The tiles represented by A and B are also the same colour. Take your hand and cover up most of the drawing so you just see the two colours without context

OK I just came back to this thread in a room with different lighting and for a second or two I saw white/gold (I thought someone had switched the image!)

Neither white/gold or blue/black happens to me.

I found it more effective to just pick a color in GIMP and compare those. Turns out they are absolutely same. Damn, i went insane on this one, all hail Skynet.

Talking about optical illusions, the orange middle square and the top brown square are actually exactly the same color. It's impossible to believe at first.

That's how i see it. I can't see it in any other way lol. And i have two monitors :O

interested to see a video of it changing from black/blue to white gold.
I am only seeing white/gold
|
turned my monitor brightness all the way down, looks black/blue, turned it back all the way up and it looks white/gold again
i think the difference in perception has to do with monitor glare. when there's glare on the screen it cancels out the yellow light and makes the dress look black/blue, when there's no glare the yellow light in the picture makes the dress look white/gold
|
Yeah, i can see it perfectly as blue/black on my cellphone =/
|
I'm trying really hard to see it as blue + black. But nope, yellow and white to me regardless of how far away I look at it from, whether it's my monitor or cellphone, different brightness.
Pretty neat.
When I saw this on Facebook initially, I thought this was going to be this troll thing, like that fairy tale where a king gets a dress made out of gold and silver, and the one's who make it, keep all the gold and silver, and say tell the king the dress looks beautiful, and anyone who can't see it is stupid. And so the king is naked, but nobody wants to look stupid, so everyone admires his dress.

Its black and blue ... how does white and gold is winning LOL?
Just look at the background there is too much light, maybe thats why you could see white/gold (wtf?).

I think the problem is the question being "What colour is this dress", not "What colours do you see in this picture".
It looks like a White and Gold dress that's in the shade and has all kind of lighting issues (and was taken from a low quality camera).

What black, seriously guys. Stop trolling , there is no black.
|
I can see black in the cow pattern in the background. The dress looks nothing like it until I go below 10 in the contrast setting when everything looks black. The only way to tell is to look it up in an image editing program though, as somebody did on the first page.
There it is shown to be gold and blue (on my screen). Nowhere near the white or black on the scale.

It's obviously not pure/perfect black we're seeing (just like you're probably not seeing perfect white on the other stripes). It's like black-ish with a golden tone generated by the reflected light.
|
I see pretty clear blue and black, I can tell though that there is light reflecting on the black that gives it some gold-ish tone as previous people said
