Not again…

It’s been three months since The Dress gripped the internet and plunged it into the depths of confusion and self doubt and while most have probably forgotten all about it at this stage, there’s a new optical illusion that’s making people scratch their heads.

The clip above was uploaded to YouTube this week, 24-year-old Sabrina Abu-Obeid, from Melbourne, Florida, and it features Sabrina showing off her new hair dye to her boyfriend.

According to Metro, Sabrina had initially dyed her hair lilac, but when she went into the kitchen to show her boyfriend it changed to blue.

People are asking whether her hair is ‘blue, purple, violet or pink?’ and one of the best answers we’ve seen so far has been ‘blue and gold’. Brilliant…

So what do you think? Answers on a postcard…
