Black/blue or white/gold?

[bignothing]

i kinda dislike any dress that is this tight, i guess. a-line lace dresses are all i wear, which reminds me i need to find a new red or burgundy one. i hope my eyesight is good enough that i haven't been going places wearing freaking orange dresses.

[bignothing]

orange is the worst color

[Mals Marola]

orange is great what are you talking about

yeah, it's pretty much been proved here & with the accompanying "actual site image" & "some other girl wearing it" thing hasn't it? thing was either taken in some kinda goldish-brown light, tampered with afterward or taken with a lensed camera

if it was some kinda changing image that actually swapped out the colors at various times for various regions or something it'd be another thing but i don't know if that's even possible??

orange may be the second worst starburst... but it's a hell of a color!

I was just shown this at work by a customer and I thought it was exclusive to them like some potheads messing with me and now I just got home and it's all over the internet. So trippy.

And it's obviously white and gold

now the original link that I couldn't imagine seeing as black/blue is strong black/blue

anyone else seeing it strongly both ways tonight? It's freaky when it changes within a matter of 10 seconds...

Homegoods

The overwhelming majority see white and gold but apparently the dress is blue and black in weird lighting.

Multiple people looking on the same screen see it as different so it's not a "what type of monitor do you have" thing like I immediately thought.

uh welcome to page 6?

"Interestingly, scientists don’t know much about individual differences in perception, Riener said."

Like even Scientists can only give a vague answer of "People see things differently"

Really, really, fascinating

[Trotskilicious]

omg like DUH

[Shallowed]

Both of these appear black and blue to me, the one on the left just appears paler.

[Trotskilicious]

it's weird how you say that when the picture is on a black background so you can easily tell the difference but ur vision is fucked

[Shallowed]

They're not the same shade, and like I said it is much paler

[Trotskilicious]

pale black huh

like gray?

[Trotskilicious]

[Shallowed]

I'm siding with Archer on this one

What colour is this?

All I need to do is i see colors right and everybody else is wrong unless they see them like me.

[The exploding boy]

I remember as a kid when i had the revelation that perhaps everyone's favorite color si the same, they just see it differently.

Well then i realised the concept of favorite color was kinda silly though when i grew up.

I remember when all my tshirts were black.... now i got all the colors of the rainbow.

Is Fucking Awesome a color?

[Rairun]

When I said that it changed from white/gold to blue/black, I was lying. I was entirely convinced this was an elaborate ruse, so I was playing along. There is no way I can see the white parts (which admittedly have a white balance problem, with a blueish hue) as dark blue. And the gold parts are not at all black to me.

Now I am (sort of) convinced people actually see blue/black. Wtf.

[Elijah Moon]

To me it's blue and a sort of dull gold

[teh b0lly!!1]

i have tried every possible method suggested here - blocking out the background, squinting, scaling it down, etc.

to me it's white and gold. never changed for an instance, too.

and i obsess over colors a lot because i paint.
white will almost always have a blueish tint to it, so that's fine.
but although i tried i just don't see how folks perceive the gold to be black.
black is black. is an obtuse color, and even when lit, like with creases and folds, it turns grey - definitely not orange or beige. it's just too bright and has too much variation between different hues to be black. this is weird

[Elphenor]

Yeah "it's not even close to black" was my first thought as well along with all my fellow white and gold brethren

[Elijah Moon]

Still doesn't give me a satisfactory explanation

[Elijah Moon]

Although, according to that aren't I seeing it correctly? It's meant to be a light blue and a kind of gold, which is what I see

[Eulogy]

I thought the wired article handled it

[Elijah Moon]

Oh, I haven't looked at all of of this thread
