Kyoroto Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I believe this has gone viral in the past few hours.. But more importantly how do you see this dress. Gold and White OR Black and Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abyssal Monkey Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Anybody who says anything other than Blue & Gold is delusional and needs to get their eyes checked. Agreed. Â Ignoring the lighting it is clearly a White and Gold dress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suikashoujo Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 At first I was positive that it was white and gold, but then when I looked at it from a different angle it was blue and black. I'm so confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosebleed Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Satan Stahp. Pls.  The Real Dress is Royal Blue and Black  To those who don't see it as that:  And even from the girl who took the picture herself:   /Thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Both are definitely possible and there are various reasons as to why, but just so you know that it is possible to see the colors people are seeing: Here is the image with max BRIGHTNESS: white+gold Here is the image with max CONTRAST: blue+black But yeah the actual dress is blue & black  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 It's all about how the lighting plays out.  Even in the max brightness one you posted I see it as blue and black (though it's much more vague). It's all about how people's individual retinas recieve light.  Those who see Black and Blue have a good sensitivity to light Those who see White and Gold have a not so good sensitivity to light  Here's what different lighting can do to your eyes' perception of color.   In the picture above both A and B are the exact same color Eclipsed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I can only see white and gold in that dress, doesn't matter the contrast. A and B seem clearly different to me too, in Nosebleed's example. Tenkuru and Stray Cat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 You mean the letters A and B are same color. or the tiles?!?? if you're telling me that light grey B tile is the same as that dark grey A tile im ganking Flutterz ~~ nvm i see it i have been enlightened LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on Tile A and Tile B and you'll see both have an RGB value of 120, 120, 120  I also did this for the Dress which ended up having an RGB value of around 135, 144, 177 Which is a shade of blue  No matter where I clicked on the dress in the picture it was always a shade of blue.  The black is a little trickier because of the poor lighting, but it ends up with this brownish color thingie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 To all the people who see white and gold does the image look washed out to you or something I cant imagine not seeing any hint of blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eclipsed Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Aight 500% Brightness (this is what you people with bad eyes see!!!)  And 500% contrast  And yeah btw im just jking so dont get offended by the bad eyes comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Oh and by no means am I disregarding those who see different colors. I know you do see different colors in the picture, because that's just how crappy the lighting is and how easy it is to trick our own eyes.  But as far as the real color of the dress, it's undoubtedly, unequivocally, 100% Black and Blue.  It was fun to see people's reactions in the first couple hours, but at this point I'm just like:   Aight 500% Brightness (this is what you people with bad eyes see!!!)  And 500% contrast Now that's a gold and white  There's a microscopic hint of blue here and there for me, but the majority is just white.  And if you increase the exposure, you can see the Dress is actually a Super Saiyan  Stray Cat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havoc Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 well, i can defintly say i fot bad eyes.  But that dress never looked wite and gold to me.  To me it looked like this  the wite part looks to me like, a slight blue haze is over it like a light was shining on a blue surface behind it.  And the gold looks like beige a really dirty color of beige.  So why do i end up with colors somewhere imbetween?  P.S. i know i got bad eyesight.

Sakimichi Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The original owner of the dress: http://swiked.tumblr.com/post/112164479015/can-we-have-more-pictures-of-the-dress-please-we To end this farce once and for all! Â I still see blue and gold :/ Either way, it's the kind of blue that I'd be likely to say 'that would be white if not for the lighting', so im not sure where that leaves me. Â whatever. Â Try looking at the picture again by squinting really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbl Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Guys it has nothing to do with the quality of your vision, just how you naturally build a context for the lighting. The image's lighting is strange, which leads to people interpreting it differently based on how they are used to reading lighting. People speculate that the difference arises between people used to seeing things under light (white/gold) and people used to seeing things in the dark(blue/black).

LinovaA Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Welp. Colour me stupid. Looking at this on my phone right now. Guess it really is blue and black.
