NFT: What Color Is This Dress?

Pego61 : 2/26/2015 10:09 pm


Seriously. What color do you see? This simple question has put the citizens of the world world at odds with each other. Marriages have broken up. Wars have been declared. Utter chaos.

Just so I'm understanding this right.. people who are saying it's blue, you're saying the color of the dress in that picture above is the same color of a home Giants jersey? And if you put them side by side, you'd see the same color?


Fighting the good fight, lol.

Looks the same to me every time- gold and white, on a phone and two different monitors.

What's interesting is the expressions of shock and amazement. It's like people have never seen an optical illusion before.

Pretty cool. Was distinctly white and gold for me until about 20 minutes ago. Seeing blue and much darker gold now.

Haha, I'm more amazed at how people are "debating" it. I totally understand finding it cool how two people can look at the same picture and see different things. I personally find it cool for sure.

But what the hell is there to debate? Whether or not it is blue and black or white and gold, clearly no matter what, someone is experiencing an optical illusion and (I guess until recently) there was no way to know who is right and wrong. So I don't get why people were passionately defending what they saw. Just enjoy the fun part.

LOL, yeah... it's pretty funny. I'm honestly just trying to figure out where people are seeing black.
It's Blue and Black, bitches...

From the mouth of the woman, who originally posted the picture.

Quote:
Two women are behind the viral dress that has everyone confused. Here's what they told us.

The picture was initially posted on Tumblr by a 21-year-old singer named Caitlin McNeill who lives on the tiny Scottish island of Colonsay.

In a telephone conversation with Business Insider on Thursday evening, McNeill explained that the dress in the picture was worn to her friends' wedding. Some people see the dress as it appears in the photo as white and gold, while others see it as blue and black.

The dress was worn by the bride's mother. McNeill and her friends first realized something was different about the dress when the mother sent her daughter the now-famous photo.


Quote:
"I got to the wedding and the mother was wearing the dress," McNeill said. "Obviously it was blue and black."

No, a lighter shade. Definitely not giants blue.
It is Black and Blue.

THAT is blue and black. But there's no way it's the same one. The picture even shows that it comes in different colors. The original one is not those colors.
Here's an idea

That dress in question is absolutely...

blue and black in my eyes. But, if ugly was a color. I'd choose that one.
I dont doubt that the dress itself is black and blue  
Deej : 2/27/2015 10:26 am : link
but that doesnt mean that the colors in the picture are black and blue. It is plainly periwinkle and dull gold in the picture.

Manipulated and I'm seeing one thing, and my wife sees another. It has switched colors for both of us, but not at the same time. We now see it differently at the same time when it was the same last night. Pretty cool. I thought my daughter had cracked the case with the color inversion or negative view on her phone, but apparently not.
It is crazy  
Maximus, Esq. : 2/27/2015 11:47 am : link
My wife and my toddler looking at the picture on this thread see white and gold; I see blue and brown. We are looking at the same picture.
It's a stupid debate  
Bramton1 : 2/27/2015 12:46 pm : link
But I did love a comment I saw online.

Does this mean that black people are actually gold?
There is no "debate" lol  
Ralph.C : 2/27/2015 2:29 pm : link
The real color of the dress is black and blue. The only question is what color does the dress look TO YOU in the picture. There is no right or wrong answer. I saw nothing but pale gold and white all day. Now, I see pale gold and pale blue. It's quite a phenom!

This means that this effect can be recreated. Soon there will be movies with scenes that people see in different colors. :)
1. it's an ugly dress  
Berrylish : 2/27/2015 2:30 pm : link
2. who gives a fuck, why it's all over the damned place.... i dunno it's too stupid.
3. its a bad picture.
4. the internet has wasted too much time on this ugly dress and the Kardashians.
I call BS on #4.

Greg from LI : 2/27/2015 2:44 pm : link
Every time I've seen this stupid picture, it's looked white and gold. This time, when I opened the thread, I saw completely different colors. Now, the same picture clearly is blue and dark brown. Odd.

I can understand it when people say blue if they mean a reallllly light sky blue type color (I see that, too.. but I perceive it as actually being white just in bad lighting)

And brown makes sense, too.. it's a shitty gold color. Close enough.

But the "actual" dress (according to the picture on the website) is like.. Giants or Rangers blue and BLACK. People see those colors when they look at the original picture? I literally see the same thing every single time. It hasn't changed once.
At first viewing,  
Dave in Hoboken : 2/27/2015 3:23 pm : link
I thought it was light blue and a brownish gold. After looking at it a second and third time, it's definitely white and gold. Just bad lighting.

Greg from LI : 2/27/2015 3:26 pm : link
I'm looking at the picture, and it's medium blue and chocolate brown, and it didn't look remotely like that the first dozen or so times I saw it. I mean, it literally looks like a completely different dress now.

I can SORT of see that.. like I said, I get where the blue and brown come from, in actuality that's what it looks like.. but my eyes are just telling me it's shitty backlit white/gold. But where the hell are people seeing black in that picture? I don't see anything even close.
The only color I can see

Is black and blue
Apparently, the designer confirmed its blue and black?

We showed the exact same picture to both my daughters.

One said white and gold, the other said blue and black. Both were definitive. Nuts. I see white and gold.

And yes, I heard they confirmed its in fact, blue and black!
It's not white.  
TheBigBlueOne : 2/27/2015 5:25 pm : link
But I can't see the black.
I'm genuinely fascinated by this.  
arcarsenal : 2/27/2015 6:06 pm : link
I have absolutely no idea where people are seeing black on the dress.

In the website picture of the alleged dress, it's clearly blue/black beyond a shadow a doubt. But in the original picture I do not see a hint of black anywhere.
here is the dress in a properly lighted store window (per NYT):

That was done specifically to ruffle the panties of the oversensitive type. Like.. you, for example!

Glad to see it worked.
