Not on the picture. The real colours of the picture are brownish gold and light blue. There is nothing else to it. If you see any black or white, your eyes are playing tricks on you.

The pixels are a browny gold and a slightly blue tinted white


And the dress is blue and black...

So...what if it is?

Dingodile's point is that he belives that people percieves colour differences depending on whether their eyes are attuned to outdoor/indoor light. I reply and clarify that that I, like many others, see the true colours of the picture, thus rendering his point invalid for many people.

You again reply that the dress of which the image was taken of is blue and black. I suppose you will repeat that the dress is blue and black ad infinitum even despite what the colours of the image actually is.Ok...I suspect that thinking logicaly isn't your forte.


I wasn't responding to Dingodile; I was responding to your statement that blue and brown were the real colors of the dress, instead of blue and black. I was correcting your mistake of brown instead of black. You may not appreciate the correction, but accusing me of not thinking logically is a rather random and personal attack Thanks!

You know we are talking about the real colours?!
I see gold and white on that picture but still have trouble if this is the real color (too). I cant find this gold and white dress on amazon. I only found in black and blue, whose field reports are funny as hell.

Noone actually sees true black, or even something close to it. People see an washed up black that looks brownish because of the shitty picture quality, but they still say they see black and blue because that's how black looks under these kinds of lighting.

The whole debate about it being brown instead of black is missing the point. The interesting bit about this is that some people can see an optical illusion that turns the dress white and some cannot. Arguing about black vs brown is like arguing wether a blueish green color is blue or green.

It's been explained many times over that the color of the picture's pixels are not necessarily (and in this case, clearly not) the same as the real colors of the dress, because of the lighting, shadows, etc. I think at this point, people are just recycling complaints about it being an illusion or misleading, which was the entire point of the picture to begin with. People are seeing the picture of the dress as a whole bunch of colors based on their perception and color contrasts (and also based on pixel colors), but the actual dress (like, in real life) is blue and black. Not blue and brown, not gold and white, not red and green, etc. That's all I was saying/ responding to

This is a black wall under direct lighthting:

It goes from basically white to black. This debate is like picking a close up section somewhat close to the lighting souce and argue wether you can still tell the wall is black or you must say it is golden because that's what the the color of the pixels for that particular section.

I KNOW it is a dark blue and black dress. The PICTURE is brown and light blue however. Therefore, if you see black and dark blue your eyes are playing tricks on you.

People are just answering the question that was asked, both here and when the image started circulating the web.

People are reporting they see black and white. There is no black and no white.

They are reporting they see a black dress. You don't have to see black to know how black under lighting looks. And it can be brownish. People that see white see an optical illusion that people that see blue don't, and it actually looks extremelly white.

I don't think anyone knows why some people see it and some don't, or why some people stop seeing it. That is what makes this so unique. Optical illusion pictures are ussually universal.

Oh wow that picture. Look at the bulb, gold and white around the bulb. Maybe they put a bulb under that dress outside?!

Well you are trying to understand how blue turns white (your first sentence). Thats the mistake, do NOT retroactive accounting unless you see it black&blue.
I see white dress (real colour) because dress is under a shade (black/blue/violet-sunshield was my assume and sun from left angle) changes from white to a very light blue/violet tinted white. Dress is in shade, background has sun.

edit: if you see it black&blue then tell me the context/background (ofcourse before you know the answer)?!


Background has sun, front/side also has sun, sun hits dress, black part therefore looks goldish on the side and blue part looks like lighter blue. Dress is black and blue.

And of course I didn't mean "blue turns white" literally. I meant it as "seeing it white even though it's actually blue".

protest?
sun and indoor lightining aren't the same. I understand indoor lighting as bulb/lamp.

It is really about perception of that yellow colour (indoor or outdoor yellow) in background.

You said the "real colours" were "blue&brown", which is what I replied to in the first place -.-' So now we've come full circle. I'm not sure if you're trying to troll me or you just have really bad memory, but I don't think there's anything else to add to your correction. If you're honestly still confused about the colors, SKC lays it out really nicely a few posts above mine. Maybe that'll help you more.

Yea, but the pixels are a browny gold and slightly blue tinted white

The picture isn't a good representation of the actual color of the dress. The picture is white(blue tinted)+gold, but the actual dress is blue+black.
