On February 26, 2015 , a Scottish musician posted a photo of a dress on Tumblr .

Within 24 hours , the two -toned garment had become a worldwide internet sensation.

Millions of social media commentators were divided on its true colors was it gold and white or black and blue? Celebrities including Kanye West , Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift even waded in on the viral phenomenon.

Now, 10 years later , the British sensation is still stirring fresh debate, with many social media users still fighting their corner.

Different people will see different shades based on 'cones' light-sensing cells in the retina.

In people with a colour impairment or colour blindness, some types of cones are missing or inactive.

This means there will be regions of the visible light spectrum that your eyes are unable to register.

Experts stress that there might not be a definitive answer to these illusions.
