Blue and Gold master race reporting in.

 

[FO-totality]

 

[The Artisan]

Yaaaaay!

But see, most people here had them fix the illusion themselves. I had to look at that to figure it out.

 

[mentallyinept]

It was black and blue for me earlier while I was sitting in my fully lit living room.

Now that I'm looking at this on my phone with the lowest brightness in the dark, it's white and gold.

 

[Whogie]

Tried on a bunch of screens. It's consistently blue/gold.

 

[Paper Sparrow]

I had no knowledge of what was to come. Nor did I care. How the knowledge changed me... It will also change you. As you read this, you will come to learn dress colors as I have. You too, will come to understand, or you will be confused. To think that once I could not see beyond the illusions, to see the true colors that dwell behind. My life now has purpose, for I have learned the frailty of reality. I was once a fool…

Blue Black are the ones with high functioning retinas. We #masterrace

 

[idlewild_]

Great, first it was white and gold. Then it was blue and black. Now it is light blue and gold. How fucked are my eyes?

 

[AlphaDragoon]

I see blue and black.

 

[borborygmus]

I have a pretty nice monitor bro. I see nothing but blue and black from the beginning.

Alright.

I'm still wondering about those people who see it as black/blue under certain angles only.

BuzzFeed have put it nicely for those that are correct and see it as blue and black,

[Daingurse]

Still only seeing white and gold.

 

[Braag]

Blue and black... I was confused by first replies saying white and gold. Then I read the article

 

[MisterNoisy]

Blue and black, though the black is reflecting the yellowish ambient light.

 

[J@hranimo]

White and gold. White is a little blueish, but that could be due to the image quality or the lighting.

I can't even fathom seeing black in the gold. I wear glasses and I'm near-sighted but I know that has nothing to do with it. I guess all of our eyes are a bit different.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

It was white and gold for me at first, but looking again after seeing this image it's black and blue HELP

WHAT THE FUCK


EDIT: NOW ITS BACK TO BEING WHITE AND GOLD


EDIT: BLUEANDBLACK WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUCK

 

[Floridian]

#teamblueblack since the very beginning brehs.

 

[Wyndstryker]

I think those of us who has seen the actual transitions between blue/black and white/gold have a whole new perspective on reality. Mainly cause we've been in both camps and knows how both sides feel.

 

[Niel]

Like light blue and a really ugly brown...

But then again, I'm colorblind so whatever.

I hate that site, why did you make me click?


I see black and blue. So I'm better than you white gold people.

 

[-MD-]

I saw gold/white for hours but someone suggested to turn the light off and back away from the monitor. It instantly changed to black/blue and now it's all I see.

 

[plainr_]

It's white with grayish/bluish tint and gold.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

If I focus really hard and squint I can almost get it Black/blue but as soon as I unfocus it's white/gold.

 

[elelunicy]

Why do the colors of the actual dress even matter? The only thing that matters is what the colors in the photo are. You can be "right" being that you see the same colors as the real life dress, but still wrong in that you see different colors than what is in the picture.

Exactly. Your eyes are supposed to see whatever actual colors that are in the picture (which are gold and lightish blue). I don't consider 'the ability' to see the dress as black and blue a good thing.

 

[Storm Raider]

I feel bad for everyone that thinks it's white and gold.

Been proven to be blackish gold and blue by hundreds of media outlets and you can do it yourself in Photoshop with a color picker.

Edit: I guess our color spectrum is on FULL

Everyone else got crushed blacks

 

[borborygmus]

Just tried that and it didn't work for me.

I'm seeing a lot of monitor-specific reports, which still leads me to suspect monitor issues.

 

[Robot Pants]

Earlier tonight I thought it was so white.

Now it's the bluest god damn dress I've ever seen.

yup

 

[SSPssp]

It means your monitor has a blue tint to it. Check the screen tones settings
The photo itself has very light blue tones, if the settings in your monitor are even slightly blue, then you will see stronger blues than everyone else.

Thanks. Also good to know this is all bogus.

 

[saturnine]

First it was white and gold, then I scrolled down, went back to the photo and it was blue and brownish. My heart skipped a beat, wow.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Exactly. Your eyes are supposed to see whatever actual colors that are in the picture (which are gold and lightish blue). I don't consider 'the ability' to see the dress as black and blue a good thing.

Seriously idk how anyone can disagree with a pixel value.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

we need a poll on this so we know who's eyes suck and see white and gold

 

[dragonelite]

I just watched it was light blue and dark goldish without lenses,
now with lenses its blue and black.

 

[borborygmus]

Blue and black my ass. I don't care what color the real dress is "supposed" to be. The colors in the picture are not blue and black.

Hmm...

 

[Kimaka]

The actual colors are blue and black with some gold. I did it with the eye dropper tool and the majority of pixels on the dress were a shade of blue and black.

 

[amar212]

All these "white & gold" posts. You're all aliens. I see black & blue.

This.

 

[GoodCoffeeJoey]

Blue and black, with some black parts appearing gold. At first I thought it was blue and gold.

 

[Storm Raider]

Hmm...

Exactly my point.

Not white and gold.

Blackish gold and blue.

Hm..

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Why are people acting like "light blue" isn't blue? It's a shade of blue, not a wholly distinct color.

 

[enzo_gt]

First it was white and gold now it's pale blue and gold.

Oh my god.

 

[params7]

WHAT THE FUCK


EDIT: NOW ITS BACK TO BEING WHITE AND GOLD


EDIT: BLUEANDBLACK WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUCK

your eyes aren't stable bro. I suggest you stay away from the image.

 

[-Deimos]

Ok after a couple hours I'm now seeing light blue/purple and black. The black parts have a gold reflection/tint.

 

[Lime]

What do you get if you are able to see both? Can I put it on my CV?

 

[yogloo]

The sky is so white today.

 

[params7]

Blue and black my ass. I don't care what color the real dress is "supposed" to be. The colors in the picture are not blue and black.

Why did you put in blue and black squares in the picture?

 

[borborygmus]

Why are people acting like "light blue" isn't blue? It's a shade of blue, not a wholly distinct color.

Because it could be global illumination / radiance combined with lighting conditions causing a slight blue tinge on what is overall a rather white looking fabric.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Why are people acting like "light blue" isn't blue? It's a shade of blue, not a wholly distinct color.

I mean, I see some shades of blue in the dress, but its very light and mostly white. Is this exercise dependent on our personal definition of "blue"?

 

[J@hranimo]

The sky is so white today.

Funny, where I'm at the sky is black O___O

 

[billeh]

It's actually a blue and black dress, you have the inferior eyes.

 

[Benzychenz]

Why are people acting like "light blue" isn't blue? It's a shade of blue, not a wholly distinct color.

White in bad lighting looks like pale white blue.

Technically yeah, the pixels are blue, but looking at the photo just looks like white with bad lighting.

None of that really matters if it's a way overexposed photo and it's actually a dark blue though.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Blue as hell. Periwinkle and brown to be precise.
