be alive. When we can't figure out if a dress is blue and black or white and gold.
