It's not that. We just have better eye genetics lol.
There was an explanation earlier, something about our retinas cones being of higher function.
Better genetics? I always knew I was awesome.

Did anyone post the xkcd on the subject?

That wasn't the original question. The actual dress didn't make the rounds until after this went viral.
yeah, it looks like black with a light gold filter over it to some, or gold with a light blue filter over it to others.
It's never changed for me.Hahahahaha
No, it has nothing to do with this. Or screen accuracy (I have been able to see both on a very poor screen at Uni for example), or genetics.
If you see white and gold the best thing I can tell you is to try scrolling up to the image.
So many of the same arguments. When it is common knowledge you can see both this will be the most legendary illusion ever,
Greyish-muddy-gold-black? Lol, I'm lost now. I was thinking that people were seeing black like the black in the other pictures.
Are people just seeing a darker shade of the color I'm seeing?
Indeed.the answer is NEITHER
Yep, it has nothing to do with the quality of eyesight, bad monitors or whatever. It's somewhat amusing seeing people who can see blue and black from the get go continuing to be asshole-ish about it. "Go get your eyes checked, you're all crazy", etc.Hahahahaha

I saw blue and dark gold at one point but now the gold is way darker and looks like a washed out black.could someone tell me if someone else thought it looks blue and gold?
I keep saying gold/white and blue/black but I see blue and gold...
I've been in this thread since page 1, it's always been what do you see, not what color do you think the dress is. The real dress was posted on page 1 as well.
guys please help me - is this dress white and gold, or blue and black? Me and my friends can’t agree and we are freaking the fuck out
Top half is white and gold, bottom half is navy blue and gold. Weird.
The post that started this all on Tumblr:
Indeed.
well, if the question is:
What colour do you think the dress is under normal lighting?
then a lot of answers are possible.
If the question is:
What colours are in this photo?
Then the answer is not black and blue and certainly not white with gold.
Is the entire world retarded? There is even an image underneath that shows what deep blue and black is. And please don't say that these two images look the same to anybody.
So i'm guessing most people answer the question with the colours they THINK the dresss is under normal lighting conditions.

i think so too, because we're asked what colour the dress is, not the hue values present in the jpeg.

You seem displeased.My girlfriend showed me this yesterday, figure the OP says the same BS about color changing due to mood. Figured it was just lighting. Seems like a stupid facebook-esqe FW:FW:FW:FW message.
This is where I would love to use another person's eye/brain lol.
I cannot imagine this being white and gold.
Ah fair enough, well when a two tone dress is the focus of the image and we're being asked white and gold or black and blue, it's pretty much the same thing. But yeah, don't worry, it's all just good fun manno, i don't see that question. i hate it taht people can't ask a specific question.
The question in the op is what colours do you see.
Anyway, i realise i'm being waay too authistic about this.
Identical colors look different depending on the background color.
Yeah, what Vulcano said ^
they're the same dress (color wise)
edit: well, shit.
Beaten.
I know what you mean, but no shade I've ever seen can turn a satin white dress into that dark of a shade of blue/purple, while also being in a place that's so brightly lit. Also, there's an actual white dress right next to it, that clearly shows there's not much of a shade there anyway.When most people are saying it's white, they're not saying the photo is white, they're saying the dress is white. The blue tint and dark gold/brown is what a white and gold dress would look like in the shade.
If you see it as white and gold, I'd recommend trying something. Scroll the OP so the main picture is off the top of the screen, and look at the two pictures below (where the dress is clearly blue). Then, very slowly scroll up so the original image creeps in from the top of the frame. Every whitegold I've done this with has had the image flip for them.
You seem displeased.
Yeah sorry, i realise that now, haha.Ah fair enough, well when a two tone dress is the focus of the image and we're being asked white and gold or black and blue, it's pretty much the same thing. But yeah, don't worry, it's all just good fun man![]()
Fuck, i'm outyou guys are crazy.
In the image, its white and gold. I am not saying "what color I think it is" I am saying what I am seeing.
Its gold and white.
Probably doesn't mean shit other than the colors on my monitor are better than most, but

96% Adobe RGB spectrum. I'd assume I had a better change to do this, but it still took quite a few back and forth adjustments before I was satisfied enough to press submit. Probably stared at this for 15 minutes with a couple of breaks to rest my eyes. Never worn glasses.
That said, only a very light greyish blue and definitely gold for me on that dress. YMMV.
good lord

"Light enters the eye through the lensdifferent wavelengths corresponding to different colors. The light hits the retina in the back of the eye where pigments fire up neural connections to the visual cortex, the part of the brain that processes those signals into an image. Critically, though, that first burst of light is made of whatever wavelengths are illuminating the world, reflecting off whatever youre looking at. Without you having to worry about it, your brain figures out what color light is bouncing off the thing your eyes are looking at, and essentially subtracts that color from the real color of the object. Our visual system is supposed to throw away information about the illuminant and extract information about the actual reflectance, says Jay Neitz, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington. But Ive studied individual differences in color vision for 30 years, and this is one of the biggest individual differences Ive ever seen." - x
I get that the internet obsesses about arbitrary stuff all the time but that people are sincerely and passionately arguing that it's conclusively one or the other is insane. your eyes are not broken. other people's eyes are not broken.
when facebook and tumblr discover the optical illusion books in their elementary school libraries and pediatricians offices everything is going to burn the motherfuck down
seems like the way the fabric of the dress is, the white light in the background goes through the fabric and gives it a white/really blow color through the blue parts, and a gold tinted look in the black parts. You would probably see it as white/light blue and gold in those conditions, from that angle. After all, the picture was taken because someone, from that angle, thought it looked white/gold.If I saw it in person, there's no fucking way I'd see a Black and Blue dress as White and Gold. It's the camera/LCD screen that's distorting the dresses colors, not my eyes. This is some bullshit.
Still black and blue in both images.
I used to paint, of the artistic variety, a lot, so color theory and how light affect color is also something I have a lot knowledge of.
I can see the tinges of color, though. My brain still processes blue and black.
Weird. When I looked at it this morning after I woke up it was very obviously white and gold, no question. But after a few hours it's now clearly blue and black.
Wtf
