shit is fake anyway because it's not about the white lighting (contrast/brightness) but about color filters added on top/below(behind) the dress which literally change its color. | ||

I see black because that's what my eyes see. That makes me a conformist tool? Sounds like your completely unwilling to admit that a low quality photo with a bright background to the right and a dark on on the left can result in human eyes filtering the light reflecting off the picture differently. Or you are just a conformist tool for seeing white. Probably this one | ||

Probably this one The pixels themselves are a goldish color, even if you perceive blue + dark (i do sometimes, flicked back and forth like 8 times yesterday) then you'll see blue with kinda goldish dark color | ||

Or you are just a conformist tool for seeing white. Probably this one (first, i like to note that i specifically said it's not about brightness but about color filters that filter certain colors out). to your point now: yes, that is impossible. all eyes (unless injured/sick/with issues or something) filter light the same way. it's the same organ. if i capture the reflection of that picture on your retina i'll show you it's not black. i'll show you that you don't "see" it black. so, your the perception is skewed psychologically and has nothing to do with the eyes. i don't see white. i see blue/gold-gray-ish | ||

It's a trick of context as much as it is perception. | ||

They either see a darkish-brown and assume it's a washed out black, or they see a lightish-blue and assume it's white that's tinted by shadows. It's a trick of context as much as it is perception. This. I strongly believe the dress is black by looking at it but obviously the perceived color isn't perfect black, more like goldish dark, but the goldish part (to us) seems obviously due to the lighting. | ||

No. You're being inconsistent. You're saying it's gold because the pixels contain yellow, right? Then by that standard the 'white' is blue, because the pixels are blue - pretty much as as blue as the by-lines in this thread. Nobody is 'seeing' black and blue, in the sense of what light is entering their eyes. Nor is anybody 'seeing' white and gold. Our brains are interpreting what we see according to the assumptions they're making about the prevailing light in the scene. Different assumptions = different perception of colour. The dress is, in fact, black and blue. That's not in doubt. I perceive it as black and blue (apart from a couple of seconds last night when I glanced at the screen and saw white/gold). | ||

The whole thing was pretty fascinating to me, both the actual dress color issue and the fact something as mundane can get viral so insanely fast. Edit: I suppose I can add to the whole thing by saying that it looks sky blue and gold-brown to me. | ||

There are tons of videos saying that it's blue and black. I think OP can edit videos from DNews, ASAP Science, and Computerphile. I doubt there's nothing more to discuss and people can just go spam this thread. | ||

Edit: I suppose I can add to the whole thing by saying that it looks sky blue and gold-brown to me. I'm thinking about writing a blog about why this is the most amazing thing that will probably happen this year maybe this decade. Not the dress itself but how the dress/picture exposed something on such a viral level. And not like Gangnam style. People still don't seem to realize but the way this phenomena has crystallized the way we come to conclusions, skepticism of facts and science, our inclination toward conspiracy theories, our cynicism, our apathy, our rage, and so much more, in such a simple and concise issue is potentially revolutionary. Most people have discussed this issue with other people. Think about how the people you have asked about it reacted to the whole phenomena, then think about how they interpret other controversial issues in their lives... EXAMPLES: Did they see what they saw/see and conclude 'it is what I see' other peoples explanations and perceptions be damned ("They must be trolling, color blind, settings screwy, defective, etc...) Did they see a dress/optical illusion easily explained and immediately say/think "this is stupid I'm not even going to think about this thing Please make it go away there is nothing to be learned here!" or "Here's the science stupids now go back to your day"? Did they see both and try to mediate heated arguments about whether someone's brain/monitor/eyes were defective or convince someone that they weren't trolling when they said they can only see white and gold or blue and black or orange I suspect their reaction says a lot about how they tend to interact with other information. EDIT: I'm not putting anyone on blast but you could look at posters in this thread and then look at other controversial issues and see the pattern I'm describing. | ||

This white tends to be dark white & very lightly violet because she stays at sun-shade. blue/dark is if you can ignore the very light background (in your brain too). I cant see it and I even did it with photoshop (background black, dress stays intact). Doesnt work either. I think I should stop go outside if we have excellent weather (as in that picture) to see this picture as blue/black finally. | ||

On the news website that she took the picture from, seeing it on my work computer (I am now browsing TL on my personal computer) it was also black and blue. I would be fine with this saying to myself "well she took the picture from a strange angle and it changed the light etc and I saw it as white and when looking at the computer I see always black and blue"...however, 5 people that were with me did not change their position changing from the phone to the website and back again....the only time they saw blue was in the photoshop'd pic (with REALLLYYYY dark blue). This is what intrigues me the most, if each of us changed their position based on the device their were looking at, I would be fine, but my other friends didn't, only two of us thought we were looking at 2 different pictures, the other 5 only saw white in every device. | ||

Tell me how you see it as blue/black in what background. Example: You see a clear and gaudy white t-shirt in a excellent weather (only sun, 40+°C). If you see that t-shirt under a sunshade, it can tends to a dark white with light blue/violet colour. This is my experience, it didnt took 1sec to notice that context/background for me. | ||
