And if it’s on Facebook, it must be official.
The majority of Facebook users saw The Dress as white and gold not black and blue, according to an analysis of posts on the site.
Two of the website’s data scientists wrote in a blog post on Friday that they analyzed posts from people in the U.S. that mentioned the dress, and crunched the numbers to figure out which of their users saw which color combo.
Overall, 58% of Facebook users saw white and gold and 42% saw black and blue.
The data scientists also broke the stats down by a couple of different factors, which they illustrated in charts.
Gender:
Facebook said it started by analyzing the gender split, since men are much more likely to be colorblind than women.
According to the data, men were 6% more likely to see the dress as black and blue.
