I feel like I am missing some in-joke, the answer seems obvious to me.

Waiting for the clickhole article 'what color is this black dress' with only white as a voting option.

IT'S WHITE AND GOLD WHITE AND GOLD WHITE AND GOLD GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
-
I'M NOT FUCKING CRAZY
-
ummm no its not and yes you are
-
lol. Did yeti edit the original post with a different pic?
edit: Even the buzzfeed pic is different now. Is the joke that somebody is swapping out a different source pic?
-
mauve and vermilion

No she is standing in the light which is over saturating the blue making it look white. Why fuck my genetics when yours cause color-stupidity.

looks like pale english hyacinth and autumn goldenrod.

I feel like I am missing some in-joke, the answer seems obvious to me.
Either its some internet joke or its an interesting eye/brain thing.
The first time I saw the pic like an hour ago it was clearly white and gold.
When I clicked on your thread suddenly it looked equally as clearly blue and black.
So either its the interesting eye/brain thing or a silly color swap pic thing. I'm just curious as to which it is not that I overly care.
-
Also cool breezy, please change your name because in my head Beezy is breezy and there can be only one breezy. Two many breezys and I will get confused.
-
what the Jesus man look how bright the background is she's standing in the fucking shade clearly also I don't think anyone is in that dress

I actually had to double check because I did have it installed in the past. But nah. Currently I don't.

it's one picture. if you saw the dress in real life it's blue and a dark-ish gold/brown. it's a weird perception thing that people see it one way or the other.
like, start looking from the bottom left. there's a white and black outfit behind it.

My apologies to #teamwhiteandgold but my eyes stubbornly are unable to see your stupid wrong answers

Interesting. It's one of the more effective one of these things then because unlike normally I can't make myself see it the other way at will compared to some of these things I've seen before.

Talking in caps is not helping your sanity argument. Neither is being wrong.

Y'all need eyedropper tool and Jesus.

A color wheel too.

RGB is in orthogonal 3d space not wheel space. So they need a color cube.

I was just bitterly reading an article about tetrachromats (I have color deficient vision) so I'm really enjoying being right about this one

I regret that I have but one life to give for clothing.

I've been seeing that fucking dress as white and gold all day. Just came back into this thread, still white and gold. Scrolled down, read some comments, scrolled back up, and it was blue and black. I literally gasped and backed away from my monitor.

Stolen from GAF.
**Also if you see white and gold sometimes, blue and black another, or a combination of the two, your eyes are very average, and it could change because of YOUR rooms lighting or the tilt of your phone. This is the same manipulation they use for optical illusions

Please reset the vote; Breezy has seen the light.

IT. IS. WHITE AND. GOLD.

My rooms lighting can't change unless I change the bulb. I'm looking at my monitor from any and every angle. This explains nothing for me. All I see now is blue and black.

No window?
I mean It can probably happen without drastic light changes too. I clipped that part from a much longer post in the original op on gaf. Basically its about how our eye mix colors blah blah blah rods and cones blah blah blah.
But when the colors suddenly switch on you, yeah its a bit of that twilight zone feeling, like somebody is fucking with you.

Lol it's been dark out since before I got home and first saw this thing. Reading this explanation now: http://www.wired.com/2015/02/science-one-agrees-color-dress/

Vindication! Blue Black!

Yeah I went that link and came back. Dress was gold and white after looking at the pictures on that page and coming back to this thread. Scrolled down and scrolled back up. Black and Blue again.
Shit is creepy. This will make the next shitty paranormal activity movie.
-
I've tried viewing it from different angles, trying to unfocus my eyes like it's a Magic Eye, and I don't even understand how people are seeing anything close to white. It's a darker blue than the background of Bore posts.

For me its not like the normal magic eye stuff. Which btw I never could actually see. I missed out on that whole phenomenon.
Once its locked in for me its locked in. But if I go to Beezy's link and then come back my brain/eyes will flick between them a few times before settling on whatever it wants to see. When its blue it really looks blue. And when its white it really looks white. That's the best way to explain it, even though it doesn't make sense.
For me its not really an eye trick in the sense that you look more or less deeply. It's more a light switch going on or off in either direction. If you stare long enough sometimes the two blend and you elements of both but normally its one or the other.

My god that is a hideous dress.

I know, who wears gold and white other than Greek deities?

I feel like this is the Great Cilantro War, but not as tasty.
Or, conversely, the Guelphs and Ghibellines of our era, but not as difficult to muster the energy to give a fuck about.
-
The Wired article suggested those of us who see it as white/gold may see it differently against a black background. Someone photoshop this bitch. I'm on mobile.
-
All of the internet falling over itself over something that can easily be checked with PS/Gimp/whatever.
This is why science lost.
-
i can understand seeing the gold. The shitty image quality and the overexposed lighting is giving it a weird hue, but calling it straight up gold is silly. If anything it's black with a gold hue.
But the blue? It's blue. Light blue. But blue.
-
:lol

Thank you. I thought I was the only one.

Use your hands to block out the background and the glowing collar at the top of the dress in the original image.

People insulting others for seeing colors different from what they see or telling them to get their eyes checked are causing me to lose hope in humanity all over again.

You should have been in my first year philosophy class when we hit secondary quality view of colors theory; I knifed a fucker.

My favorite part of this whole thing is seeing my internet cynic friends start out being like "who cares about that stupid dress there are more important things guys" and then no shit 15 minutes later getting into a huge argument about what color it is.

this idiot trap was way better:
(http://i.imgur.com/qE3BqrV.jpg)
This was painted by a person with a rare and severe mental disorder. He was constantly seeing his own fantasies all around him. He also had a certain phobia (undisclosed).
There is one tell-tale sign in it that shows the painter’s insanity. Don’t look for small details, look at the whole; if you figure out what the phobia was, you’ve got the answer. Ask yourself what could have preceded this scene; think of what the place would look like with all the objects removed. A professor said that during the 15 years of his teaching, only one student had figured it out.
i got sucked in and sent it to my psych prof asking what the answer was and he looked at me like I was distinguished mentally-challenged :gloomy

That's the original the supposedly mentally disturbed artist reproduced. This is his version:

I can see the blue and black all the time now, I was stupid before.
We've always been at war with White and Gold.
-
So what's the answer to that painting shit?
I think the only reason only one student figured it out is because no one else gives a shit about some shit-tier painting.
I found a discussion on Metafilter but didn't care enough to read the responses. Probably just an idiot test, as Kick implied.

And yet the dress is black and blue with shitty exposure proving you have defective eyes.

Am I being fucked with?
I came into this thread multiple times throughout yesterday. Tried crossing/blurring my eyes. Looking at it from across the room, shrinking it and blowing it up. Clipping out only a small portion of it. Over and over. It was white and gold everytime. EVERYTIME. Apart from a slight bluish tinge to the white I had no idea how people could be seeing what they said they were seeing.
NOW IT'S FUCKING BLUE AND BLACK. ARRRGGGHHHH

Turns out our brains fudge vision quite a bit. Lots of guessing going on. Makes you wonder what else we're being lied to by the thing that is having this exact thought.
