A consensus seemed to form around the suit being dark brown but appearing navy blue in some lighting, Business Insider added.
The social media frenzy was compared to that surrounding#TheDress, last year’s viral sensation that drew disagreements over whether it was blue and black or white and gold, according to CBS.
