Arguments over the true colour of these stupid flip flops can now cease

Please make it stop.

Yep: it's the infamous dress, all over again.

Literally the same colour scheme and everything.

Over the last few days, pictures of these (clearly white and gold) flip flops (or thongs as they're known in Australia) have been doing the rounds on Twitter.

On Tuesday Havaianas, the makers of the rubber contraptions, finally stepped in to end the debate once and for all.

No one could decide if they were white and gold or blue and navy:

If it's anything like that whole dress saga (which, judging by the fact everyone is seeing the same colour schemes, will turn out to be the case), then the flip flops are definitely navy blue and blue.

Rest your weary and confused retinas, people. A spokesperson for Havaianas told Mashable the rubber shoes are indeed navy blue and blue.
