We don’t need dress. We have beans.
Plz sned beans ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

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?
wrote last edited by [email protected]I’ll double-check the source of the second photo, but it looks like the original picture is taken from the back and the second is taken from the front.
Add: Yeah, it’s not the EXACT SAME dress worn to the wedding where the original picture came from, but it is the same design by the same maker.
…Also, THIS is the source the second photo came from and today I learned that the dress actually did drive people insane! Holy fuck!

Don't forget Laurel and Yani!
I hear pancaked!

ITT: people telling other people they're trolling rather than accepting that humans can perceive reality differently, and the own perception is never objective.
Well, except, there is an objective perceivable reality. And we all see it. If you saw the dress in the correct lighting, you wouldn't have trouble discerning the color unless you had a malformed perception in the first place.

color constancy was not "first investigated" just ten years ago.
Yeah, this was a known thing when I was a kid... considerably longer ago than 10 years.

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:

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.
Yeah, and then people started posting comparison shots of what both groups of people see, side by side. One dress clearly being blue/black, and the other being clearly white/gold.
I just remember thinking to myself how people can look at that and still believe in nonsense. If there really was something going on with the colors, light wavelength, etc. we'd just be looking at a side-by-side image of two identical dresses, like looking at a stereoscopic image.

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.
If you tilt the photo around on your phone you can start to see it turn black and blue. IIRC it’s because the phenomenon depends on the angle viewed at

I see white/gold too, and this always fascinated me because I'm wrong. The real dress is black/blue. It's very hard for me to perceive that way, partly due to the bad quality picture, and particularly the background lighting.
The gold is black and the white is a dark blue irl, but in the bad coloring/lighting of the picture, the deep blue is quite washed out. Know that the colors are very washed out, know that the "gold" is black. Focus on the lower left where the colors are closest to true and block out the rest, especially the bright parts. The thick black stripe in the middle can also be a good spot to start to see it.

Were taking about the pixels on the screen, not the real dress though, the colors on screen are what you see and theyre gold and blue-white

ffs now it looks blue and gold. am i dying?
I swear this is a gif with very long loop time. I see it black and blue 90% of the time and the its in my feed and bang, white and gold... and I can't change it no matter what I try.

Some people said the dress was black and blue while others argued it was white and gold.
The court heard the couple had a "volatile" relationship and Johnston became enraged with his wife at their home during an argument.
He then tackled her to the ground and throttled her using both hands. […]
He threatend to "finish her off", struggled with his wife again, brandished a knife, uttered a further threat that "somebody was going to die" and then attempted to self-harm, the court heard.
He pleaded guilty at the same court last month to assaulting his wife to her injury and endangering her life. […]
They went on to appear on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in the USA, where they were handed $10,000 and a luxury trip to Grenada.Man behind viral #TheDress photo jailed for attacking wife
Damn. Sentenced to 4½ years.

How does it feel to be objectively wrong?

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.
I wonder if could be an age component, too? Artificial lighting used to be a lot more yellow. "Party" lighting tends to be more blue.

Why not an American photo editor?

if you take a digital photo of the [ ... thing ... ] and post it on the internet as a terribly compressed jpg
That sums up the entirety of the content on a number of popular subs on the R-word site.
Confusing perspective? No. More like confusing JPEG artifacts.
You used to be able to report shit for not being confusing, but it was placebo at best. That site sucks so much.

A) I'm not American
And
B) America can go fuck itself until it sorts out it's Nazi problem. I still think Canada should enact a full trade embargo and take our business elsewhere.

This dress is black and blue. I am laughing hysterically that any of you think it’s not. Is your eyesight bad in other ways? Honestly asking because mine is really good.

I mean... it was a dumb joke on Polish and Polish being homographs, but okay.
