EPTthe middle pic is the same as from OP. My assumption: They just slide the bright/contrast or whatever and publiced it in 3 differently pics. What a joke but nice PR thing. You really should read comments on amazon, they are great!.
Not a joke, what colors is this dress? - Page 11

it's gold or goldish-brown + light blue or white (depends on what was the lighting/shadow intensity) | ||

If you check the third post, what colour is it at in the scale? On my monitor it is nowhere near black or white on either of the scales. | ||

Goldish/dark brown and blue (not pure blue ofc, like light, slighly greyish blue, but definitely not white by any stretch of the imagination). And goldish/dark brown is pretty much exactly how black looks when hovered by yellow/sunish light. | ||

black with yellow = light gold-grayish dark blue with yellow = light blue-grayish. the later colors were what camera caught on film. those same colors can be accentuated or diluted based on <insert electronic display here> brightness/contrast but they'll never become black and blue as the original unless you filter out the yellow. | ||

Blue is 100%. here are some RGB-values from analysing different pixels of the dress: 100/105/129 130/146/182 125/134/160 140/148/184 156/175/200 163/177/211 071/080/112 So yes, while blue is the dominating color, it does not dominate by much. Yes, you get these colors if you use blue and turn on some knobs. HOWEVER, if you use the HSL model (hue-saturation-lightness) you can quickly find out that the saturation is far less than 50% on the blue for every single one of these probes I took. Which means there is two to three times as much white than there is blue. Add to that the fact that the lightness is always over 50% (even more white) and it is very easy to conclude that white does in fact dominate over blue in this picture. Which is why it is perfectly reasonable to say that you see a white dress that is slightly more blue-ish and grey-ish than the white you are used to. Now if you would factor in the brightness of the background you could come to the conclusion that the dress is more blue-ish than it appears at first sight. But just from looking at the dress itself it clearly is white. And if you say "but the original piece is actually black/blue" then I can provide you with a splendid picture to illustrate my point: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/EdTfyy5.jpg) This was a full pink-red square. Then I turned up the lightness and turned down the saturation. It still can be identified as pink-red if you use an image editor, but it is now as pink-red as your dress is black/blue. | ||

And do some people clearly see that square as red-pink while others clearly see it as white as paper? For the people that see blue, the blue is about as deep as the headlines in each post in TL. Not light blue as the background. It's not something reasonably mistaken with white. | ||

Depends on your monitor and what's next to it. Colours are seen in a relative manner, as everyone knows from the "grey squares" optical illusions. + Show Spoiler + Saying it's the same blue as something on TL is irrelevant. | ||
