Nobody cares what color the actual dress is so posting images of what it really looks like doesn't prove any point.
Look at the midband of the dress compared to the black/white item on the left of the image. The black/white item clearly shows black. The dress clearly shows a brownish/goldish color that's much lighter than the item next to it.

 

[Izuna]

Now that's gold & white. Not what I see in OP

No way...

I see the inverted image as white...

 

[Necromanti]

But it's been shown constantly that the actual dress IS black and blue and no white and gold version of the same dress exists.

Are the sleeves a red herring?

 

[Chabbles]

HAAHA cool, if you scroll up and down fast between posts 530 and 531 while looking "through" the monitor, shit starts changing color.

Edit,
oh wait, its a gif you bastard

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

As a fellow artist myself I say have at you, sir!

White & Gold for life!

We just fucked up our eyes for sitting to much in front of a screen with a wacom tablet.

 

[hydruxo]

Oh my god, this thread is going to be 50 pages by tomorrow isn't it.


I see white and gold. I can see how the white could look blue if you don't realize it's white under shade, but I have no fucking idea how the gold could look black.

Lmao. I see blue and black and I have no idea how the black could look gold.

 

[Despera]

i'm looking at a color calibrated monitor i use for grading and its white and gold with a slight blue white balance. white like you were shooting in daylight with tungsten white balanced camera.

my eyes are sweet and also rad

photoshop says blueish white and gold

blue and black crew hi functioning like having an extra chromosome is not always the best

a-v-b when you say is a saturated black don't you mean was not is, who cares how we got here the colors are measurable as white and gold

It means your eyes are not perceptive enough to distinguish the true colours of the picture.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I see blue and gold on my iPad. Will need to test when I'm at my desktop.

 

[matrix-cat]

This thread is blowing my mind. That dress is blue and black, I can't comprehend how you could see white and gold at all. The black kind of fades to brown, maaaaaybe like a dark, bronze-y gold at the top, I suppose, but the blue is as blue as you can get.

 

[Burt]

It changed on me again. What the hell.

It's very clearly one or the other. You won't mistake which one you see. Come back later and it might switch on you like it did for me.

 

[GavinGT]

That isn't white though, look at the colour closely. Does it look like the same colour as the text (dark GF background) the reply button even?

We're inferring white because it's dimly lit. The color as it appears in the image (without factoring in lighting) is a bluish-gray. But that's a fucking far cry from the royal blue that's in the other photo of the dress.

 

[tapedeck]

Feeling kinda sorry for the people in this thread who've lived their lives thinking they were white when they're actually blue.

 

[DrForester]

You tell these fuckers, Captain!

 

[DBT85]

I saw it first and it was just of white and gold. I went up two floors to get my eclairs out of the fridge, and came back down. The lights have not changed, my head has not changed, the colours are now nearer blue and black.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Yep, black and blue. Like the last motherfucker who told me the dress was white and gold.

 

[nib95]

Are we getting trolled, and does the image just change every now and again? Because at first I saw white and gold, now I'm seeing blue and black lol.

Feel like it's just clever coded auto image switching.

 

[Floridian]

No way...

I see the inverted image as white...

Pure white?

Edit: Shit now I see white & gold in the OP

 

[SlowRevolution]

is this what wiz khalifa was talking about

 

[DJ88]

Ok everyone calm down everyone. I think I have a way to explain all of this.
It all comes down to lighting and how we perceive colors under different lighting conditions. I tried to find the 2 best examples I could.

First how white can look blue or how blue can look white:

So in this picture of the White House, the obvious white can have blueish/grayish tones when there are shadows or shade over it.

And second, how black can look gold or gold can look black:

It took me a while to think of how black could look gold but I finally remembered that under certain lighting from the sun, black can take a goldish/brownish tone.
I definitely see white and gold, and I'm still not certain which one it actually is, but I can see how really weird lighting combined with a most likely over exposed photo could make see people totally different things.
It's still pretty cool to see how people's brains process what their eyes see.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

It is clearly blue and the other thing is a poopish shade of brown.

Does nobody else see this, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

 

[PhantomHound]

Black and blue!

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Not on topic at all, but I fucking hate .gifs like this. Where they try to make it so only one thing is moving, and the background stays static, but then they do it so poorly that you've got large sections of the .gif just doing weird, distracting things. At that point, just don't bother editing it.

 

[RELIGHT]

Full of it

 

[Isotope]

I'm trying extremely hard to see gold and white, but I just see blue and black.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

It's blue and gold.

I agree.

 

[alr1ght]

Okay, now this is freaking weird. For shits and giggles, I inverted the image. To me, the colors look EXACTLY THE SAME but they... switched positions.

how color works

Invert a red and green dress and it will do the same.

 

[Sciortino]

I see white and gold.

 

[hoola]

Okay, now this is freaking weird. For shits and giggles, I inverted the image. To me, the colors look EXACTLY THE SAME but they... switched positions.

Now it looks Blue and Gold. The horizontal parts went from blue to go.d, and the frizzy parts went from black to blue.

 

[GavinGT]

First how white can look blue or how blue can look white:

Ah yes, the Blue House. I've been meaning to visit.

 

[Barzul]

I see white and gold....am I fucked?

Sorry, but your eyes aren't sweet and rad because the actual dress is blue and black and the image is actually over exposed which has shifted the colours to a warmer tone rather than being shifted to the colder side making it blue.

Don't feel too bad though, apparently 9/10 peoples eyes don't work properly if this thread is anything to go by. ;D

 

[Floridian]

The dress in the OP i'll see as white & gold for like 6 seconds but the moment I tilt my head back it reverts back to black & blue. Idk the cause of it

 

[Dictator93]

It is quite obviously black and blue, the cameras lighting coniditions just create that off tinge color which everyone with "worse" eyes is interpretting.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Everyone saying white and gold is trolling. How do people not get this.

maybe more people have shitty eyesight than I thought but you'd have to have pretty crazy shitty ass eyesight to get this wrong.

 

[ultimax]

at first I saw white and gold, and then when I pulled up the picture again, I see black and blue. LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL? I'm losing my mind over this, I might actually be insane

 

[Sparkedglory]

White and gold.

 

[Despera]

Now it looks Blue and Gold. The horizontal parts went from blue to gold, and the frizzy parts went from black to blue.

okay... we need an exorcist up in this bitch.

the inverted color image looks pretty much yellow/gold and white to me.

 

[Tom Penny]

I went back in the thread and the dress is blue and black. Fuck this voodoo shit.

 

[Burt]

at first I saw white and gold, and then when I pulled up the picture again, I see black and blue. LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL? I'm losing my mind over this, I might actually be insane

I had the same thing happen.

HOW DO I SWITCH IT BACK HELP ME PLASE

 

[BCDAWG7]

I see white and gold. My fiancé sees black and blue.

 

[L95]

Bring black the blue dress image >:c

I dislike white/gold as a color combination

 

[Soul Beat]

We just fucked up our eyes for sitting to much in front of a screen with a wacom tablet.

This is probably true. :/

 

[MiszMasz]

In fact, i don't think i've ever even seen a dress quite this blue before.

 

[Enduin]

What the fuck. I originally saw White and Gold no question, not a hint of Blue/Black at all, then after scrolling through the pages I now see Black and Blue completely nothing about it looks W/G anymore.

 

[hydruxo]

 

[Log4Girlz]

White and gold

 

[GavinGT]

If my rods and cones are wrong, then I don't wanna be right.

 

[Tuck]

Blue & black for me.

 

[MrCunningham]

I guess I am part team white and gold.

 

[Izuna]

Is this black?
