Who remembers this?

This literally clears up nothing for me and I'm about to lose it. It's still fucking blue and black
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

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.
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.

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 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.

The dress is a bistable picture, similar to the Spinning Dancer, which you can consciously reverse the direction of spin with some practice.
To see the dress as blue-black, I first look at the black dress in the bottom-left corner, then shift gaze to the main dress when colour is established.
To see the dress as white-gold, I first look at the sunny regions on the right, then move gaze across, when the main dress goes to white-gold.

It may help to cover or mask the opposite region, when focusing on one side.

For detail, 10 years ago I saw this as white-gold and did not change from that perception. Did not know what all the fuss was about this dress.
Today, I saw it as white-gold initially, but 10 minutes later, after two friends saw it as blue-black, I also saw it as blue-black and could not shake it.

The "color" of a thing is pure perception and often just a genuine personal choice.
It is annoying to think about it like that, but consider:
A movie projected onto a white canvas. Before the movie starts, there is no light projecting onto it and it's just the white canvas.
The movie opening credit comes on. "ALIEN" it says in thin white letters on black background. The projector does not darken the canvas, just add some lines of light forming letters in the middle. Yet we see black.
Is the canvas black or white now? If do when did it change? Is it both? How would you describe that?
People give many answers to this. Most of them based on choice of definition more than objective observation, which I find super interesting.

I always heard yarrel. Or yarrey, but I don't hear l sound at the start or n sound in the middle. So neither?
