I see black and blue with a yellow over wash because of lighting.
To see white and gold in shadow, I have to remove all context prompts, like strip out the background and all lighting artifacts.
I just can’t see the white and gold in context. Too many years of colour correcting photos.
I can’t see white and gold no matter what, I am ever-so-slightly color blind (supposedly) so maybe that’s part of it?
2015 called, it wants its trends back
It’s a black and blue dress that looks white and gold in washed out sunlight.
It turns out that some materials play with light in ways that seem unexpected, and our rigid definitions of color don’t always fit well around them.
That’s a perfect demonstration. Shame I didn’t see this back when all the fuss was being made about it…
Relevant recent news article…
Is it a crime story or a story about the dress? I can’t really tell. Like I think it’s about domestic violence, but then I read another paragraph and then all I can see is about the dress, and then it changes back again.
Only once in my life did I see it gold and white
I’m the opposite.
One method to attempt to force the change is change the screen brightness and ambient light situation. If its bright where youre looking at, change to a dark room or vice versa
Look at the darker side and tell me you don’t see black and blue
I only saw white and gold before i did that and now i can only see black and blue.
My brain is broken. I still only see white and gold.
Well, afaik it was confirmed to be black and blue. Whatever, you may see it gold and white because your brain focuses more on the lighter parts. Try covering them with your hand or something
afaik it was confirmed to be black and blue
I do believe it actually was black and blue, but I find it very hard to believe that anyone would perceive the way it is presented in this picture, with that lighting and level of overexposure, as black and blue.
Even looking at the RGB values of individual pixels, they are distinctly brown/gold-ish and a pastellish faded out purple.
Yeah, I’ve tried the tricks, and I’ve seen other pictures of the actual dress, but I still see dark yellow and light blue / gray. Which, to be fair, are the actual color values in the image.
I’ve tried so many things from squinting to covering parts of the picture to adjusting the light in my room. I know this dress is blue and black because I’ve seen it while not being over exposed. I just can’t get my brain to recognize it any other way than gold and white in this picture.
Same
Damn
Yeah I just don’t understand this as well, even if the dress was confirmed black and blue, where the heck are those colors in the image? The blue I can still go with if using color picker but the gold is clearly there, even color picker says it’s gold from the image alone. Doesn’t mater what the real dress is colored in if the picture conveys a different story. I see also mostly white and gold and no matter what can’t change it besides looking at the other images of this dress.
Black material isn’t perfect and still reflects light, given there’s a very yellow light source and the picture is overexposed it is showing the black as a “gold” due to the yellow tint.
Damn
The actual dress is black and blue. The pixels in that image are a VERY light blue and like a beige type color. You can drop it into that color picker app and see.
Basically the pic is fried to hell and back.
Yeah couldn’t agree more, even highlighting the dark pixels does nothing in python if they are closer to the pure black hex value. Simple RGB values of this image is just not black but at least some sort of light blue/blue if not white.
I don’t think it’s possible to force your brain to see it one way or another. I did see it as white and gold once but it was only for a split second and only after staring at it for a long time. One of my friends tried to prove it was white and gold by messing with the white balance in Photoshop, but that did nothing for me. I’d be surprised if it worked by just covering parts of the picture, it might be a more external lighting perception trick.
I wonder if this picture is showing how many of us need to adjust our monitors…
I also seen it as gold ones, for half a second when seeing this thumbnail.
For half a second when I was scrolling I saw white and gold, but now it’s blue and black. I can’t flip it again.
Same here. White and gold for a moment, then blue and black.
Always been black and blue for me. Never been able to see it as white and gold.
White and gold obviously.
Scrolls down…reads some comments…scroll back up.
WTF, how did that happen. Now it’s black and blue.
I’ve seen both, but right now, I’m seeing black and blue.
It’s black and blue.
Me and my gf are looking at the same picture on the same screen. I see gold and white and she sees black and blue. What the actual fuck?
Still white and gold even after all these years, though I did see blue and black once, but that was with the corner of my eye then.
So I can only see white and gold, but if I angle my phone away from me and look at the side, it turns black and blue. When I straighten it out again, back to white and gold.
