Most of the time I see it as bright white and gold. As in, really light and bright. And then a few times I've looked at it I saw it as light blue/purple and black. At first I thought someone was playing a joke on me and had changed the picture, but it really was the same one. It kind of freaks me out knowing your brains can apparently make you see whatever the hell they want you to see.
The brain does that all the time. :lol: Like this: A and B have the same colour. But that's not how we see it..
I thought people were trolling with this story. It's hard to see it as anything other than blue and black (dark brown) because those are the actual colors that appear in the image. But after some staring, I can see that if the brain interprets the dress as being in a bluish shadow, then it appears gold and white because white+blue shadow = blue and gold+blue shadow = black/brown.
I literally cannot fathom how people see anything other than blue and black. I understand the science behind it. But it just looks like a filtered picture. It doesn't even look close to white and gold to me. I can't even.
NOPE JUST NOPE (It's actually blue n black, confirmed by the owner of the dress) (I see it differently depending the time) (It's cause our eyes suck and the lighting sucks and everything just sucks at doing it's job) BUT NOPE JUST NOPE BYE SEE YAH
That's true, but in the picture it's blue & brown (which can be analysed easily by looking at the colours of the pixels). =)
I swear it changed colour before my eyes. When I clicked, it was black/blue, but it slowly changed to white/gold. brb going to scratch out my eyes
I'm out. *drops mic* *walks out* But yeah shoulda mentioned that too, how about we just all agree that the goddamn dress is ugly and why the hell someone would buy it for 50 pounds is beyond normal people's thought capacity.
Blue and black, never seen it as white and gold. I just wish the internet would leave this in yesterday.
that color blue isn't even close to white though... i wanted to say people who see white are probably in a very bright environment or don't have their monitor calibrated correctly or something but i've heard people say that, looking at the same monitor and the same angle, some saw white/gold and others saw blue/black so that's not it :lol:
It really depends on how the light affects the colors and the colors the retinas of your eyes. I mean that's with anything with color, but in this special case of the dress.
I usually see it as blue and black, but right now it looked blue and gold. I've heard it has something to do with the lighting of the room you're in
When white is in low lighting, especially cooler low lighting, it appears bluish. I guarantee if you take a picture of a white shirt early in the morning or something before the sun's really up, it'll look sort of bluish. Those of us who see it as white don't see it as "bright snow white", we see it as "white with bad lighting".
