      It appears white/gold to me on it's own, I've never been able to see anything different.

      Grabbing this specific image and sampling the colours though; they appear more of a grey/brown colour. I can sorta maybe understand blue, but definitely not black.

      This is just using Polish photo editor on android:

      You should watch https://youtu.be/bg41XfnIBvk for an explanation on how to properly get the colors from the image.

        You can literally sample the rgb values and see it's blue and black

        Edit: am I part of the joke here??? It's clearly blue and black...

        You can sample the colours and see it’s white with a very light blue tinge and gold.

        People who see it as blue and black are (correctly in this case) auto-correcting for the yellow light as the dress itself is black and blue.

        Whereas people who see it as white and gold are (subconsciously) assuming a blue shadow and seeing the pixels as they’re displayed.

          "The phenomenon revealed difference in human color perception..."

          Yes, you're becoming a part of the joke. People LITERALLY see the dress differently. It doesn't matter what the objective facts are. TBH, it says a lot about humanity. Even when we have evidence that subjective experiences can vary, and even contradict each other, we still end up arguing over whose viewpoint is "correct".

          That we’re curious problem solvers?

          Anyway, science has determined that my way is most based

          A study carried out by Schlaffke et al. reported that individuals who saw the dress as white and gold showed increased activity in the frontal and parietal regions of the brain. These areas are thought to be critical in higher cognition activities such as top-down modulation in visual perception

            The objective fact is…it is a blue and black dress. Other photos of the same dress show that.

            But I cannot, for the life of me, see how anyone can possibly get that from this photo. Sample the RGB values all you want and it clearly is not black in this photo. The exposure and white balance have messed around with it so much it is incomprehensible to me how anyone can see it as blue and black.

              Not even the brighter version looks white and gold to me. It's so obviously blue and black, y'all are insane.

                    This is why "eye witness testimony" can never be trusted. People with fucked up physiology just tumbling through life and not even realizing that their color wheel is off by magnitudes, and that cilantro is delicious.

                        I regularly colour-match clothes as part of my retouching work. My eyes are fine otherwise I wouldn't be trusted with critical color work.

                          When you look at the checker shadow illusion, do you see the pixels as identical in color? If not, then obviously there's more to human perception than just the color of the pixel code.

                          Depends on whether I zoom in so the color fills the screen or not. This doesn't change the color values that appear on the screen.

                            Why are people downvoting someone for admitting they made a mistake? It takes some courage to do that.

                            Probably because they qualified it by making an excuse for themself instead of just owning the error without 'strings attached'.

                              Because no one has posted the other photos:

                              And this is a photo of the same dress taken under proper lighting:

                              I have always only seen black and blue, even in the light version my brain doesn't make it gold and white. It's strange to me why people perceive this as gold.

                              Edit this video was the only one to make me see it https://youtu.be/YB36n00NHBw

                                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?

                                  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.

                                  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!").

                                      Left: blue and black.
                                      Middle: light blue and black.
                                      Right: dark blue and black.

                                      The dress is blue and black. It will never be white or gold. The lighting or saturation doesn't matter.

                                        Color is created in the brain, not in the pixel values.
                                        Pixel values often have no correlation to the color that's produced in the brain.

                                          I still think the white and gold people are trolling.

                                          Same. But now after all these years, there are enough people in here that are pedants/trolls and flatly saying they can only see white and gold.

                                          It makes me question my own abilities. Sure, I see the dress for what it actually is, but am I lacking the ability to trick my brain into seeing an illusion? Is that a lack of something like imagination? Am I broken?
