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

I just showed both my parents the image without any other information. They said White and Gold. I see Black and Blue. I guess this is legit.

Blue and black team, open that shit in Photoshop, isolate the colors in the op.

Can someone please do that and post the results ?
I see white and gold (I mean, it's more brown than gold but whatever), I'd love to know what the colors of the image really are.
 
Guys...I was adamant it was white and gold.

Now it's clearly Blue and Black.

This is how wars start isn't it?

It's fucking white and gold. You blue and black heathens just need to shut up and go away. You're wrong and we don't like you because you are liars.
 
:( I am angry at all of you.

I don't want to live in a world where people see that as black and get to say their eyes are better. Not scientific, I want a professor with a PHD (a real personal health degree) to tell me what's going on.

In seriousness though. There are images here that take the colours out with RGB values and everything. No one on blue and black has ever actually said the clear brown pixels are black. So they must be overcompensating something.

No.

You don't understand the illusion.

I've looked at this dress and it was CLEARLY white and gold. No question. 10 minutes later I looked again and its TOTALLY Black and Blue. So much so it could be 2 different pictures.

This is maybe the most bizarre illusion I've ever seen

No. I understand the illusion. One version is looking at the photo as it is, as a bunch of colors, and the other is with your eyes trying to adapt to the apparent overexposure of the photo, giving you different colors.

This happening in real life would be a different thing, just seeing the colors that are actually being displayed in screen is something else.
 
WTF? It was white/light blue and gold in the OP hours ago.
Then I came back to this thread again, I now see blue and black in the OP? And the OP wasn't edited?
The fuck is going on.
I'm scared.

I don't even consider this a controversy or laugh at the people who see white and gold. Your eyes have issues. I pity you like I pity people with other diseases.

Sorry bud.

It's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

It's whatever your brain currently thinks it is.

If you look at a version of the image that has been adjusted to look a deeper blue, going back to the image will make it more blue, but give your eyes a little more time and it will revert back to white-blue and faint gold.

I assume this has... basically everything to do with the sensitivity of the human eye to the color blue, PLUS the effect of constant exposure.

This is a masterpiece of an optical illusion. Who the fuck made this?

Its legit. I've asked a few people now and everyone is saying different stuff. I gave them zero info before hand just asked what colors they see.

This has broken my brain
 
Holy shit! It just changed colors for me

Pic in OP looked white and gold everytime I looked at it. Scrolled further down the page to read other replies, and noticed the OP mentioned the angle of your phone potentially altering perception of the colors.

I'm using my iPad and at this point the pic was fully offscreen. So I tilted the screen and scrolled up slightly, and sure enough it was blue and black. I was so surprised I flipped the screen back and now it's white and gold again.

Can't get the effect to repeat itself, though.
 
I see blue and like a brown/gold. More towards a muddy dark brown. Guess you could say black.

Hasn't changed for me.

I'm tired
 
The photo changes depending on your eyes. I've seen both. If you see white and gold, shift your monitor/phone like one of those holographic cards and you'll see black and blue.
 
Weird, on my phone I was seeing white and gold, but on my monitor I'm seeing blue and gold. (not blue and black.) WTF does that mean?

On my monitor and I still see blue and gold. Hmm.

I guess I might be the only person on earth seeing that.

Whew! Me too.
 
It was white and gold to me, but then just seeing the bottom half of dress, it started to look blue and black. If you're monitor has less than perfect viewing angles, look up at the screen from a low position and it's blue and black.

Blue-ish color is:

R: 129
G: 146
B: 192

Black is:

R: 73
G: 57
B: 41

Note that to me the blue is a blue-ish grey, the black definitely has some gold mixed in (making it closer to brown in most areas), and for the spot I eyedropped, the colors shown in color picker spot it between blue and white and black and gold almost exactly. To me it definitely looks blue and not white, and the black is definitely the dominant color rather than gold.
 
Alright, I'm out of this thread. I think I've found an explanation that's satisfying enough for me, and we're starting to go in circles.

It's a picture of a black and blue dress, that is all washed out or over-exposed or whatever. Because of that, the actual image has white-ish and gold-ish colors. The pixels, that is. So people who are trying to find the color of the actual pixels in the image see white and gold. While people trying to find the color of the actual dress that has been photographed see blue and black. Because the black and blue people know the actual color of the dress, their minds make the picture look black and blue. And it's a very persistent illusion. I still can't get back to white and gold. The people who say white and gold are correct that that is the color of the pixels in the image, even if it is not the color of the dress itself.

I think someone else made this comparison before with a picture of the White House, but it's the perfect explanation: If you look at a picture of the White House, in a shadow, it will look slightly blue in those parts. The pixels of that part of the image will even be blue. But the White House itself is still...white.

The only reason this is an argument is because people are arguing past each other without bothering the clarify definitions. I think most people would agree with this summary: The picture is a picture of a black and blue dress that, due to being over exposed, is represented in the image with white-ish and gold-ish pixels.

Alright, that's my speech. Have fun, guys.
