Ryzu 984 February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 It is in fact blue and black but if your eyes are adjusted to a certain range of light it should appear as white and gold. I saved the image on my phone and went back to ask someone later about it and it changed for me proving my point. Also if the picture is bright enough it can appear as sky blue and a lighter shade of gold. 1 And I won't allow you to blind those who are important to me! Looking for some friends to chat with?

Blaze Bronson 343 February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 It's white with a hint of blue, and gold. Really just put it in Photoshop. This has got to be a troll picture where people trollin' it's black and blue. To put it clear: the picture of debate is CLEARLY white/light blue ish + gold, but the actual model, or possibly the same dress under different light conditions is blue and black (or so they say). Sorry if I ruined the trollin' for some peeps 1 OC: Blaze Bronson (Drawing by Digiral) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salacberry 90 February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 I know now that it's black and blue, but I still see it as white and gold. I can make myself see the blue if I look hard enough, but the black always looks gold to me. 1 ♥ Sweet Style ♥ Ivy Swirl ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sceethe 704 February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 (edited) the colors of the dress in the picture are a pretty desaturated blue, and a dark, desaturated orange.Just put it into any image-editing program, that´s what the actual colors on the photo are, if isolated from the rest. That doesn´t mean that these are the actual colors of the dress,though. Our brains developed to tell us the information about the base color of an object, and not the actual color that may happen as a result of colored light. For example,i look at the scene and assume that it is an outdoor scene,maybe nighttime, with an artifical lightsource from the back. My brain realizes that a white dress would probably not appear to be actual white in such a context, but blue because of reflected moonlight, and pretty much tells me that the original color of the dress is probably white.(where it appears to be blue) It is kind of a dilemma, since the dress is not directly lit by any other lightsource, so there is some context lacking. In real-life, you could just look at the dress in a slightly different perspective, and the context might change a lot. It is basically just our brains trying to get information out of way too little data, since we usually have much more data to work with.

boiteporte 591 February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 (edited) No matter how hard I look at it, I just don't understand how people manage to see white in the picture. I see blue and black as those are the actual colours of the dress... Look at those three pictures here: http://www.leparisien.fr/laparisienne/societe/de-quelle-couleur-est-cette-robe-la-question-qui-affole-la-toile-27-02-2015-4562839.php You can clearly see that the white is not actually white but is caused by the complete saturation of the light. All this because whoever took the picture can't take a proper one. Edited February 28, 2015 by boiteporte 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misty Rose 3,216 February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 (edited) I found an educational (and hopefully correct) post about it over here. It's apparently called a Cornsweet illusion, and it works because our brains see color relative to what it's surrounded by and how we think it's lit. The idea is, some people somehow see all the yellow, crummy lighting and correct the dress to be similar colors. It's really really weird, and it makes me wonder what else I've been confusing all this time Saw the blue and black all along That harsh lighting in the background is what makes me see this as a white and gold dress that's in some kind of shadow I just don't see how that could be blue at all Edited February 28, 2015 by Pink Mist 1 My OC: http://mlpforums.com...pink-mist-r3726 TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF ME HERE!!

Sunny Fox 5,952 February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 I wonder how many of the people who actually profess it to be blue and black really thought it was gold and white, but having heard it was REALLY B&b, said just that to seem more wise... 1 Happy minion of The Fabulous One!
