The colors of this photo will appear different to everyone. I think?

I saw white (slight blue tint) and (dark) gold at work on the work monitor and checked on mobile and still saw white/gold...
Then I got home... smoked a bowl and I can only see blue and black (closer to a black chocolate color on my monitor at home, but almost black on mobile)... unsure if this will last. But everyone is right.. he hasn't discovered the secret.

It only ever looks white/gold to me if I'm fatigued and have been staring at bright artificial light. If I start looking elsewhere for a few minutes and look back, it's blue/black.

It was white and gold to me initially, but now all I can see is blue and gold. I never see the black.
Worked for me. I can't get it to go back to white and gold though.

It's a crappy photo IMO, I too saw white and gold right away then I scrolled down a little and spotted a blacker item in the background. With the contrast I definitely see black and blue now.

What's weird to me is that it looked White and Gold to me all day yesterday, but now every picture of it today looks blue and black. I can't unsee it back to White/Gold.
Damn, before or after my post
According to what is going on in that other Dress thread, you would be considered sexist.
Dress is Black and Blue, at all times to me.

I'm not drunk enough for this shit.
I don't get. Both are still same except black a little browner in 2nd time
Good decision bro. I could never be with someone that sees Blue and Black in that pic.
I keep trying to get the dress to be white and gold but I just keep seeing black and blue no matter what
It's ok friend, your mind allows you to see that which is true.

the hell...? I was looking at it just yesterday and it was white and gold, and looked again earlier today and it's still white + gold. after I filled up my tank, which is literally 5 minutes later, I looked at the dress again and now it's blue and black
... what is going on!?
... what is going on!?
I feel your pain. I was already drunk and in a bad mood last night and looking at it made me want to throw my phone against the wall.

How is it ever black? This is like those impossible colors people can't prove exist.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
still black and blue for me
the secret is that the lighting in the photo is screwed up such that a lot of people interpret the dress as being in a bluish shadow
therefore your brain says "oh this color isn't blue, it's white except it's in shadow"
you can find a lot of optical illusions like this online, where you have one object in an area of light and one in shadow, so your brain interprets them as being two different colors, even though they're actually the same

I can't help but see the colors in the same way photoshop picker does; a bunch of desaturated light blues and goldish dark browns. I've looked at it a bunch of times, and I can't see just straight up black and blue, or white and gold.
That actually looks a lot cooler than the blue/gold one.
They should also make white/black and blue/gold.

Imagine you were trying to figure out what the dress looked like in real life.

Blue and gold.

Various news outlets that have interviewed people from the store have mentioned that the dress maker is considering the white/gold version after this whole debacle.

Can you guys seeing only one or the other switch your angle or adjust your monitor up/down to change it?
Looking right at it I see gold/whitish but if I tilt my monitor away from me I see the black/blue.

That's what the colors literally are, but the question isn't what colors are in the image, it's what color the dress is (in real life).
Your brain is trying to interpret the photo based on the context (lighting, etc.) but since it's so zoomed in there's little to work with. So certain times it'll interpret the dress to be blue with yellow lighting (making the black reflect a golden color), and other times it'll interpret it to be white with a blueish shadow on it.
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.
Another perfectly clear graphic explaining how it can be both.
Too bad it'll be completely ignored.
I hope it glows supernaturally like that one too.
