We all remember exactly where we were the moment we first discovered #TheDress. If you've forgotten (although we don't see how you could), in early 2015, a picture of a dress appeared on Tumblr before making its way quickly across all social media after users couldn't decide if it was blue and black or white and gold. It pretty much changed every time you looked at it, and now the same thing is happening to twitter user @whyofcorso, who posted a photo of her new allegedly blue Kate Spade purse.

Almost immediately, people began responding and debating the bag's color.

@whyofcorso, who sees the bag IRL, adamantly insists it's blue ("Mystic Blue," specifically), while most people on the internet see white. Another photo of the same purse shows it in a much different light, suggesting this confusion might have everything to do with the exposure of the picture.

Luckily, this time around, the difference in what people see is not as intense, and with @whyofcorso's confirmation, it looks like the answer is clear: the purse is blue. However, that won't stop the internet from debating it for at least the next few weeks. Luckily, it looks good no matter what color it is, so @whyofcorso is pretty ready for this issue to come to an end:
I 100% don't care if you think my bag is 100% white or 100% blue. Please stop @-ing me.
