We know the truth.

A Facebook Group with over 98,000 members called Girlsmouth has unwittingly unleashed #dressgate 2.0.

One of the users shared a photo of a trainer and asked members to tell her whether they thought the shoe was blue and grey or pink and white.

She said: “My friend has just sent me this asking what colour the shoe is, I would say pale pink and white, but she insists its pale blue and grey.”

When she opened it up to the floor, comments flooded the thread.

Within the space of an hour, the post had gained 1,000 comments and caused a serious debate.

Then someone took the debate to Twitter.

Oh ffs. I started seeing mint & grey and now I see pink & white and now I'm stressed and I hate everything and everyone. SCREW YOU TRAINERS! pic.twitter.com/yyO0AzIx5b

It appears most believe the trainer is blue and grey, but a significant number swear it’s pink and white.

What is this conspiracy, anyone who’s saying them trainers are pink are on the wind up 😭😭😭

Grey and mint. But if this is taken in Laser Quest they are pink and white.

Some are claiming they can see both.

I’ve seen them as both but I can’t unsee the pink and white

If you’re too confused to make up your mind, maybe follow this Twitter user’s suggestion.

Wear them in a muddy field, then you will have brown to add to the colour. :-)

If the debate between your friends is getting too heated we’ve found the one true answer.

HuffPost UK reporter Jessica Pitocchi solved the mystery with a bit of online shopping:

The shoe is clearly a Vans. Vans only sell that shoe in pink and white. No grey and aqua. Who has aqua soles of a shoe? Case closed. pic.twitter.com/toFY4Vf4Cq
