White and gold is back.
I feel like I’m slowly having a break with reality.
Don’t be surprised if I start urinating into jars and saving my toenail clippings.

So using this pic as a reference, for those of you claiming Blue and Black, do you see a difference between the pictures?
Because I see a clear difference between the middle pic and the one on the right. The middle is white/gold and the dress on the right is blue/black. The far left just looks like a washed out version of the middle one.
Forgetting blue or white for a second, do you really see black in all three pictures? No gold at all?

I’ve got the original pic open in a separate window. It looks white and gold, like the dress on the left. When my eyes switch to blue/black, it looks like the dress in the middle.
When I see white/gold or blue/black I can still see a difference between the three pics side by side with white/gold on the left and dark blue/black on the right.
Edit: From left to right I would call the dresses white/gold, blue/olive, and dark blue/black.
Oh oh oh…
If I stare at the middle dress, then look at the dress on the left, I can see the middle dress lighten out of the side of my vision. Rather than looking like the colors are halfway between the dress on the left and the dress on the right, it looks much closer to the dress on the left.
If I stare at the darkest dress, then look at the lighter two, the middle dress will turn lighter.
I have no idea what this means.

Do those that see the first photo as blue/black see a difference between the first photo and this one?
Edit: There are two explanations for this. One, those that see black/blue ate too many paint chips as children. Two, someone has pulled off a great viral prank.

Now it looks like a white and gold dress with a blue filter over it. I still perceive it as white with a tint of blue over the whole picture.

Looking at it closely I don’t see how it could be white. There is obviously a tint of blue in the image and nothing outside the dress is blue so its not the lighting making it blue.
Assuming the lighter area is blue, adding more blue to the entire image to compensate for the lighting makes the gold turn black based on its rgb values.[/quote]
Yeah it’s dim. I see no blue whatsoever. Not a shade, not a maybe I don’t see how it can have any blue in it at all.
Yeah, I am sure adding a blue filter will make it look blue, after all it’s white. If we add a red filter it will look red. That’s not the solution.[/quote]
I didn’t say adding blue filter, I meant subtracting light which is a combination of all colors, you’ll get a more blue image by doing that. It might just be your monitor settings. You can also try zooming in so much you see nothing but the blue area, the color is more obvious when everything else is out of frame.
By extracting random pixels on the dress and entering the RGB value on this site it gives you the color name and the hue. Doing this I get nothing but blue themed colors even by picking the lightest (near white) ones I can find.

Well, what I mean is altering the photo is not going to explain the phenomena. I HAVE zoomed in on that lacy part. It’s brownish gold, zoomed in, zoomed out, period.
I cannot see any blue what so ever and I have not been diagnosed with color blindness. I had it checked not long ago either.

I think it’s fascinating. And while this is all fun and games to us, this is an important dress. The reverberations through the science and philosophic communities are going to be studying and talking about this dress for a long time.

I’d like to see the real dress in person.

-white and gold
-dimmer, but still white and gold
- somebody put a blue filter so the white is a little bit blue, and the gold is still gold.

I saw blue/black this morning, quite clearly.
Now it looks white/gold to me.
Did the entire internet get together and decide to fuck with me by changing the picture while I was at work? I don’t even…[/quote]
It changed for you? Whoa.

Blue
I wish I could see it just once as blue/black. I’m completely flummoxed by this. I thought my son was bullshitting me when he said it was blue.

When I look at the middle picture I see a shitty camera taking a shitty picture of a dress that is getting some shitty retail store lighting hit from the side making the black appear washed out (gold-ish) under direct light. I haven’t seen white/gold at all. I knew from the minute I saw the dress it was black/blue with bad lighting.

The actual dress doesn’t exist In our physical universe.

Same for me. No matter what they do it looks white and gold. Yes, when they change the contrast/add filter I can see where they may get the blue tint but, it then looks like a white dress in bad lighting.
The same way that in a dark room putting an apple in front of a computer screen or t.v may have a blue tint. I will still say the apple is red.
