I still don't see how anyone could possibly get black from it. The very darkest part is just dark brownish.

Because some peoples' brains don't just see the color value of a bunch of pixels. They can infer things based on the lighting in the picture - it is clearly light reflecting off of thin black fabric that appears gold because of the lovely camera. If you look at the bottom stripes they are much closer to black. I still have not seen a convincing argument about how people are seeing white. There is no shadow. Everything is extremely lit, and the middle part of the dress appears to be reflecting light. I don't see where this "blue shadow" is coming from. I mean yeah hypothetically there could be a blue shadow, but I don't see it, because it isn't there.

This is all dumb and all, but the dumbest thing is people using hex codes. Hex codes aren't an exact measure of light reflection, just the output colour of light bouncing of an object that absorbs a set amount and reflects the rest. The light bouncing of that object is going to be a certain colour itself, and if it bounces off in different ways it could change what sort of light you see at the end and all that poo poo. On top of all the craziness of how light works, your brain also has a bunch of short-cuts and weird ways of dealing with processing visuals. White isn't even a colour, it's just a combination of loads of different colours, which wasn't even an accepted theory until a couple hundred years ago, along with blind spots, which we missed because your brain just straight up makes up poo poo and convinces you it's real. The centre peg that appears blue on the left, but yellow on the right, is actually the same colour.

I mean yeah hypothetically there could be a blue shadow, but I don't see it, because it isn't there. For me the "white" was only white because the two choices were either white and gold or black and blue. The blue is so light that it doesn't really seem that far from white to me. Whereas the "black" didn't seem anywhere close to black. So I felt like white and gold was more accurate than black and blue. For me, light blue and gold would have had my vote if that were one of the options. I wonder how the results would have changes if that were an option originally. quote:Because some peoples' brains don't just see the color value of a bunch of pixels.

Are you saying this happens automatically so that their brain is interpreting it as black, or are you saying they know it doesn't look black, but know it is black because of the lighting? The former would make sense, but the latter seems dumb because we all know the dress is actually black and blue but that really isn't the point here.

All I am saying is that when I saw it, I interpreted the stripes as being black, even considering that when you look at the actual pixels they are gold. To me it just looked like thin black fabric reflecting light, causing it to appear less black. That's how I saw it before I saw the real dress and after. As for the white, like I said, no matter what I try I can't get my brain to believe there is a shadow and interpret it as anything besides blue.

What you posted is literally the counterargument to that statement - an image where you see one color two different ways because of a tint, and the easiest way to see the correct color is to isolate it from the rest of the image...or to check its hex value in Photoshop. This is almost as dumb as the image where the guy concluded it must be white and gold because of a comparison of color temperature corrections that were both for outdoor lighting.

My brain is broken or something Yesterday when I looked at this it was "obviously" black and blue. I thought people were just trolling or something I just looked at it again about 30 minutes ago and it was "obviously" white and gold. I just looked at it again a few seconds ago and its back to blue and black! What the hell? Is it because I just woke up? Also lol @ "50 shades of meh"

 at the nerds arguing about pixel colors.If you don't understand the controversy was over the actual, in-reality, color of the dress, and why it's so difficult for most people to "switch" you need to get educated:

It was never about the actual color of the dress, it was about what color the dress appeared to be in the picture. If it was about the actual dress the argument would have ended as soon as a picture of the original dress came out(which happened almost immediately).

I don't even know what people are arguing about. Is it a dress or a shirt? Is up, down or is left, right? Does Mario really say "so long, gay bowser!"? Also there isn't a hex code for gold.

My favorite part was my coworker saying, "White and gold. It's obviously a blue fluorescent light causing it to look that way for you. I've seen it a thousand times. I even asked my photography buddy and he agreed with me.  " I told him, "Well, there's evidence for both sides, but someone found that dress on amazon, or at least one that looks strikingly similar, and if you google for it you can find it too." He saw this page and said, even looking at the title of the product, that it was just under a more intense blue light

It's because of the lighting and the lovely camera. It's really washed-out, so the black part is a dark golden brown and the blue is pale, but it's also backlit, so everything is really dim. In that contrast, some people see the blue and automatically infer that the darker color is black, and some people see the gold and infer that the lighter color is white. If you just crop out the front of the dress itself and look at that, it's dim, washed-out blue and golden brown, which the RGB values confirm. I've heard people saying that it's because people's rods and cones literally sense the colors differently, which is bullshit. If nothing else, there's a hell of a lot more colors out there that people shouldn't agree on if that's the case. Sham bam bamina! has a new favorite as of 13:13 on Mar 3, 2015 |

Halloween costume idea for the ladies (or dudes who'd be comfortable wearing a dress): get two dresses in this style, one white and gold, and one blue and black. Change back and forth several times over the course of the Halloween party and pretend to have no idea what people are talking about when they ask about it.

My photographin' girlfriend said white and gold when she first saw it, too, though she did not go so far as to insist on it after seeing other pictures. Maybe they know something we don't.
