It's washed out black, yes.
The colors of this photo will appear different to everyone. I think?

Some people's brains are filling in the gaps and presenting the dress as it would look in person. Others are seeing the dress as it was photographed.

That's exactly what happened to me.

you see that looks gold to me now.. but the stripes on the rest of the dress are black :\
This is frying my brain
Nope, always black and blue for me. Even in the pictures were the dress has been overly exaggerated with contrast or lightning. In those pictures the top of the dress is black/gold, but in the lower part it's mostly still black. When it comes to blue vs white, it's light blue, which is still blue!

That's true for every color seeing - in the end it's your brain that decides what's what - but in this case the people who see this as white/gold are factually wrong, as the dress is not that color, and from what I understand it's due to small physical differences in the retina of the eye. Maybe color blindness is bad term for this. This is more like a selective optical illusion that some people fall for, and some don't I guess. As opposed to most other color optical illusions that everyone falls for.

White and gold. I can see a tad of blueish color due to lighting or shitty quality.
Black and blue are a bunch of liars.

its just an optical illusion where the colors are right inbetween a white and gold dress in blue light and a black and blue dress in yellow. i dont understand why that completley false tumblr explaination is still in the OP.
When you are looking at an image and it drastically changes colours as you look at it and it's not a .gif, then that's unusual as hell. This photo is a naturally occurring optical illusion that has fooled about 75% of the people who look at it. How is that not interesting?
These are the haves and havenots. Blue and Black master race confirmed. White and Gold peasant class confirmed.

People are still argueing about this like it's objective? This is how wars get started. My perception of the dress changes depending on how my eyes adjust from one minute to the next.
Because the way you perceive the image depends on what light sources you think are in the image.
If you think it's the sun outside and shade inside, you will see it as white and gold.
If you think it's the sun outside and a direct yellow spotlight on the dress, rather than just shade, you will see black and blue.

This picture was clearly white/gold the first 10 times it was shown to me. Now it's switched over to blue/black and I can't make it go back to the way its supposed to be :/

That's how I am today. I swear to god I saw white and gold yesterday on my phone and today I'm seeing blue and black on my phone. I feel like someone is pulling my leg here. -.-
Thing is that I saw the white and gold image on facebook and thought that it was just edited. I opened it in photoshop and it was still white and gold in my eyes, so I used the eyedropper tool and it was identifying the colors as I was watching them in the dress (still white and gold).
Then, a couple of minutes later, I see the same image from the same post on facebook and it looked clearly black and blue. Then I go to photoshop (I left the document open) and to my surprise, it looked fucking black and blue there as well.
What's your address, so we can settle this?

It must have something to do with lightning. I saw the thread this morning, the dress was clearly white/gold and no matter what I tried (brightness, distance) I could not make it blue/black. Then I showed it to a friend in school (on the same laptop) and the exact same picture had turned blue/black (or at least blue/dark brown) and I couldn't believe my eyes. Now, I'm back home again and the dress is white/gold
This is messing with my mind.

I think the spinning dancer is a bigger mindfuck than this.

Sounds like most of GAF has been skipping their regular optometrist checkups, cause that is a blue and black dress all day, every day.
