I personally think everyone would benefit by looking at how they and people around them reacted to this dress thing and compare it to how they react to other controversial/'unimportant' information.

You could learn a lot about yourself and others. Since the facts of the matter are as about as simple as things get, but can still be intensely controversial, how one interprets and reacts to them says a lot about the person IMO.

If this thread stays open, this picture stays too.

b-b-but muh TL moderation

OT: just a problem of white-balance. interesting that people perceive the light blue to either straight up white or straight up blue, kind of doing the white balancing in their head.

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


Well if we're going by "how does that color look on its own", which as was said several times does not make much sense considering how the brain actually perceives relative colors in a scene, then this post contains the main shades we can see on the lighter part of the dress.

I dare anyone to say these look "white" or "whiter than blue" by any stretch of the imagination. Also that pink red example of yours looks nowhere close to its blue equivalent, but I might've missed the point.

This must be one big troll. The "trollers" are saying it's white/gold while the "trollees" are scratching their heads.

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.

It's a lace dress, the light is shining through the lace distorting the colours.

Why was this thread reopened? There are tons of videos discussing how people see the dress differently and what the real color is.

(Can we have this closed again? Cuz people will spam this thread until it gets old - which was yesterday)

Even TL is not safe from this shit.

When I look directly into my monitor at eye-level its White/Gold. But when I kneel down and look up at my monitor it turns blue/black.

Case fucking closed guys.

The point is that people see diferent colors by looking at the same image. Not that they see the same color but have diferent interpertations of what they see, or diferent colors depending on the brightness of the monitor of who is watching.

It's an optical illusion that affects only a portion of the viewers for some reason, unlike all those popular color tricks you see online, and it happened on a random shitty photo of a dress instead of a carefully prepared picture.

Lol scumbag? That's a bit harsh.

I wonder if age has anything to do with it. I heard some theory about it, although I haven't read it myself. I find it interesting thought that the 3 or 4 people under 30 I've spoken to see blue and black, I see lavender and gold (early 30's) and anyone over ~40+ has seen white and gold. Anyone not fit that pattern?
