I had not heard about this until the Morning Mashup was talking about it on the radio this morning and then thankfully gE is here to explain it to me...

The dress is clearly blue and black. That original post ITT looks washed out causing it to be periwinkle and faded black. Even the angles or whatever that people are seeing as gold/white, still just looks like blue/black just more washed out to me. (I can see how some people might perceive it as gold but those people would be wrong.)

Also, I have proven to have excellent color perception by taking several online colorblindness tests and comparing my results to other people in my office.

I can see a little blue. I can see a little gold. I can see a little white. There is absolutely no color on that entire dress that could possibly look anything close to black under any lighting conditions. GTFO with the black.

no, 50% of the people have highly developed brains that recognize the image is somewhat distorted and still know that the dress is black and blue, because the dress is black and blue.

the other 50% are just less evolved idiots.

It is obviously white and gold. You can't do a color picker off the picture because it is in shadow. That is why there are blue tints. Shadow isn't black. It takes on all of the reflective light from the area around it. I am sure we could find 1000 pictures of white garments that have blue shadow on them.

I haven't once looked at it and saw blue and black.

Yes, it is like when there is a big piece of carpet laying on the highway and for a few seconds your brain perceives it as a dead deer...but then you get a little closer and think "I was an idiot for thinking that was a deer when it is clearly just a piece of carpet."

Some of us can more easily realize it is not a deer (or not gold and white).

wake me up when you photoshop it to be white and gold and then tell me it's not.  :zzz:

nobody photoshopped anything!

This could easily be the same style of dress in a different color.

I have often wondered if we perceive colors entirely differently...like the color that I call purple actually looks to you like the color I call green, but we would never know because you call that color purple not because it looks like what I think purple looks like but because that color you are seeing has been called purple.

actually the woman in the dress in the subject photo posted once she saw it blow up and even provided a pic showing it is the dress above.

I only saw W/G and thought people were nuts until I turned the phone around to show my buddy and as it turned I saw B/B.    Now I can see it both ways at different times, an it will even change as I scroll down the pic.    This is all on a phone.    On a monitor I don't think it's as easy to change.

Same here. The samples were taken from this photo....The center is the original and the other two have been adjusted. Even the far left photo, I see that it is a faded blue/black in bad lighting...but when I look at the samples out of context I see the gold/white colors.

Seriously - time out from bbs trolling - are all you blue/black people rough ridin' with us? That's a white/gold dress. The picture in the middle is white/gold. the picture on the left is a brighter white/gold, and the picture on the right has been severly darkened, but you can still see the gold.

I'll concede that the white in the middle has a slightly bluish hue, and this becomes more pronounced when you darken the image. But wtf are people getting black from?

Or, is this simply a matter of how bright people's monitors are? The only way you're getting to blue/black is if you have the brightness on your monitor cranked down to about 5%.

kstatefan11w still sees white and gold, on Firefox and IE (she still uses Explorer :fatty:)

No, in my mind I'm 100% that its blue and black. The 3 photo thing just looks like blue and black and messing with the contrast/brightness with the same picture.

I will admit that the first time I looked at this morning I saw white/gold. But only one time, then I've seen blue/black.

I'm not making any of this up.

I saw 39.

Saw 37 on my phone. Saw 40 on my laptop. Does my laptop have more cones?

You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway :)

The photo has a gold/white dress. People who see black/blue just have minds that are making them see colors that aren't really there. It's impressive that their brains can see the actual colors of the dress through the shitty photograph, but they don't see colors better. If anything, they see them worse.

Orrr. . you have minds that don't allow you to see what is plainly in front of your eyes. It is the light or the picture quality affecting the photo's colors, but it is obviously white and gold with no context.

I'm curious as to what the end game is for the blue/blackers.  Like, how much longer are you going to lie about the color of the dress?  Are you being extorted?  Is there a payoff waiting?  Is the payoff simply being part of an enormous troll job? Who is behind this?  So many questions.....

Also, there should have been a poll added to this thread.

That's a cop out. If you use photoshop and sampling to get pieces of the image, you can see white and gold. You really can't see blue and black. At least you can't see shades of blue and black remotely close to the actual color of the dress.

You will realize it's blue when you look at the black and white fabric in bottom left hand corner.

You son of a gun.  I stared at the bottom left corner for about 5-10 seconds and the white just kind of morphed into blue and the gold darkens to a faded black.  If i scroll to the top of the dress it goes right back to white and gold tho.

Brown and light blue from the center image. I think most people are seeing a shadow over the top of the dress, though, and equating the brown and light blue to gold and white.

The light blue is a whole lot closer to white than the actual dark blue color of the dress, and the brown is a lot closer to gold than black.

Definitely sounds like "yanny" to me.  I had to hear it several times before I was able to hear "laurel." I think one of the issues is that the "Y" is definitely the first sound and the "L" is definitely the last, so if you hear the "Y" frequency well, the word turns into yanny.  If you miss it, then you hear the lower-pitched "laurel" instead.
