I thought I'd muck around combining techniques from other eye "tricks".
Stare at the light blue circle for twenty seconds then look at the wall for few seconds:

DAMMIT NINJA FUCK YOU WHAT TGE SHIT

 

[rexor0717]

This thread is tainted. Should have just said what color is this dress?

 

[speculawyer]

I've got red/green colorblindness so . . . whatever.

 

[Floridian]

Dress is white & gold now. Come on guys it's obvious.

 

[A-V-B]

How could that be black?

It ain't.

I mean, the actual numbers are right there. In real life it may be black, but with all the extra variables in this image, it leads us to.. a color where red and green dominate!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Alright, so I saw it as white and gold, but when I read the quote on how it can look blue I swear the white kinda turned slightly blue, its still white overall but I can see a blue tint all of a sudden on it.

 

[Ultratech]

Blue and Black...though it does look quite overexposed.

 

[ratcliffja]

Yeah this is weird. My eyes are terrible, but I only see blue and black. Did the link in the OP change?

 

[The Shogun]

In all seriousness what the hell is the science behind the color changing for those of us that have seen both

I do not understand whats happening

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

YES

This, so very this.

I will spend the rest of my life trying to see black, but I will never see it.

But do you at least see that it's clearly black fabric with light shining on it distorting the colour, or does it literally look like gold fabric to you?

 

[MiszMasz]

Probably already posted somewhere but I'm not digging through.

Uh

Haha.

 

[Acerac]

I just don't understand this question at all.

 

[Chezzymann]

I think its less of a case of people having "worse" eyes and more of a case of a really shitty photo and people interpreting it in different ways as a result, regardless of what color the dress actually is.

 

[Beaniedude]

It's freaking white and freaking gold.

It's white and gold people!

 

[Ralemont]

Blue and black. The black looks like it was painted over gold with little bits of the gold seeping through.

 

[Brannon]

I am supposed to believe have better eyes?

http://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.htm

I put those values into the color value table here and it's between yellow and red according to that. The mystery deepens!

 

[Barzul]

Black and blue folks are mutants.

 

[VisceralBowl]

GUYS! QUICK! WHAT COLOR IS THIS CRAYON?!!??!?

purple

 

[Regiruler]

I think the mind forms a sort of "key" when it sees the flat portion of trim that is less susceptible to shadows, and bases what it believes the rest of the trim's color to be based on that snippet. Thus, as you scroll your screen such that it's off-screen, or no longer in your focus, the color seems to shift. I.e. the brain tries to subconsciously factor in lighting in a 2D picture using context clues.

This is just a guess and may be total nonsense.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Who the fucks dress is that

 

[soundahfekz]

Dress is white & gold now. Come on guys it's obvious.

Nah it's a legit illusion

 

[23qwerty]

Yep, cause I just showed my mum the exact same pic and she said it was white and gold. Shit's weird.

Yeah that doesn't mean tumblr has an exploit in it that allows for the random changing of a photo post lol

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Blue and black with a light on it according to photoshop. The blue is blue haha

Okay by blue I meant dark blue lol.

If you want to be my baby it don't matter if you're black or white. - MJ

But seriously, OP pic I see white & gold.

 

[Mashing]

White and gold all the way.

 

[Zomba13]

It's white and gold. If you want to be picky you could say it's a darkish whitey blue because it's white in the shadows or something.

 

[Steamlord]

First it was blue and black, then it was white and gold and I can't change it back. Send help

Oh wait now it's blue and black again oh god

 

[illadelph]

blue and black squad we in here

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Do we know the source of the dress? Just show us the damn dress in proper lighting to prove it's white and gold?

 

[FUME5]

Very light blue and a dull gold.

This. I want to see the receipts.

Shit's white and gold. Turn off f.lux and up the brightness, and the white becomes whiteish blue.

 

[Komo]

Gross, dark yellowy/green and blue. That's what I see

 

[pariah164]

Looked at this on three different monitors. Blue and black every time. Asked my parents; they insist it's white and gold and now think I'm high.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

I can change the intensity of blue by shifting my head, but I can't see anything other than blue and black.

 

[Izuna]

But do you at least see that it's clearly black fabric with light shining on it distorting the colour, or does it literally look like gold fabric to you?

.... is this what is happening? I don't care if it is a black being exposed, I care about the colour in the actual image. It is no black, it is brown.

The options were white gold, or blue black. We just picked the ones closest to either. It doesn't look gold to be but it's more gold than BLACK.

88-71-40 is not black or even grey.

 

[L95]

Guys, come on, the dress is as yellow like the blonde hair on the chick in my avatar.

The original dress has been shown. I think it's on page 2 or 3. Many white and gold supporters (myself included) suddenly changed to black and blue after seeing the original picture. Just a warning.

Seriously? They're trilling us too?

This?

Is this the actual dress in the OP?

I want to see the dress in the OP, in the same context, but with different lighting to prove its supposed color.

 

[Jakeh111]

I don't see color, its 2015 people.

 

[SDCowboy]

I see what and gold...

 

[TAJ]

I don't give a good fuck what the original photo looks like. The one posted in the OP has been messed with. I could make a blue and black dress orange and magenta if I wanted.

A white dress will be the color of the light you shine on it. Green light, green dress. Red light, red dress.
Or it will be whatever color you change it to in Photoshop.

 

[Beaniedude]

OK, for all the people seeing blue and black, could you screen shot it and then upload it again?

I need to know.

 

[The Real Abed]

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because it looks to me like black and blue in the original photo. But even the girl I'm working with says white and gold. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

Actually I saw a different photo of the person wearing the dress and it was definitely white and gold if it's the same dress. So maybe it's the way the photo was taken. But still, to my eyes the OP photo is clearly black and blue.

 

[Phreaker]

I am freaking out. It was white/gold and I could not comprehend how people saw blue and black and when I scrolled back it was blue and black, like I'm being trolled.
