I never really understood the debate. In reality, if you were standing in front of the dress it is black and blue. Now, if you take a digital photo of the dress and post it on the internet as a terribly compressed jpg, with weird white balancing, and brightness/contrast turned up and down it is gold and white. The debate isn't really about the reality of the color of the dress but the reality of a badly edited photo.

I love the way everyone was saying it was white and gold.
Until the science came out.
And everyone claimed to have always seen blue and black.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Fun fact: I can see both.
Some times when I look at it it’s blue and black. Some times when I look at it it’s white and gold. I can make them flip back and forth.
Altering perception is cool.

Because no one has posted the other photos:
And this is a photo of the same dress taken under proper lighting:
Even with my phone cranked all the way up it still looks blue to me. I've never been able to see the white and gold version people claim exists.

I've only ever seen it as blue and black. I can't force it the other way like I could with Laurel and Yani. Y'all seeing white and gold astound me.

Crazy talk. White and gold only

Is it, though? Is this dress in the pic only white and gold to everyone who looks at the picture/the original?

I've always really liked this explanation image you can find on Wikipedia page for it. Essentially, people who see white and gold are mistaking the lighting to be cold and blue-tinted, rather than warm and yellow-tinted.
The portions inside the boxes are the exact same colors, you can easily check this with a color picker.
But the dress in the photo looks like it's in the shadow so it's a fair assumption that the lighting would be blue-tinted.
-
Not even the brighter version looks white and gold to me. It's so obviously blue and black, y'all are insane.
What on earth are you talking about.
Only the 'darker' picture looks remotely blue and black
-
I'm still convinced this is the biggest troll. It's clearly white and gold
When the discussion started, I saw white and gold too. Then, at some point, I saw blue and black and since then I've never been able to see it as white and gold again.

…shortly after, the internet broke people’s brains though addictive feed algorithms and everyone lost their minds. But then Lemmy was born to restore the internet to an early more fun time. Lemmy just hopes that one day it will have its own dress moment.

The second photo is supposed to be the same dress? Looks like an homage, aka knock-off attempt to me. What happened to the shoulders?
Doesn't look like the shoulder material is physically part of the dress... it's probably a jacket or shaul.

And what everyone seemed to omit: the reality of peoples' wildly uncalibrated monitors/phone screens.

So fucking stupid. It's black and blue in over exposure. If your brain isn't autocorrecting it... go to a doctor or something.

The lighting of the room is clearly yellow. The black stripes look to be a very glossy material, which when lit with yellow light reflects goldish. There's no way that lighting turns a white dress blue.

That's not clear to me. The dress looks like it's in the shade.

Never understood this one, or believed anyone who said they saw black/blue. You can zoom in and colour pick, the colours are measurable and objectively gold and blue-white.

It’s more about the colors around it. This image from Wikipedia does a really good job illustrating the effect.
Context is extremely important in identifying color. As Technology Connections tells us, for example, “brown is just orange with context.”

How does it look like it's in a shadow? The rest of the photo is over exposed like in bright lights so it's safe to assume that the dress is over exposed too.

It kills me that no matter what, it is always white and gold for me, EVEN THOUGH REALITY SAYS OTHERWISE!
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yea i never see an ounce of black on there. That's fucking yellow.
I see blue stripes or white if standing in a shadow. But there is no black.

I see it obviously blue black, but I have some specific accessibility related colour filters on my screen that might influence this.

This isn't the picture they used at the time either, why are we cropping it now?
