Crazy - the dress with what color?

This is so weird.. Aperantly this specific image divide the world in 2, our eyes react differently as some see the image as overexposed, other underexposed. Therefore - some (I) see white and gold, others see black and blue (which is the correct color).

What!!

White and gold black and blue dress - Business Insider

The explanation: The Science of Why No One Agrees on the Color of This Dress | WIRED

It must be me but mine shows a blue and gold dress. I don't know where that black is they talk about.

I checked again; blue/lightish purple, goldish/brown. No black anywhere.

Reading the other link, I apparently see it as is. I doubt it says something about me and my monitor might have more to do with it.

The web post that shower 3 pictures. I saw the middle colors. Gry/blue and brown/gold. At the same time wife sees white and black.

It made me curious if I capture what I see on mine, others will still see it different.

Here's the shot on my monitor.



To me, there's zero white or black in that dress.

Edit: I'm now at the PC checking the third monitor and I still see it the same. It appears the world of vision is divided into three groups when it comes to this dress.

It's not our monitors as my friend just showed the image on her computer, at work, where people saw it differently, even though they looked at the same screen. That's what makes it even more fun

What!! I've seen the dress on several sites and only see white and gold. But your screenshot are clearly black and blue.

This is fascinating that you see black and blue white I see gold and blue. It makes you wonder about all that effort you put into processing something perfectly and others look at the photo and might wonder what the hell you're doing with the colors.

Okay, this is super freaky. Now it's white/gold again. It must be something about the light outside/around the screen...!

I'm CLEARLY seeing white and gold clear as day in every shot of that dress... Both here and on the linked-to website in wud's original post.

Maybe it actually changes, depending of what you just focused at - something bright or something dark.

The light might trigger an adjustment in your vision, about the same way it does during nights and shifts toward the blue spectrum. To me it sadly remains as is, regardless where I stand or on what monitor I look.

Then we have three groups instead of two:

White-gold.
Blue-black
Blue-gold.

I'm curious how those are divided here since we all work with colors, WB and exposure all the time.

I find it fun. I'm still trying to see the black. What is more amazing to me is the arguments that are starting to pop up here at work over this thing.

I've decided to piss people off even more by saying it's green and yellow.

I'll stop spamming now. But I've tried turning my phone screen brightness both up and down, placed myself under light and under a blanket, and kept seeing whit/gold. I saw your screenshot as blue/black, but then it changed back to w/g.

Just now I saw b/b on my computer screen, also on my phone. I placed the phone up against the computer screen and at first the dress on the phone turned to w/g, and slowly the dress on the computer also turned w/g.

This is hilarious lol.

I don't have time at the moment, but I would suggest opening the image in ps and color sample.

Thats already been done on the big www.

I'll stick to my original explanation, it changes whether we see it as under- or overexposed. Which our eyes makes up for, over = white/gold, under = blue/black.

I've always wondered how I know red is red or blues is blue, and the only reason is because that's what someone told me.

I see it as blue/gold (kind of a bronze-brown) when looking straight on. If I tilt the screen it changes from the white/gold tilted toward me to blue/black when tilted away. Does a similar thing on my phone, but not quite as drastic.

Some people have way to much time on their hands
