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

Seriously. Not even a hint. I don't know how anyone can see white or gold in there. I'm irrationally angry about this fucking dress right now.
I think this might be a social experiment.

It's obviously White/Gold... I know it's supposed to be Blue/Black though but whyyy?
Ill do it again.
This is the image I'm using

"White"
This is the "Gold"
I took 2 samples from different locations.
Let's try this guys. I isolated a single pixel of the image and filled the entire screen with it.
This is the "white" part.
This is the "gold" part
Fuck you. You lied.

I think I know what causes people to see one over the other "initially". It's due to us in today's world being very used to artificial lighting. I went around the house which has different lighting conditions and looked at the same objects. If you spend time look at "white" under different lighting, the image will look different for you.
Try it.
Also what happens is that when we decide the colour of an object, we don't decide on its colour immediately. We want to see it from different angles, lighting, and the colour of things we know for sure around it.
Ever ate cereal in coloured lighting where the milk turns orange? It freaks you out for a second but you try your best to understand if it really is or not.
The fuck kind of math are you doing?
Yeah, I even explained similarly that I originally thought the dress was in blue lighting and thought using warmer colors would correct it, much like I and few others did for the Zelda demo footage. But I was wrong and my brain was misinterpreting the image and once I got that extra bit of detail I now only see it in blue. It's really fascinating!
If those samples are accurate, than that is entirely true. At least I can accept that more than Blue/Black

There is no shadow on the front of the dress. The dress is in a direct light source from the front. If it helps you visualise, it's coming from the left of the image causing a light shadow where the jacket sits.

Holy fucking shit, I just saw https://imgur.com/gallery/TWVCO and now I see it's actually black and blue and I can't stop seeing it. Now that I see the objects to the left as black and white clothing every time I scroll down to them the dress turns black and blue. I could've sworn it was gold. Like literally it was white and gold, and then I scrolled down to the black and white objects, and the dress became black and blue.
I'm flipping out lol.

Yep could be right.
Its all happening subconsciously so its hella interesting what causing the brains to bias either side or to switch.
So weird
You have ascended! Congrats! Blue blue!
MOTHERFUCKER. I just opened this picture and the one in the OP in separate tabs and stared at the the one above for a minute then looked at the original again. It
fucking switched to black and blue for about 2 seconds then slowly faded to white and gold again. I tried it again and now the original picture looks very blue (more blue than before, and the yellow is a very dark brown)
This is so weird.
You're only 286 off
Its not black/blue, nor is it white/gold. Its actually cerulean. And youre also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent
wasnt it who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and its sort of comical how you think that youve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, youre wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of 'stuff'.
You're probably not going to believe me-- But I just read this and basically said to myself 'the dress is blue' (and I've been firmly in team gold/white the whole time).
Well, fuck me with a tire iron but now it's blue and I can't see it any other way.
HOLY......same thing happened to me
PEMDAS? First parenthesis so 9+3 then Multiplication 12*2 then Division 48/24 = 2
Same thing happened to me as well.

This is exactly what came to my mind.
Whoa. This totally turned me. I've been going nuts for an hour now seeing only white and gold. Everywhere and under every condition. But now I can't unsee the blue and black. It's like someone painted all of my screens or something.
Unreal! Just a minute ago that dress was clearly solid white and faded gold. Now it is a deep blue and solid black. What the what.
Wow, what the hell.
While the OP image remains the same to me, I saw this image as a very convincing solid blue and dark black before. Now I just scrolled past it and see a cyan-like white and a gold color with blue dumped over top of it in photoshop.
I have this image open in a tab so I know that there is no image switching going on, and I just looked at it and it is back to solid blue and obvious black.
What the fuck is going on. I think staring at DarkGAF is at least helping to change it.
Congrats, you are an ascendant. Welcome to the gold and or blue...
...
guys, is GAF gold really gold?
Multiplication and Division are the same step of PEMDAS. You do both of them from left to right. Same goes for Addition and Subtraction
LMAO
Let's try this guys. I isolated a single pixel of the image and filled the entire screen with it.
This is the "white" part.

Are these the darker part of the image? try and do this with the lighter part of your colors
48÷2(9+3)
There's' probably already a thread on this, but it's:
48/2 (12)
(48/2) (12)
24 x 12 = 288

Most likely. Its still an illusion though but yes it looks like its the brain causing the mix up

Why is this happening
yeah no
Multiplication and division have the same priority, as do addition and subtraction. Operators further to the left take precedence when there's a conflict.
Stupid grade school mnemonics mess everything up. I before e except after c is also bullshit.

He wasn't alone.
White and gold look so good on the Veyron.
