First there was the dress, and now nobody can decide what colour this man’s shirt really is
A first edition of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone could have an estimated value of £50,000
ONE year ago, the internet went into meltdown and friends turned against each other in an argument over a blue and black dress.
Which could also look white and gold, or even blue and gold, depending on your eyes.
Now there’s a new online controversy to rival ‘the dress’, one man’s plaid shirt which appears to change colour and pattern under flashing lights in a bar or night club.
A short clip of the colour-changing shirt was uploaded to , and has since been viewed more than 2.8 million times.
And the optical illusion has everyone scratching their heads.

Random Imgurian joked: “It’s the dress all over again.”
While Stop Seriously asked: “Can someone science the actual colour of this shirt for us?”
Sky Ever Last said: “I was 90 per cent sure this shirt was green at first, but after watching for several minutes I’m now 100 per cent sure I’m having a seizure.”
And Marlena Watches added: “This is actually causing me physical pain, just WHAT??”
No This Is Patrick bravely guessed at the shirt’s actual colour, saying: “I wanna say it’s actually red and black based on the tone of his skin under the same lighting that makes it appear red and black.”
In just a number of seconds, the shirt changes from green to red to light blue, dark blue and combinations of the different colours.
And nobody can tell what colour it really is. Just don’t stare for too long – or it will probably give you a headache.
