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.

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.
-
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.
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.”
-
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.
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?

wrote last edited by [email protected]The photo looks different. I see the original as white and gold but this looks blue and black.
Edit: Fuck me, I'm looking at this again at night and it's back to white and gold... I guess my phone is on "night mode" now...

Article with original photo. Frankly, I see it as blue and gold this morning after I just woke up. I know that I've been able to see both of the other views (limited) when I viewed the photo when I was fully awake, but not right now.
-
When i first opened the image, it was undeniably white/gold to me, and I could not trick myself into seeing black/blue. After looking at the HQ image above, now I can not see white/gold anymore.
Edit: After writing this comment, it is back to white/gold.
Had the same happen to me

We don’t need dress. We have beans.

Ah, so white and gold folks are, indeed, mistaken.
Thanks!
This has been known for almost as long as the picture has been around. Still doesn't allow me to see it.

Look at everything to the right of the dress, even to the left. Everything is illuminated with bright, yellowish light.

It's not as simple as that. There actually is a human perception element. Take a copy and ask a few people what they see. Even while you are all looking at the exact same thing, people can disagree. It can even happen to you where the colours flip.
Colors do not just magically flip, not outside of gradient variances and medical conditions. This is absurd bs just like this whole "viral" debate where people were arguing over how camera captured the stupid dress. The camera captured it in that stupid way to look entirely different, not my eyes. Even color picker in image editor proves that on the photo of the dress, the gold is gold and the white is so far washed out blue that can easily be declared white. Are you going to claim mathematical tool has wrong perception of color too?
