#1 Back in 2015, the infamous 'dress' divided internet users,

who simply could not agree over whether it was black and blue or gold and white - with even Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift joining in on the debate.

#2 One year later, the Adidas jacket did the same,

with people saying that they saw numerous colour combinations, including blue and white, green and gold, black and brown, and green and brown.

#3 And now, there's a new colour spectrum illusion frustrating the nation,

proving again that our perceptions of colour can be very different from each other. According to the Daily Mail, there is a massive divide over whether or not the colour in question is green or blue.

#4 Check it out:

What do you think?

Well if you said you believe it is green then you are in agreement with the majority of those surveyed by Optical Express.

64 per cent of those questioned said green, and just 32 per cent were reported to think blue.

#5 The numbers changed dramatically when compared next to other shades of blue though.

When looking at the same colour in this chart 90 per cent of those surveyed said green.

And those people would technically be right as on the RGB colour spectrum its values are 0, 122 and 116 yeah, me either.

So once more it is proven that we all see colour differently but I imagine if people weren't instructed to identify it as either green or blue they probably would have opted for teal, turquoise, or ‘sea green' which I am reliably informed is a thing

#11 The test then surprises the quiz taker by throwing out a completely different question: 'Name one city in the USA.'

So what did you say?

According to the creators of the quiz, 92 per cent of people answer New York under pressure.

But if you're one of the few people that named a different city, it shows you've got a creative and innovative mind.

They say that the ability to quickly come up with associations is very much connected with the particular type of thinking one has.
