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

This remind me so much of that rotating shadow girl gif

Some people see her rotating to the right, and other people see her rotating to the left. Some can even control the direction, like me.

edit: too late
 
I have this strange feeling 99% of this thread is people arguing semantics of what color they see being represented in the picture (which has been verified by image editors over and over as greyish blue and brownish/gold) vs. what color they think the dress is IRL and compensating verbally, not visually, for the lighting in the picture (the picture looks to have a yellowish light to the whole thing so they assume minus the yellow, the dress is black).

That or you all have the absolute worst monitors, screens, and color vision possible.
 
Jesus Christ. Just came back in the thread and fucking thing is blue and black now??? Seriously, was white and gold before.
 
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE. It was white and gold, on my PC, my phone, different brightness levels, white and gold. Now it's blue and black. Duuuuude.
 
Totally bizarre. Can't even fathom how anyone sees this as something other than black and blue. Makes me wonder how many other things people see differently than me (and vice versa).

If I had to guess their monitors are probably calibrated incorrectly.
 
If you see white and gold, try getting as far away from your monitor as you can. That toggles it to blue and black for me, and it persists even when I get closer. Then it slowly switches back to white and gold.
 
Running this through photoshop I copied the hex and searched it and got this http://www.colorhexa.com/8898bc

It seems to resemble pageant song.

These colors are important because these kinds of blue and blueish-gray may often blend in with whites and grays.

Inverting the image also proves that the dress is blue as well. The opposite of the blue and purple spectrum is yellow and bits of orange (or gold).

Still gold and white here. I have yet to see it any other way and baffled by everything I'm reading. Even that illustration with the "blue shade" is still whitish and gold (both sides).
 
It means your perception is contextual, which is normal.

Take the spinning girl illusion:

It can spin either way depending on what your brain thinks.

i remember this one blowing my mind. i worked it out though, and can make it change on demand. i feel powerful
 
I love the Amazon reviews for this dress:

"What a great dress! It's like having two for the price of one"

"This dress made me realize that reality is a meaningless fiction and all of life is merely a grand cosmic suggestion. I returned it and got something cuter."
 
Two hours ago I couldn't have been more adamantly in the white and gold camp. Now I come back to this and I see nothing but blue and black. The weirdest fucking thing.
 
It's a washed out black with a washed out blue the camera's taking in too much light and the color balance is set wrong.

If you isolate it from the background it's incredibly easy to see.

I'm one of the chosen who can see both, and right now that looks white.

EDIT: Well, it's blue now...

That's exactly what happened with me. Same monitor and everything. HOW.
 
Looks blue and gold to me. The backlighting in that pic is way fucked, though. Also, people's monitors/phone can have vastly different gamma settings.
 
I almost feel like I'm out of the loop because I can't understand how it can be seen as white and gold. Then again I guess all you on the other end of the spectrum must feel the same. This is frustrating.
