Here we go again!
You can remember last year’s fiasco of a dress that trended on Twitter and other social media platforms since people could not agree on the colour of the dress. It became such a huge deal since some people said it was black and blue while others said it was white and gold
Well now we have another debate and it is about a handbag’s colour.
Oh yeah…here is the handbag (she deleted the original tweet)

She decided to share her new bag which she seemed to be quite proud off only to start a conversation about the colour of the bag.
It started by this person who said it looks white
@whyofcorso White. Daring.

Her reply was baffling since she replied saying that it was actually blue in colour
@Mr_Bingo_Little it's blue
— c o r s o (@whyofcorso) October 4, 2016
…and the comments started pouring in where some appeared to be shocked by her reply
Someone thought it was dove grey (first time hearing this)
@LapissedLazuli @whyofcorso It's dove grey

This guy thought his monitor was faulty.
@whyofcorso My work monitor needs some color adjusting, it would seem

This guy tried to make sense of the situation by zooming on the picture
@whyofcorso wait when I zoomed in it looks blue ish

But others brought the big guns and used “science” to know the colour of the bag
@whyofcorso IT'S BLUE EVERYBODY DAMMIT pic.twitter.com/g3oFFnIoNj

A more precise shade of blue was quickly determined.
@whyofcorso everyone shut up, according to this chart it's "Alice Blue" pic.twitter.com/iWyaTtB3c7

Quite a number of the responders still insisted that the bag was white
@whyofcorso 100% white.

@whyofcorso it appears to be white.

It seems like the perception of colour between humans is becoming an interesting problem. lt could be due to the colour accuracy of the screen of your equipment but it could also due to how you see colour. The previous saga of the blue dress even prompted researchers to write a paper about it where they found out that it is due to how our brains interpret the various wavelengths of light.
its white
