I only see blue and black and those are the actual colors when you check so I think this is a massive hoax. | ||

The XKCD image does illustrate how our eyes compensate for ambient light, but it doesn't explain anything here. Look at it carefully: the XKCD picture in which the dress looks white is in a dark blue environment, so our eyes say "That must be a very bright pale dress to appear the way it does". But the dress in the OP is in a very bright, yellow environment (like the right-hand XKCD image) - so why are people seeing it as white? | ||

when i first looked at the dress though it looked nothing like the rebalanced blue/black image, but after seeing that image and going back to the original it does look really blue/black. pretty weird and neat | ||

Edit: the point of course is that dress color is the same on both sides, only background changes, like the tiles A and B exactly have the same colors in the first example. This doesn't even help. I still see blue and black. The reason why the checkered floor illusion works is that it's only using the intensity adjustment that's automatic in our brains. There is no hue or saturation difference. | ||

Its really one of those nifty optical illusions that really depends on how your brain wants to mess with you Look at the comments of this dress on amazon here BTW http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00SJEUCWU/ref=tsm_1_fb_lk | ||

Depends if your brain interprets a bright lighting on the whole image (in which case the dress is in the light and blue/black) or if it interprets the dress as in the shadow against an overexposed background (say taken from inside a shop with a sunny street behind), in which case the dress registers as white. | ||

It looks gold/white to me, even looking at explanation threads and seeing loads of other editted and anotated pictures. Maybe if someone posted a picture of the dress on a table with light above the dress, l can see blue/black | ||

blue-gold for me. The blue I can see people mistaking for white. But I really don't get how that gold is supposed to be black. | ||

So even if it looks yellowish, they can see that the dress was originally black. The whole picture seems to be affected by an yellowish light. The opposite is actually harder imo. I can't see how lighting would make a white dress this blue. Diferent shades of blue, like the XKCD pic sure, but it's always at least a light blue. | ||

And even high end dslr's you often see amateur photographers completely bodge the white balance. So this is perfectly normal really. But yeah I guess the dress is black/blue after all. That's some mighty bad photograph. :D | ||

Black does not reflect light rays, no matter what color the light is. | ||
