The wikipedia page details how it was a viral buzzfeed quiz positing the question “what color is this dress?” The wikipedia page also details how the buzzfeed quiz blew up overnight(feb26)- oh, you’re right, I can’t find when they announced the color. It was the next day, feb 27th. I just used google to find the old tweet.
So anyway, the wide world did NOT know the color of the dress from the beginning, it went viral overnight without that context at all. Sorry? I don’t know why you seem to care so much?
On the day of the wedding, Caitlin McNeill, a friend of the bride and groom, performed with her band at the wedding. Even after seeing that the dress was “obviously blue and black” in reality,[3] the musicians remained preoccupied by the photograph. They said they almost failed to make it on stage because they were caught up discussing the dress.
Yeah nothing wider here because some people on Tumblr for a day didn’t know. Not like its still being discussed and studied a decade later.
The wider debate, dawg. When everyone knew the truth, the debate over what color the dress was died or at least started dying. There may have been people who continued debating without that knowledge, and there are certainly people who continued discussing afterwards. The debate can only be one of two things: either it’s the color of the dress or the color of the picture of the dress. The question has TWO objective answers. Most people, again, not knowing the wider context when they entered the conversation, took a position based on what they thought the color of the ACTUAL DRESS was. And when that objective question was answered, everyone stopped caring. You know, the royal everyone. Society at large.
Also… reading comprehension, dawg. NO ONE knew what the color of the dress was when the quiz went viral except for the originators of the image and their real life social circle/community which had been discussing it. The tumblr bit is almost completely irrelevant to what you’re trying to argue.
It was though, the origin got withheld for a day when it went viral but it’s been going viral for years now and the discussion continues so it’s a strange hill to die on. 99% of discussions about this image have occured when the physical dresses colours were known.

Thank you for continue to demonstrate your lack of critical thinking.
You’re welcome! Thank you for disregarding facts because they don’t align with your narrative!
What facts
The fact that the real color wasn’t widespread knowledge from the get go. 🥱🥱
It was though, the origin got withheld for a day when it went viral but it’s been going viral for years now and the discussion continues so it’s a strange hill to die on. 99% of discussions about this image have occured when the physical dresses colours were known.
Debate vs discussion semantics.
Debate regards the color.
Discussion regards the overall cultural effect, studies in neuroscience, etc
