Didn't we have this same issue on NeoGAF when I chose blue as the self-post highlight color and a lot of people couldn't differentiate it against adjacent white posts?

 

[Pop]

Some of y'all need new eyes

Clearly blue and black

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

It was blue and black for me on Facebook. On here, it was white and gold. I immediately went back to Facebook and it was blue and black still, but when I came here the dress was blue and black instead of the white and gold I saw before. Weird.

 

[nib95]

No change.

Weird, seems to work for me. Though I do need to stare at the gold neck area for a good 5 seconds or so for it to work. The the predominant colours I'm seeing right now though, are a dull and washed out blue and black.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

OK so I originally saw white and gold. After seeing many people saying it was black and blue I was convinced they were trolling. However I remembered that spinning shadow girl with her leg stuck out. I was able to switch between the direction I saw her spinning depending on where I looked and how I chose to perceive it. I decided to attempt the same with this dress.
It turns out it's pretty simple to go between the different colours. It's just a matter of perception. Are the bright areas hhighlights on a dark colour or are the dark areas shadow on a brighter colour. If you focus intently on one or the other before taking in the rest of the picture you should be able to perceive it either way.

So I can do this to switch between blue and white now, but I can't do this to switch between gold and black. I've never seen the black in that.

Loving #teamblackblue posting "real" pics of the dress. Yes, because I'm sure that dress only exists in one colour style.

Its white gold that's shaded.

Your eyes and the the image processing part of your brain are failing to compensate for the overexposure in the picture. The camera didn't compensate for it either, as it captured the effect of the overexposure, hence the RGB values you're getting.

There is no failure involved, since the overexposure is not real! We see what's there, light blue and brown..

lol I remember that

 

[Blastoise]

Y'all have some shitty ass monitors.

It's white (very light blue) and gold.

Many years from now when I sit my grandkids on my lap, and they ask me how the great war started, I shall point them to this thread.

The self-post hightlight color is gold, though....

 

[Soul Beat]

Someone ask Kamiya his opinion on this matter!

Spoiler

I would do it myself, but I don't wanna get blocked.

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

Anyone who HUELEN01'd this dress should be banned. Let the purge commence!

 

[Zalusithix]

Pale blue and black(ish) on calibrated monitors. Dress isn't anywhere close to white, and the "gold" would have to be a pretty damn dark and dirty gold to interpret that as gold. More like a dark neutral color reflecting a warm light.

I find it rather amazing that some people see the blue as a white.

 

[OTIX]

I guess it's all down to how our brains interpret the lighting conditions in the image. If your brain thinks the bright yellow light is behind the dress then the side of the dress we see is in shadow and the brain automatically adjusts to this and sees a white dress in shadow, since the light is yellow the shade will be tinted blue. On the other hand if your brain thinks that the light is shining directly onto the dress then your brain will correct in the other direction and you see a blue dress that is overexposed by the bright yellow light.

Or maybe the blue/black people are just crazy, I dunno.

Nope.

 

[Izuna]

I cannot see anything other blue or brown. Stop asking about what it would look like without exposure or say things like your mind is failing to compensate for anything.

I wanna say the actual colour of the image.

I was far more "white and gold" then "blue and black" because I imagined the "blue" meant like sonic blue. Black to me means black.

No one here means "black" black. Or "white" white. Just no way.

I also want people who say gold to actually find another image with the same gold colour. Hold to a lot of people is bright and Super Sonic gold.

 

[Mortemis]

Just curious, has anyone went from Black and blue to white and gold?

Seems like it's only the white/gold group finally seeing the right colors.

LOL, you're right, it's blue and brown, obviously. The dress is black/blue, but the pic is blue/brown. Now calm down.

You must introduce me to these stores that use blue disco balls for lighting.

 

[The Shogun]

When I saw White / Gold it wasn't a light blueish White. It was wedding dress white and gold.

Now I see deep blue and jet black.

[Orbis Tabula]

All of you, Roman Originals clearly sell the White base version.

If this company has any sense at all, they'll release a white and gold version.

 

[jasonng]

What the fuck is going on, I first saw it gold and white. I jumped to the last page then back to the first. THE FUCKING DRESS TURNED BLACK AND BLUE RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES.

 

[Rhaknar]

White and gold, and my eyes are shit

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

I see white and gold.

It's white and gold.

It's white and gold

.

 

[KarmaCow]

The internet is a dumb place but I really can't tell if people seriously believe the colours are swapping. Can't wait to hear about this in a month from my parents.

 

[Zomba13]

This is how I imagine it looks under proper lighting:

I guess I'll just have to learn to accept that it's wrong.

Exactly. That is how I see the dress as being in proper lighting. If people want what "colours are the pixels in this picture" then you could say a sort of dark yellowy brown and a greyish pale blue.

 

[Knightmarre]

Black and blue on laptop. White and gold on desktop. Must have something to do with the displays.

 

[RCSI]

Just curious, has anyone went from Black and blue to white and gold?

Seems like it's only the white/gold group finally seeing the right colors.

I seem to go back and forth depending on the surrounding colors and my brain processing the colors.

 

[MUnited83]

Holy crap, i thought gold and white people were trolling. I saw black and blue on my laptop but i just checked the thread on my phone with low brightness.... Mindblown.gif

 

[Slayer-33]

When I saw White / Gold it wasn't a light blueish White. It was wedding dress white and gold.

Now I see deep blue and jet black.

What

Still white gold

 

[Courage]

black and yellow

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Holy shit GAF ahhhhhhh first I saw it white and gold (here and here) but then my friend sent me the image and now I see it blue and black. Halp!! I don't want to be burned with the rest of the witches, I am one of you

 

[LiK]

 

[Troubled Bat]

I can't see the colors!?

 

[Steamlord]

So Roman Originals must have started all this, right? Because this is like the greatest marketing trick ever.

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Well, the dress changed to white and gold for me again. This has all been on my phone. I wonder if I would have had different results using my IPS monitor.

 

[Cloudius12]

Seeing it as a whole. White and Gold.

Seeing lower half only. Blue and black.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

We could argue the tint of the black sections of the dress... because of the light they seem a bit brownish.

But the blue is so very clearly blue. Where do the white comments come from?

Because those of us with working eyes know that white can look light blue in the shade. Hence, we know its white and gold. Which it is.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

I'm already red-green colorblind; I can't handle anymore of this shit.

I see white and gold.

 

[CMojicaAce]

I'm seeing blue and gold. However the gold on the bottom half seems closer to black than gold.

 

[Robot Pants]

saw white and gold originally. after having scrolled up, blue and gold.

 

[Izuna]

Seeing it as a whole. White and Gold.

Seeing lower half only. Blue and black.

Light blue and table brown.

The white is actually a light tan color and the black parts are see through. When you add shitty overexposure and odd lighting you get the light blue and gold dress in the OP.

Case closed.

 

[WedgeX]

What the fuck is going on, I first it gold and white. I jumped to the last page then back to the first. THE FUCKING DRESS TURNED BLACK AND BLUE RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES.

Jassonng I don't know how to tell you but....

you've got average eyes.

I am sorry.

We can still be friends.

 

[Floridian]

Seeing it as a whole. White and Gold.

Seeing lower half only. Blue and black.

This pic u could argue that it has a dark-brown like color along with the blue

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Seeing it as a whole. White and Gold.

Seeing lower half only. Blue and black.

White and gold

 

[L95]

What if I saw black/deep blue and now see gold/blue tinted white? ;-;

 

[THE Caffeinated]

I used the dropper tool to select one of the darker "black" areas.
