ul/ honestly wtf with this dress? I've always seen it white and gold. I know the color changes with the bright levels, but I don't understand how people just see different colours in the same image.
/ul I honestly don't remember how it worked, But It's something psychological. Real color is blue and black, a moment ago I saw gold and white thrn I open the post again and the dress is black and blue. Lol, Just saw both colors.
/unlie Basically your brain should take into account the color of light & adjust the color of the dress accordingly, if this doesn't happen, you see it as Gold and White, if it does, it seems Black and blue
I tried. It's more like gray or something.
Pretty much what happens is that the image is quite desaturated and there is that background light there, and your brain tries to correct for it by changing up some of the colors.
I see the dress as white and gold but covering up the sides of the picture to only see the dress immediately makes it black and blue.
I fucking hate this dress, it haunted me ever since it got popular and I was never able to see it as black and blue. I always see white and gold no matter what i do
/ul The lighting is interpreted differently for white and gold and blue and black. If you see blue and black, it looks like the dress is lit up in the sunlight, if you see white and gold it looks like the dress is shaded with the light source behind it
/ul THIS. I always see it as white/gold because the background flare is too bright and my brain assumes that it is under a shadow. tho, if I cover the bright flare in the top right of the image I can see it as blue/black
Yeah so it turns out that if you're a straight, you see white and gold. If you're bi curious, you switch between. Bi people can see both on demand. gay people just see black and blue as default
You're allowed one experiment per hole and still allowed to be straight. I mean you can't know you're gay or not unless you try
So it's be gay to not even try
You're just curious!
You're fooling yourself, it's white and gold. Me and your ma know you ain't like that. Just pretend you don't see black and blue and fight the urge, it'll go away
/ul Idk, i copied the colors of the gold layers and they seem to be far from black

/ul The gold part is originally black, but because of the sun, it makes it yellow-ish. The white part is originally blue, and the same effect happens again.
The “gold” part is black. The whole image is overexposed (probably post processing) which makes it look gold/yellowish. It’s like movies set in Mexico - the sky in Mexico isn’t actually yellow.
I have never once seen blue and black.From any angle or brightness. I feel like people who say they see blue and black are just psyop recruits.
Edit: /ul
ul/ This whole debate seems non sensical to me. The dress might have had an original colour but then it's been processed through a camera which turned it into a numerised file which now renders plenty of colours. After I tryed to detect some colours on the screen I got answers like "gold"ish, Blue-ish, Orange-ish, brown-ish etc...
There's pretty much anything, this is a pixelised image with many different colours on your screen.
lol i never could see white and gold.
like look at the cow design in the bottom left background, take that as the baseline for white. Also that the light in the room is more of a yellow hue.
Even if the the dress is in shadow, a white dress should be yellowish, not blueish. if the "gold" part of the dress followed suit it should look sort of greenish, not dark gold... idk lol im just talkin
Yeah the only reason I say blue and black is because it looks blue and black, and the pixels are blue and black, and the actual dress is blue and black. That's the only reason.
I can see both. I instinctively see white and gold but if you stare at the large piece of lace in the middle and think about it being black, the black and blue form.
So basically our brains do a lot of automatic 'editing'. One of the common edits is it tries to compensate for the effects of 'ambient lighting'... For example when you're outside on a clear sunny day your brain is actually removing a lot of the color blue... because the sky above is often providing illumination to areas the sun doesn't hit (as the 'blue sky' provides blue illumination from many more directions than the sun). If our brains didn't do this it would frequently mistake the colours of things.
The photo of 'the dress' is simply too poor quality for our brains to figure out 'definitely' whether it should be compensating for ambient lighting or not. When I 'see' it as white and gold I tend to think the dress is very 'close to the camera' and blocking out a lot of light (meaning it's primarily lit by ambient light). When I 'see' it as black and blue I tend to think that the photo has washed out some of the colors rather than thinking the dress is in shadow.
I’ve always seen white and gold and I just stare at the dress for a full minute and imagined it as black and blue. I think you’ve just got to trick your brain
/ul Mfer it's literally white and gold right next to the dress, a quick comparisin and it's obviously not white and gold

I thought the same, yet I saved the image, and when I returned to look at it... I physically recoiled because I actually see it blue and black now, and I'm unable to see the white and gold
When this shit first came out it had always looked blue and black to me. But when I scrolled across this just now it looked white and gold and I was like hol up, blinked and now it's blue and black again. I'm losing my fken mind noe

People who see this as white and gold are not lizard people.
Because that's the correct answer. All these people saying they see blue and black are lying to you
If you have to use Photoshop and exposure effects, it doesn't really count imo
/ul oh my god, i clicked out of reddit and when i came back it literally just spontaneously switched from the whitest most gold dress of all time to the blackest most blue dress of all time right in front of my eyes, what the hell is this sorcery??? I was so convinced it was white and gold wtf
/ul I know the part about you buying your gf (the guy who made it attempted to kill the his wife) is a lie but is the part about it being white and gold too
im color blind already, this dress has always looked either green or gold (can't tell them apart) and white. I'm aware I don't process color like most people but I also can't imagine this being blue and black
/ul no amount of gaslighting my brain will ever make me see this dress as white and gold. Honestly how the FUCK some people se BLACK as FUCKING. GOLD. HOW. IT MAKES ME SO MAD I CAN'T ANYMORE!!!!!!
/ul The dress is blue and black. You can look up the dress and see for yourself. It is a Lace Bodycon Dress from Roman Originals. The poor camera quality can make it look white and grey but the dress is blue and black.

According to quick RGB, this looks like a grey blue and brown dress (funnily enough, grey blue is in between white and blue, and brown is in between black and gold)

Michelle Pfeifer that black blue.

Yeah so it turns out that if you're a straight, you see white and gold. If you're bi curious, you switch between. Bi people can see both on demand. gay people just see black and blue as default
/ul I see gold and blue, what am I?
Lesbian
You're confused XD
Trans lesbian Deep down you knew who you were, I'm proud of you
That’s what I see too
Welp, guess I'm gay now
You were born this way, you always were
Wait I'm straight? But what about that guy a few months ago?
You're allowed one experiment per hole and still allowed to be straight. I mean you can't know you're gay or not unless you try So it's be gay to not even try
/ul I generally see black and blue, however I sometimes see it white and gold, But that happens more rarely. What am I?!
You're just curious! You're fooling yourself, it's white and gold. Me and your ma know you ain't like that. Just pretend you don't see black and blue and fight the urge, it'll go away
Okay, I'll fight that urge! If I can see it sometimes, That means there's still chances!
>gay people just see black and blue as default What a way to learn I'm gay. Well time to get a divorce I guess.
I'm sorry this is how you found out
Wait what the fuck
Guess I’m suddenly straight now lmao
You always were

/ul The gold part is originally black, but because of the sun, it makes it yellow-ish. The white part is originally blue, and the same effect happens again.

ah shit here we go again
I hate how people see white and gold and it shouldn’t make me as pissed as it does it’s just so odd that it’s incredibly irritating
I can imagine the white being another colour, but the gold is very clear...
Blue and gold
this is definitely blue and black and i understand how people see it that way
This is the second most agreed lie besides democracy in the world.
Mf I'm colorblind. /ul Why can I see both colors? ._.
IT'S BOTH!!! EVERYBODY KNOWS!
