— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) February 27, 2015Buzzfeed has attempted to get to the bottom of this mystery and found that the dress appears to be white and gold when the blue-toned light in the background is removed. However, when saturation is added and exposure lowered, the dress appears to be conclusively blue and black. Alternate angles and the dress's stock image are heavily in favor of Team Blue and Black. Tech company Adobe has even weighed in on that matter using its color tools to deduce that the dress is blue and black.
