What is the color of this dress?
I love that it was so "everywhere’ they even animated it into American Dad
Was anyone ever able to see it as both like one of those perspective illusions? I can only see it as white and gold.
It was white and gold when I opened the post. I use dark mode in Lemmy. Then I opened Wikipedia and read about it for a few minutes in light mode. When I came back, the dress was black and blue suddenly.
I can’t usually switch it on command, but it does switch for me.
And as of posting this and looking at Lemmy in dark mode, it’s white and gold again…
…and now it’s blue and brown.
ive seen it as both. it depends on several factors (brightness of screen, environment, eyes). basically how your eye adapts with the picture.
the picture was taken with the perfect conditions in order for the problem to be a real problem (lit dress with an overly blown out background light) to cause eye adaption to trigger for some and not others.
I’ve never seen it as anything but white and gold.
Try squinting. I see white and gold normally but blue and black when I squint.
I cannot at all see the white. I can see it as blue and gold (from the top) but from the bottom, it definitely looks more like black and blue to me.
It’s weird, back when this was trending, I always saw it as white and gold, but, looking at the picture above on my phone, it does kinda look blue and black
I just forced myself to. Kinda turned my phone away at an angle and tried covering the right side of the pic and forced myself to see it as blue and black. Then I couldn’t stop seeing it unless I did a mental reset.
I’m also focusing on the bottom half of the dress.
I’ve seen both. The first time, the colors changed as I was looking at it. That was freaky
I constantly switch between seeing both.
Few times it literally changed as I was looking at it, from top to bottom
Augh, not this again! It was clearly white and gold when I opened this thread. Scrolled through comments, and now I can only see it as blue and black. Damn it, messing with my mind man!!!
Literally same. I’ve gone back and looked at it a few times, and I can’t see white and gold anymore. I think my brain broke.
It’s white from the top down, but blue from the bottom up
all I’ve got is blue and darkish gold.
It’s just not possible for it to be white and gold.
And it for real isn’t.
That’s all I see.
Damn, your world must look really weird.
I wouldn’t know any other. :)
Have fun being wrong!
There is no consensus on why the dress elicits such discordant perceptions.[31] The neuroscientists Bevil Conway and Jay Neitz believe they are a result of how the human brain perceives colour and chromatic adaptation.

The interesting thing, for me, is how people’s reactions to the dress sparked that many studies of the phenomenon.
The interesting thing for me is how badly I want one side to be wrong and one to be right. It’s weird that that feeling is there and so strong… for something seemingly insignificant
I mean we do know what color the dress actually was: Blue and black
Alright buddy. I’ll fight you. It’s definitely white and gold.
You can perceive it however you want but the manufacturer was found and it was blue and black. Kinda figured that would be common knowledge by now.

The dress was black and blue, but the conditions of the photograph caused many to perceive it as white and gold, creating debate. Within a week, more than ten million tweets had mentioned the dress. The retailer of the dress, Roman Originals, reported a surge in sales and produced a one-off version in white and gold sold for charity.
Bruh…it still looks gold and white.
Sorry your brain isn’t processing the image right
Here is a screenshot from my phone. Fight me.
Still black and blue, sorry your brain is screwing with you
No, thank you
You will fit right in here at Lemmy… :p
I can’t see blue and black
Me neither. Usually I can twist my brain to see illusions the other way, but even covering up the surroundings doesn’t flip it
Yeah, that’s interesting. Like you I can usually flip these back and forth. I only know it can be seen differently because half the world reports they see it differently. Weird, eh?
Literally everyone
Nope, never seen this fugly thing before
Did you know that the husband of this woman from the viral photo went to prison because he tried to kill her?
Edit: they were married
Did we need to? That’s like the most “anyway” piece of info ever
Anyway, can you believe people see white n gold here? And we just let these freaks live among us??
Seriously though, I had never once considered the people that shared the image. And likely never will again so kudos lol
That’s interesting
Husband.
Bruh that is a dress not a person
The dress can make you feel crazy if you’re talking to someone who sees the other colors, but this diagram from the wiki page makes me feel like i’m having a goddamn stroke just by looking at it.
they’re clearly not the same co- HOW ARE THEY THE SAME COLOR
What i dont get is that there is clearly no dim blue light where the picture was taken. By the background you can see everything is lit up plain as day. White-gold people are absolutely zonked for thinking that.
It’s totally white and gold
What the fuck just happened to me? It was white and gold, I took a screenshot – I go back, it’s black and blue, and the screenshot is too.
Is this just a JPEG bug?
Some weird human perception thing, it seems
i envy the perspective of a white/gold person.
i had this ex, one time she was driving and we were stopped at a light. she asks me “did you see that car?” and i hadn’t, so i said as much. she continued “there was no one driving it.”
now the way my brain works is, even though i didn’t even see the car, i know there had to be a driver. she died on the hill that there couldn’t have been a driver because she didn’t see one.
coincidentally a few years later she was also a white/gold person.
I’m white gold person. Where do I get my zonking sticker?
If you look at the very top of the dress in the middle, and use a color picker from your favorite image editing tool, the color of those pixels are a brownish gold.
That is part of the reason why some of us see it as white and gold.
Alternately, if you take a color picker to the sleeve part of the dress, the color of those pixels are a light blue.
Colorpicker bullshit means nothing, our eyes adapt to the lighting the computer does not. You can clearly see in the photo that the setting has harsh bright lights with a yellow tint. What used clothing store would have dim blue lighting anyways?
Laurel
Yanny
Blue and yanny.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it as anything but black and blue.
really? It’s gold and white for me… xD
I’m colorblind this pic doesn’t have power here
Same here.
I’ve never understood what these folks were arguing about.
Oh so we’re going to have an argument for dinner?
Ban all of the trolls on team blue/black
The famous red and green dress
Grey and white for me…
Someone bust out the hex code color picker…
Hell yea, please do. I need the results
It’s been done; it’s a grayish blue and a dark goldish brown. The lighting really messes with the coloring. Iirc the actually dress was discovered to be blue and black at some point.
This is so strange. Into I saw the picture you posted, I swore up and down it was white and gold. I cannot unsee blue and black now. WTF?
JFC it just happened to me too like some fucked up meme eye virus
BEGONE MEME WITCH WE NAT WANT YOUR EVIL
Well that makes me feel better. I don’t care what the actual dress is, but those are the colors I’m seeing
