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

The mind can do some crazy things. This is kind of similar I think, where square A and B are the same colour but your mind sees them as different because it's compensating for the shadow.
Welp.

This is how I see it. Blue, baby blue, and a very light blue in some spots. Black, faded black, and gold-black or even brown in other spots. It is dominated by blue and black on the whole. I wish I could see this white-gold craziness."Can we stop the motherfucking debate?"
NO!

Do you see any white and gold in this?
is that where all the black and blue people are getting their answers from? a darker contrast?
If I gave you this fraction
9
__
3*3
How would you calculate it?
If I gave you this equation
9/3*3
How would you calculate it?
They are both the exact same equation.
However in case 1 you would do it 9/(3*3) and case two you would probably do it (9*3)/3

They make the same dresses in different colours you know. These things are mass produced.

Stop posting edited images!!
Welp.
I think I'm weird, because I'm having trouble getting this to work for me. When I first look at it, A and B appear different for a quick moment, but after a second they settle in and I can see that they are the same shade. And after I've been looking at it for a bit, I can't see A and B as different at all.
Using the OG image makes an even bigger contrast. I'm not understanding how anyone can see black and blue unless their monitor calibration is all screwy.
That's what it looks like to me.
To be clear, your answer should be 1 and then 9 for the bottom.

You're essentially just turning the lights out (simulated). Of course we're going to see more blue and black.Do you see any white and gold in this?

That shit's white and gold.
*watched this video
...ok now it's black and blue?
*went back to OP*
WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS IT BLACK AND BLUE NOW?!??!?!

What the fuck I can only see white and gold. No matter how I look at it or change screens it's always white and gold
Because it's obvious that the picture was taken in a bright environment and the picture's colors are washed out. It's not gold, it only looks gold in the picture.

...yes it is.
I meant that it's not the exact same dress. It obviously has the same design. But it's a different dress because of the different colors.

I see blue, but that doesn't convince me that the dress is actually blue. It's just the shade upon the white that makes it look blue.
right, but the question was what we saw in the original picture. I simply saw light blue and a dull gold color. I just have trouble understanding how you can see colors that aren't there, or, perhaps more accurately, not see colors that are there. I'm kinda annoyed I can't get the trick to work for me. I just see blue and gold.
Brilliant
You don't see any brown/gold in there, it's still black in both pics???
It's the exact same dress man.
It's not the same question. The first is a fraction. If they were the same question then it would always be done with the multiplication first. The second isn't the same.
The fact that we calculate them different shows that it isn't the same question even to yourself, otherwise you would have no reason to write it differently.
They both have different answers.
Someone actually claimed in this thread that people who see white and gold have mental issues. Which is completely absurd considering the actual pixels are gold. Your brain has to add extra information for you to see it as black.
Nicely played.

Oh OH, so now it's "light grayish blue" and "dark brown orange" huh?
Give it another few minutes and you'll be saying "Blueish blue" and "darkish black". You're coming around, my friend. Don't worry about what the computer pixels tell us. THE MACHINES ARE LYING.

At first I saw white and gold. Now all I can see is blue and black...
How Can The Dress Be Real If The Colors Aren't Real.
How Can The Dress Be Real If The Colors Aren't Real.
Because there's an intense light shining down on it and the exposure is way off. Pure black dye does not actually exist, usually it's a really dark brown. Under the kind of intense lighting in the photo it appears brown (or gold if you will).
This optical illusion should explain what's going on here. Your mind will compensate colors based on previous context. That's why people "correctly" see the dress as blue and black despite the yellow turning the black a goldish hue.
This is crazy.
The dress is black and blue.
Sony copied MS again geez
I'm starting to think some people just have displays that are calibrated a bit different so midtones appear darker, and so they are able to see it as blue and black. I think this must be the explanation.
OH, I see what you're saying. If we're going solely by what we see, yes, I see blue and gold (although I only see gold on the top, presumably where the light is hitting most, and black for the rest of the lace). What my mind is telling me, however, is that it's all black.
They shouldn't though they are the exact same equation. That's why you put parenthesis in place to make sure things are interpreted correctly. On the bottom one either interpretation is correct.

This...I get that the original dress is probably blue and black...HOWEVER...and photoshop backs this up clearly...in this poorly exposed photo, it's golden brown and blueish white...

no fucking way, brother.
the only way that would be feasible is if the original photo that started all this was photoshopped to look white and gold.
Holy fuck...
So I'm about to go to bed and I just saw the white and gold dress on dead spin. Go down to the comments to see what people are saying. Some dude starts freaking out describe that the same image he looked at earlier switched colors on him. After that I literally scroll back up, and the dress looks black and blue to me now! I go back to the this thread and I see the black and blue dress... Wtf..
How do I make it go back? BTW, during this time, all my lights are off and I'm using my Nexus 7.

Yup. When I saw this image while scrolling down my FB feed it was white/gold, now all I see is black/blue
these are the shades in the dress in the original image.
it's correct that the blue shade is blue, but how can you see the gold shade as black? I just don't get it.
Imagine that the black had a solid yellow laid on top of it with a transparency of 50%. The black would look gold. That's what's happening. The picture IS actually gold, but in context its black. Same with the blue, but blue and yellow are incensed if each other. The reason the blue looks white is because blue and yellow cancel each other out.

I feel like a minority since I don't see white and gold or blue and black
I see light blue and goldish brown
is goldish/tanish/brown
that being said some other pictures have been clearly white and gold and blue and black that have been posted in this thread, but the one in the OP as it is, is neither, though I could easily believe that with proper lighting/exposure it could be either.
