the 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!.

lol @ people seeing black. I bet you were the one who, as a kid, was trying to eat crayons instead of painting with them

it's gold or goldish-brown

light blue or white (depends on what was the lighting/shadow intensity)

The dress in the picture is actually black and blue as confirmed by the person who took it, just so you know.

Yeah but the colors on the pictures are indeed gold / light blue. Who cares what the actual color is.

Well when so many people clearly see it as the color it actually is (I do), then it's pretty funny to consider only the other part is right.

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.

the light sensor of the camera was hit by a powerful yellow light which made the camera mix it with the dress original colors:
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.

I still have no idea how anyone can consider that "white" color. Makes no sense. Blue is 100%.

ok I have seen this picture multiple times on many things , a tablet , smartphone , laptop , desktop......and I always get different results !!!! sometimes I see black and blue , sometimes I see gold and white , I'd really like to know how this is happening

I send the pic from my pc to my tablet , and I saw different colors so it really can't be different pictures or data

edit : seems like a few posts above me solves it XD

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:

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.

A and B being the same shade of grey.

Saying it's the same blue as something on TL is irrelevant.
