What color is this dress?

unperfect paul

I dont get it how some people (except for the colourblinds) can see a black and blue dress

 

In original the dress is probablly white and gold but because of the crappy image it got a shade of blue and the gold got to brown on the lower part. Now pls staph interwebz U being annoying today

 

 

What does this color pallet show you? And by the way, the dress is Black and Blue, the designer's web page can back that up if you dont believe me.

Yes, I'm overly serious.

PS: I don't use sarcasm, ever, when typing.

I'm going to ruin the fun:

Its clearly a shade of blue and a shade of brownish/black. Anyone who sees otherwise most likely: has an uncalibrated or crappy monitor that sucks in color reproduction,  colorblind, or they are trolling.

I personally see White and Gold, but that's looking at it from a monitor with overexposure from the terrible camera quality. If everyone were to see it in person then they would all say it is black & blue.  

 

Anyone know if it also has something to do with the contrast of your monitor?

THE DRESS IS BLACK AND BLUE
 
If you see it as white and gold then it's because your brain is messing it up by assuming the lighting in the room is blue (it is actually yellow). This people, is why it's important to adjust your white balance (either when taking the photo or in post).
Here is my attempt to set the white balance properly (hard to do with just the JPEG). As you can see by the bag next to the dress, it is now the correct black and white color (instead of poop brown and piss yellow).

"Your eyes have retinas, the things that let you interpret color. There's rods, round things, and cones that stick out, which is what gives your eye a textured appearance in the colored part. The "cones" see color. The "rods" see shade, like black, white and grey. Cones only work when enough light passes through. So while I see the fabric as white, someone else may see it as blue because my cones aren't responding to the dim lighting. My rods see it as a shade (white).
 
There's three cones: small, medium and large. They are blue sensitive, green sensitive, and red sensitive.
 
As for the black bit (which I see as gold), it's called additive mixing. Blue, green and red are the main colors for additive mixing. This is where it gets really tricky. Subtractive mixing, such as with paint, means the more colors you add the murkier it gets until its black. ADDITIVE mixing, when you add the three colors the eyes see best, red, green and blue, (not to be confused with primary colors red, blue and yellow) it makes pure white.
 
—Blue and Black: In conclusion, your retina's cones are more high functioning, and this results in your eyes doing subtractive mixing.
 
—White and Gold: our eyes don't work well in dim light so our retinas rods see white, and this makes them less light sensitive, causing additive mixing, (that of green and red), to make gold."

Conclusion: if you say it is white and gold, then you're wrong. You might see it as white and gold, but that's because your monitor is bad, your eyes are bad, or you are not in a good location to judge colors accurately. The dress itself is black and blue, no matter what you see it as.

 

Side note: I see it as black and blue even though I had no prior knowledge to the actual color. My friend showed me the picture just a few hours ago and I had not heard about this at all before he showed it to me. So no, this is not a case of "the only people saying black and blue only say it because they knew the answer". This is a case of "the way our brain interpret things differs from person to person".

The original picture actually did something rare & hard to do. This has a chance of helping researchers develop new things for the seeing impaired. It really messes with our eyes when we look at it to perceive the yellow/blue colors

People dying in africa of starvation and hunger .

 

We havent figured out the big questions of life like whats the meaning of life and what happens after death.

 

But the color of the dress , thats really important for the advancement of the human species.

 

What an important metaphysical question.

 

Come on guys this is a case study first world problem.

 

Things like this make me disappointed in being a part of humanity Q_Q.

 

I don't give two shits.

Look up "Fallacy of relative privation".

 

How our eyes and brains perceive color is an interesting topic. I think we should be allowed to discuss it without people shouting "people are starving in Africa so you shouldn't spend your time learning about human vision!". Also, you clearly gave enough to comment on it. =)

Yes I know the fallacy of relative privation.

 

I still think this trend is stupid and a waste of time , and that's my prerogative.

 

You can disagree with my opinion if you want , that's why its called a personal opinion.

It's both.
One time I see it as Gold and White and another time I see it as Blue and Black... with the same picture and even in the same video.

 

I blame the bad camera that was used for this.
