    Whatever the setting is, it appears to be bathed in bright sunlight. That's the important part.

    The front of it presumably is. But the back, that we're looking at, seems to be in shade.

      Ok is this post some sort of trick? I opened up lemmy, saw it white and gold for the first time in my life, then I took a shower, now it is blue and black once more.

          This person doesn't understand pixels lol. You picked one pixel. Pick 100 of them and average them. It's in the white spectrum with a slight shade of blue hue. If you look at it on the color wheel, it's well within white segment slightly towards the blue. When you zoom out of single pixels, it's white that you get under cool white light. It's still considered white.

          As for gold, computer screens do not display gold in specular way how you see it with eyes.When you pick pixels, they will be in range of brown. Again, you don't seem to underetand pixels. And ultimately, this is suppose to be black, remember? Where's the black?

          The "after" photos of a dress show dark blue with black lace details because it was not captured in bullshit lighting. Where is that on the picked pixels? Just like years ago we are once again arguing over bullshit doctored/manipulated/bad photo of a dress arguing what color it is. It's beyond stupid and I can't believe people are still this dumb to argue about colors that aren't even there. I don't care how dress actually looks, you showed me the photo of it and you're asking me how the dress looks like on the photo, not in reality. The rest is within the color picker which is mathematical representation of colors that doesn't give a shit how eyes work. And it picks very faint blue and brown (thats perceived by eyes as white and gold). Not dark blue and black.

          You are absolutely right. How most people don't seem to get this fact is beyond me.

            Look at the background. The lighting is a warm yellow. This shifts blue to white and black to gold.

              Show me the white here. I thought gold was like a yellow orange, not a brown-grey color

                  I'm the exact opposite. When somebody first showed me the picture, I thought "is this some kind of trick question? It's obviously black and blue". And still to this day, after many arguments with (friends and family) as what I can only perceive as stubborn defensiveness, I can still only ever perceive it as black and blue.

                  I literally cannot override my color perception to trick myself into seeing white and gold and it feels like a mistake a lot of people made (to see white and gold) and then just stuck with and argued for ("it's an optical illusion!" or "look at the pixels!").

                  Even if you zoom in really far? Thats what I cant wrap my head around. The colour is so far from black I cant see how anyone would interpret it as black.

                    The point has never been about the actual pixel color codes. It's about how human perception doesn't follow those objective metrics.

                    Distilled down, we perceive color and brightness in comparison to the surrounding scene. The checker shadow illusion is a clear example of the same color looking different.

                    So the color perception on the dress depends on how the brain decides to color correct the white balance of the scene.

                    For the millionth time, the camera perceived it that way, not a human eye.

                        Definitely. Part of how it works for me, is I see the lighting around the space, and how white/bright looks, and how it's VERY different from the dress.

                        So then my brain picks up on how light in the image works, and then makes a profile that the camera is shitty in a shitty environment, and how to interpret color and context.

                        Only after that does my brain decipher what's in the picture, being The Dress®

                        I would argue that if somebody de-blurred the picture, and cut out the dress apart from the background, and just had the dress........

                        Hmmm... Nah, because... even then, I can see how the seams are basically black or far darker blue (like in the shading), and not actual white or gold.

                        Yeah I just don't get how white and gold is seen.

                              So people looking at this photograph actually can perceive this to be white and gold? thats utterly wild. And hard to believe.

                                What on earth are you talking about.

                                Only the 'darker' picture looks remotely blue and black

                                Just curious. If you look at the dress at the bottom, and let your peripherals see the dresses up top slowly, then look up to the dresses on top, do you see them in blue/black then? Happened for me, then even when I scrolled up to the other pictures they stayed blue/black for a while.

                                    For some reason, in the thumbnail, it's much easier to convince my brain that it's a white and gold dress in shadow. When I expand the image, it's pretty much impossible for me to see it as anything other than blue & black.

                                          Light bounces around. That's the whole point of ray tracing. Even if the dress were not in direct light, the light bouncing around the environment would prevent the kind of shade necessary for that.
