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%.

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'm with _fan, although at no point has it ever been anything close to white/gold. no matter what picture you throw at me.

Whit gold.
Opened my laptop up to take a look and if I looked at very weird angle, I saw blue and black colors, but couldn't make out the picture.

This has got to be some sort of large scale sociology experiment.

There is simply no black in that dress.  None.

Also, just think about it logically. No one would wear/make the terrible dress the white/gold people are seeing

Crazy. I've polled 7 people here at the office. The 4 women all see blue/black. The 3 men all see white/gold. So I guess that's settled. You see blue/black if you're a woman.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

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

http://www.slate.com/articles/video/video/2015/02/light_color_and_the_dress_video_explains_gold_white_blue_black_dress_illusion.html

Crazy - so if I'm understanding this correctly, our brains are doing their own Photoshop white-balance manipulation when processing colors, and some brains do it differently.

I can see the blue tint - at least a little - in the lighter stripes, but I have no idea where people are getting black from. You blue/black people really can't see the yellow there?!

I was wondering why there was just no way I could see white in any fashion. Well after reading the article _FAN posted, it's obviously because I'm a stud nightowl.

My coworker (a woman) and I were looking at the same screen. She saw white/gold while I saw blue/black.

Then later in the day she looked again and saw blue/black. Then a few minutes later she saw white/gold again.

My brewery opens in May, but is right next door to the one that just opened, which is Border Brewing. When you go to border we're directly east in the green/gray brick building.
