Sorry but it's white and gold. The white only gets a blue hue due to the ambient lighting.
And it never is black!
I can't see it as anything but white and gold. However, other photos clearly show it is black and blue.
Interestingly, if I'm scrolling past, my brain will sometimes perceive it as black and blue for a fraction of a second. I can normally flip optical illusions at will. This one jams me in the wrong viewing mode.

This literally clears up nothing for me and I'm about to lose it. It's still fucking blue and black
wrote last edited by [email protected]The real dress is actually blue and black, yes, but the illustration tries to show how the exact same colours can look different depending on lighting and context.
In the diagram, the dress on the left is strongly blue and black, while the dress on the right is strongly white and yellow.
And yet the connected parts of the dresses with the "pipes" between them show the exact same colour on one dress can look like a different color on the other. The "pipe" is there so you can follow it with your own eyes from one side to the other and observe that it is indeed the same colour on both sides, despite looking very different when observed as part of the whole image.
The point being, how our brains perceive colour is very situationally dependent, and some people assume a different situation than others, hence the differences in perception.
People tend to believe that vision is absolute, that we all have the same eyes and see the same things, but that's absolutely not true. The dress phenomenon occurred because It's not about what your "eyes" see in absolute terms, it's about what your "brain" does with that information.

If this "viral dress debate" has taught me anything is that you can claim whatever bullshit online and bunch of people will believe it. Post an orange and claim it's blue even though it's clearly orange and there will be a percentage of idiots who will believe that the orange is blue because someone said so. And we'll have virale debate about a fucking orange.
Of course there are vision conditions like daltonism and we have variances in perceptions of color gradients, but white and gold doesn't suddenly become blue and black...
Confidently incorrect perfection.

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

What finally worked for me on the image above is to look at the yellow dress on the image above on my phone, then zoom in on the part in blue light, then squint so I barely see what I'm doing and move the zoomed in section so that it only shows the party of the black and blue dress in yellow light, and then open my eyes again. Then it finally looked yellow and white.

What is global illumination from sky lighting again ??
Carcinogenic.

those color illusions always wreck my brain
This explains it neatly, the "gold" (which isn't a color btw) is just brown, and the blue is quite light.
It's all about contrasts, put a color near a light one and it appears darker, put it near a darker one and it appears lighter.
Bet the bordercolor on different browsers/phones made it look more one way or another.
Also, cold shadows are devoid of yellow so a blue is easily mistaken for a shadow. The impressionist used this trick a lot, light blue/cyan for shadows. Sounds crazy but it works.
Very clever trick.

I could understand gold, but where the hell do you see white on this picture?

The lighter color looks like a blue-ish white, but I can't see anything other than gold for the stripes.

I'm still convinced this is the biggest troll. It's clearly white and gold

wrote last edited by [email protected]See, it always looked to me like blue light (or maybe shadow) around the dress itself, where the only sense it makes to my brain is that the fabric is white.

You can literally sample the rgb values
It doesn't matter. This phenomenon can be explained by something called color constancy.
I remember some versions of this image where I could literally switch between perceptions at will, when I imagined different surrounding light temperatures/environments.
It's a subjective perception.
I can literally switch between perceptions with this exact image. It’s sort of like that “are there six cubes or ten” illusion. Depending on how I look at it, I can see either one.

"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".

They see the blue as shaded white, and the glossy black has enough yellow reflected in it that they think it is shadowy gold. Basically, you’re seeing the dress as if it’s lit from the front. You see the colors as blue and black, because that’s what’s on the screen. But other people’s brains decide that the dress is backlit, so the colors facing the camera are actually shaded.

I currently see blue/light blue and black+gold, but no white. If I remember correctly I never saw white.

And you are obviously right. I can see it with my own eyes.

I remember seeing different colors on different screens, so I think part of the perception difference are the saturation and brightness settings of your screen

Yeah that definitely has an influence as well. If I tilt my screen I can make it more blue and black, but straight on it's white and gold.
