I've been switching constantly for the past half an hour

Seriously every time I look back at it after closing my eyes for a bit or watching hockey or whatever, it turns from one to the other. It's switched at least 5-6 times by now.

It's so weird, though. Now every single version of that image looks solidly blue and black. I can't even imagine or remember how I saw white/gold in it so clearly just a few minutes ago.

 

[WesternHeretic]

I'm not joking here, I have no fucking idea how anyone is seeing anything other than white and gold.

Feels like I'm getting trolled or some shit tbh.

I feel like half of the earth's population is on some elaborate troll to convince me they see white/gold when in reality everyone knows it is black and blue.

 

[DJ88]

I was able to see both earlier, but my brain has stopped fighting itself and reality, so I'm currently firmly on #TeamBlue&Black. I can no longer see white or gold.

It's like....The hell was wrong with me earlier, right? What a jerk I used to be. Just a white and gold seeing jerk.

It's fucking crazy how hard it hits you right? I took courses in photography and film and somehow I could've sworn it was white and gold there for a while. I'm disgusted with myself.

 

[bomblord1]

You've got to be kidding. Even in the middle one?

I'm dead serious. The right I see normal blue and black. The middle I see blue black washed out. Left I see blue and black at an incorrect exposure.

 

[wandering goat]

I too saw white and gold first, but now it's 100% light blue and gold. I think at least part of it is white and gold people see the dress being in shadow, when it's not.

 

[EightBitNate]

All I see is black and blue

 

[Ralemont]

Has this been posted? Des it help anyone?

The middle brighter one looks like a really artifically brightened pic of a blue dress. I've messed around with brightness in Photoshop and it looks familiar.

 

[JaseMath]

I was solidly on team white/gold, to the point where I thought everyone saying black/blue for 10+ pages were trolling, but then I clicked that imgur link, scrolled down and looked at the guy's color corrected version for a bit, then when I scrolled back up I was shocked that the original appeared black/blue to me.

Same thing just happened to me. Mind magic!

I'm the same as him, its always blue and black.

74% white and gold what the fuck is wrong with those people??

 

[Scrooged]

lol

 

[BobLoblaw]

So are people that see white most likely to go blind or what? No way is there white in that thing.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

LTTP I can see either/or.

 

[Floridian]

This dress is iconic already.

 

[bomblord1]

This makes me want to go take a photo of the sky with my aperture too wide and the white balance wrong and see if people see white.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Still white and gold.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Ugh, he's looking at dresses instead of FINISHING THE BOOKS

RR PLS

You should go beat him gold and white.

 

[Dusk Soldier]

Has anyone been able to switch back?

I think it has to do with the lighting in your room. I tried shining a flashlight in my eye and succesfully got the picture to switch from white/gold to blue/black.

And now I'm back to white/gold....

This is what I think about anyone who see's black and blue because clearly it's white and gold. Even photoshop picks out a brown colour and that is no where near black or blue... I can understand why some people think the white part might be blue but shadowed white is grey / blue.

 

[evilromero]

I think it's funny how people are literally calling it blue because of the shadowing mixture on a white surface. So if I bring that dress out to direct light then they would just change their answer to white? Obviously we know more than what we see. We know it's a white surface that isn't literally white at that moment due to the lighting.

So if we put the White Ranger in similar lighting conditions he's the Light Blue Ranger all of a sudden?

Correct, this "Photoshop" data is meaningless if you're just pulling the color directly from the photo.

Edit: I mean the principle behind your thinking, not that the dress is actually white and gold. For the record, I still see it's white and gold, but I know the dress is actually blue and black (from that one Amazon link).

This post is making me far more angry than it should.

That shit's blue. It's blue no matter what.

You're only making this worse.

Hey everyone:

So yeah, can we all agree that colours are a lil bullshit?

 

[mickcenary]

Has this been posted? Des it help anyone?

BRIGHTER is clearly white and gold to me.

DARKER is clearly blue and black to me.

ORIGINAL is still white and gold to me, albeit with a blue hue because of the shadow/light. My brain is still telling me that the dress is white, though; not some grey-blue.

 

[Extra Sauce]

The "blue and black" people are conducting some sort of social experiment. They are saying the colors are blue and black to fuck with our heads.

 

[MrCunningham]

lol

That dress is as good as dead in the next season of Game of Thrones.

But we factually know it's blue under an artificial light, not white getting mixed with a shadow.

Invisible ink just got a whole lot easier to get hold of.

Yeah, me too. It is never initially black and blue for me

The person who took the photo says it was blue and black.

 

[Lowmelody]

[Philia]

Holy shit, am I fucking wrong? Man. I need to adjust my computer settings or something.

Apparently this dress is blue and black.

The dress is literally blue. Like, the actual dress. It's blue.

LTTP but this is a joke, right? Like one elaborate game that everyone online is playing like last year's ice bucket challenge?
