NFT: What Color Is This Dress?

since I see blue and I guess gold ( def not black )

When I first saw it was white and gold and now it's changing. WTF? Up your butt joe boo

on you iPhone or iPad . This is how it turns to the gold color. My 15 year old figured it out.

for me. But my eyes are failing, slowly...

After I see Fish wearing it again.

That's special I guess?

Lulz

but the white balance is off.

All I see is blue and black.

I clearly see white and gold and thought this was some weird bullshit where different people get a different picture on their computer. I just showed my girlfriend next to me and she says she sees blue and black.

As I'm typing this I was scrolling down on the picture it turned blue and black and then right back to white and gold.

This is cray cray.

It's a white and gold dress in shitty lighting.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

I knew this was going to be here.

I see light blue and shit-gold

What the hell am I missing?

But I can tell you, that dress is ugly as shit.

It's a low resolution photo and the dress is back-lit.. meaning, the light is behind the dress and not on the part you're seeing. So the white looks dim and discolored.

It's white, nonetheless.

On my phone in front of my face its white and gold but pull it further away and it becomes blue and black

I think are just trolls

color of the dress. Even though it's not what I personally see.

No way. That's not the same dress. That dress is much darker. It's purple and black.

LOL, there's no way that's the same dress.

No white or black, to my eyes. And to me it's the same every time. I suppose there might be a lighting effect. Perhaps in different light the colors would be different, but it is interesting that others see it differently.

that's the dress.

It's on the girl's Tumblr page. And it's on the internet. Which is never wrong.

This girl is trolling the planet right now and winning the internet.

I will just leave this here

there is no other choice

All night this dress was clearly an off white and brown. Now it's full blown blue and black...wtf?!

it's blue and brown.

So this is the next stupid social media garbage that will be played out in a day or two. Time to deactivate my accounts for a couple of days

^^^ this is the correct answer. However, the dress appears blue in the crappy picture.

caused by the surrounding lighting.

and black on my computer.

.

white and gold on my computer.

Once this is resolved, there will be world peace.

The entire light source is BEHIND the dress so the white doesn't look as bright as everything behind it.

If the light were on the other side, the white would be illuminated and look brighter.

I can't believe this is a "thing" or even worse, that people are somehow seeing BLACK.

The explanation is in the wired article but don't let me stop you from pounding your chest and waving your dick around.. You're right, you're smarter than the rest of us and you see it the right way.

The far left picture at the top is the actual color of the dress if it's front-lit.

In the original picture, the bright light is behind it so it's shadowed and appears darker and is triggering people to see it that way.

Really not that difficult.

Lay a white t shirt in front of you under a light and then take the shirt and hold it in FRONT of the light so that the light is behind the shirt and is blocking your view of the light itself. The side of the shirt you see will appear darker and somewhere in the vicinity of the tint you see in the picture because it's shadowed and the light is the other side.

For the record... THIS is the color black. Which is not anywhere on that dress.

So in very familiar with terms like white balance, backlighting, etc...

having said that, I still see think it's blue and brown.

Today I see blue and black. I don't think it has anything at all to do with differentiated color sense.

For sure. I'm using a calibrated screen fwiw

Ok fair enough. :)

Two points..

1. I can't believe we are even arguing about this

2. I shouldn't post when I first wake up in the morning.


Cheers
