This is the secret...

It isnt.
People will indeed see a different color depending on how their pupils have adjusted to the ambient light around them. Which is why people are saying the dress color is changing on them(without the gif animation)

 

[Mengy]

I see white and gold, it's so clear to me. My gf sees black and blue, and she thinks I'm insane.




I'm going to have to break up with her.....

It shifts from a white and gold dress to a white and gold dress in a dark room for me.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

The secret is in rhodopsin bleaching, that is all.

 

[AJLma]

This works for me, I can switch back and forth.

If you see the dress as white/gold, focus at the black dots on the shirt in the background on the bottom. Use the dots as a reference black color, then look at the also black(gold) frills of the dress. Keep in mind that both of those colors are black and stare for a few seconds and the white parts of the dress will eventually turn blue.

If you see the dress as blue/black, focus on the upper-center of the dress where it's brightest, that color is straight up yellow. The rest will turn white.

The dress is also always blue for me at a glance, then when I look for longer periods of time it turns to Yellow. Either way this picture blew my mind and made me realize how easy it is to trick my brain.

You know, the 43 page thread on this is still on the front page...

 

[Queen of Hunting]

you know its just because every monitor is different right, probs more to do with who has there monitor settings right and who dont

 

[vocab]

Saw both blue and black and white and gold. When it was blue and black it faded into white and gold. It has something to do with exposure to light.

 

[entremet]

We have a huge thread on this already.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Anybody that says it isn't white and gold is a liar and should never be trusted.

I agree.

 

[Flo_Evans]

I dunno, I originally saw white/gold, then later I saw blue/black. Now, sometimes it changes back to white/gold, like when I saw it on FB feeds or some different sites.

Has any blue/black people been able to shift to white/gold? We have seen plenty of people switching from the white/gold.

I can see it pretty consistently loading it on a slow connection. When only a thin strip is visible it appears white and gold. As soon as the full image loads it's blue and black.

I think the main clue that forces blue/black are the shadows from the jacket and some of the hilights and shadows on the horizontal ribbing. Once your brain recognizes that light source you know it is not in deep shade.

It is. Take anyone saying the top image in the thread is white/gold and have them watch the color-changing white balance shifting gif for a few seconds.

Then look back at the original image. Once you've 'tricked' your eyes into properly correcting the white balance, you will see black/blue.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Rev you'll never guess what: The clouds and bushes in Super Mario Bros. are the same!

IT'S JUST A PALETTE SWAP!!!

 

[mcfizzle4]

It was white and gold for me and then last night right before bed I looked at it in the other thread again and it was blue and black. I woke up my wife and it was different for her too. Today it's white and gold again. Fatigue must be a factor, at least for me.

Aha.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Well yeah. I can make it Blue/black if I zoom/squint. We need scientists to make it stay that way though.

 

[Hours Left]

It keeps switching on me. O_O

Didnt work for me. Im not talking about something bluer or darker. Im talking about the same deep color as the 'corrected' image.

 

[Fusebox]

Every time someone on the internet starts a new thread about the dress it changes color.

 

[Yudoken]

 

[TheOMan]

My night vision is ridiculously good. Blue and Gold. Again, it has nothing to do with the quality of your vision, it's how your brain is interpreting the image.

 

[Broder Salsa]

u r a genius

 

[Fusebox]

I don't get it.

 

[StickSoldier]

Yes, the bottom part of the dress in the picture does look more blueish and black, but overall when you still look at the dress as a whole, for me at least, it's still white and gold.

 

[cardinalmind]

I still can't see it as a blue & black dress...

 

[speculawyer]

Mind blown. It worked for me. It flipped.

 

[Buggy Loop]

 

[Beaniedude]

I had a dream about this.

It was green and blue.

Like a vibrant shade of green.

Help me.

 

[Panzon]

Im so frustrated with this fucking dress. I've been trying all day to look at it in different rooms, outside, on other people's phones and nope, still white and gold

 

[Ovid]

I'm shocked no one has the dress as their avatar

Phreaker does.

 

[Escape Goat]

Nope, its still pink and green.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Cool

 

[Fusebox]

I had a dream about this.

Help me.

I dig the awesome white and gold outfit in your avatar.

I've just discovered the secret to the Blue&Black/White&Gold Dress

No he hasn't @ #savedyouaclick

 

[bengraven]

White with a bluish shadow, like seeing snow under a full moon. And gold.

It now pink and green

PINK AND GREEN

 

[Alphahawk]

Team white and gold here, I can see how some people could see the white as blue, but the gold I can not see as black no matter how hard I try.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

I would love to know the reasoning behind someone who sees it black and blue versus someone who sees it white and gold. My mother, brother and brother's girlfriend sees it white and gold, while I, see it black and blue.

 

[Lashley]

its still white and gold

and i still dont care

 

[Rebel Leader]

its still white and gold

and i still dont care

And yet you post



I want this dress dead and I want it dead now

 

[DJ88]

They see the dress under a shadow. You see the dress under indoor lighting.

 

[Korey]

Black/blue people who can't see the white:

Stare at the white/gold part of the middle graphic, then look up at the dress.

 

[jstripes]

As someone who went to art school and has a basic understanding of how the eye interprets colour, fuck, I wish this all would go away. -_-

 

[Bay Maximus]

It's always blue and black for me. I can't get it to change.

I guess my eyes are just awesome.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

Um, nope. Still blue/black. Must be trolling.
I did see it being white/gold initially, tho. Now I'm stuck with blue/black.
