What color is this dress?

Deltaz · 2015-02-27 05:15:46

I've got a very important question for y'all. Is this dress blue and black or white and gold?

JadElClemens · 2015-02-27 06:22:11

I saw light blue and gold on my phone, blue and black on my computer (the first time). This time it's kind of in between.

Onjit · 2015-02-27 07:24:35

Blue and gold.

Creature · 2015-02-27 16:33:38

Light-blue and Green/Goldenrod apparently.

Koya · 2015-02-27 16:46:25

White and gold

Edit:
Now it looks blue and black

Abelysk · 2015-02-27 17:17:13

White and gold.

mrjawapa · 2015-02-27 17:39:09

There was a website I was looking at earlier that shown what colors it was. It's dark blue and gold. The image you have posted in the OP is a solarized version of the real dress.

Deltaz · 2015-02-27 17:42:31

Yes, but its still cool that different people see entirely different colors when looking at the same image.

mrjawapa · 2015-02-27 18:03:04

Indeed. Our brains/eyes are so complex.

Koya · 2015-02-27 18:12:20

What's the context to this? I saw http://imgur.com/gallery/oeinkzp and realised it's actually a thing

skullz17 · 2015-02-27 18:50:34

I want to be able to see both but I only see white and gold, and it's frustrating me that I can't see black and blue.

edit: I kinda see the blue but I don't get how the gold can look black.

Dazz · 2015-02-27 18:50:52

omg...even at the news are talking about the darn dress...who cares? such a big deal all over the internet for some freaking colors.

skullz17 · 2015-02-27 18:52:49

Because it's interesting that different people can see this dress in completely different ways.

Yeah. It shows the complexity of color perception and how our brains can be so different from each other. You can't even say "People see colors differently", because its not like we are seeing our versions of the color, but still identifying it under the same name, we are all identifying it as a completely different color.

Im with you skullz. I can only see white and gold. I can kinda see blue in the white but i'm at a loss for how the gold can be seen as black.

Zumza · 2015-02-27 19:10:58

I really tried but for me the color don't change maybe my retina display is better?

Calicara · 2015-02-27 19:44:43

I'm with Dazz on this argument. IDGAF, but for confused people who want to know more here is an article: http://www.iflscience.com/brain/explain … ions-dress
This actually opened my eyes to see the dress in the proper color.

Pingohits · 2015-02-27 20:41:08

a friend of mine showed this to me and i saw black and blue

now i see white and gold

what the hell is happening

Different55 · 2015-02-27 20:45:51

~~My eyes and this color picker thing says lilac and gold~~ The lighter color is "boston blue"/"wistful"/"shakespeare"/"ship cove" and the darker is "rock"/"zambezi"/"dorado"/"judge grey" but I was able to make it look black and blue by sitting waayyy down in my chair and tilting the screen back. Also works on my phone.

Anak · 2015-02-27 20:49:15

T WAS BLUE AND BLACK LIKE AN HOUR AGO I LOOKED AGAIN I LOOKED EVERYWHER ITS WHITE AND OGLD

ZeldaXD · 2015-02-27 21:33:31

I am with dazz too.

ILoveBaconYUM · 2015-02-27 21:56:15

Stop being so silly guys. It's obviously hummingbird green, #7FE817, and purple amethyst, #6C2DC7, with a tint of dimorphotheca magenta, #E3319D, all over.

In other words, I also agree with Dazz

Anak · 2015-02-27 21:57:01

The only reason it change colour is bc of eye fatigue aight
It in real life is actually blue and black

Holy crap, this works. Though when I look at the screen normally it becomes white and gold again.

edit: Okay now I can see both without having to tilt the screen.
