DCSaints_fan Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I actually saw it as light blue, dark brown. Could never get it to look white/gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 It's all a matter of contrasts and lighting. Magicians have been using this effect for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grego Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 It's all a matter of contrasts and lighting. Magicians have been using this effect for yearsThat seems right. But if you isolate those colors in that example, they are actually the same. If you isolate the dress colors, they are shades of brown and blue-ish/purplish-not actually black and royal blue. Some people see these colors and literally see black and royal blue, just like the actual dress, even though the colors are brown and light blue. How can 20 something percent be right about the real color of the dress but still see the actual colors in the picture wrong? I'm talking to people who say the picture and the actual dress are essentially identical, and they don't see brown or gold or tan at all. Sorry if I'm not explaining it right, but I think there's something more than contrast and lighting with this picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor703 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Sometimes I think it would be perfectly justified if an alien species decided mankind just wasn't worth it and blew up the planet. The internet meltdown over this dress is one of those times. I find it interesting. The fact that we all think we see colors the same and then something like this can be so divided is quite amazing. Me personally, I see black and blue. I see no white or gold anywhere on that dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sisko Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 This whole thing reminds me of something David Cross said in one of his standup routines referring to W's comment that the terrorists hate our freedom "You have freedom and this is what you do with it?

StillUnknown Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 First I saw it as white & gold, now I only see it as black and blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me personally, I see black and blue. I see no white or gold anywhere on that dress. I think it's pretty amazing too. I'm totally dumbfounded by it. To be clear, you're saying you see black and blue, not "I see brown and light blue but I think the dress in real life is black and blue", right? First I saw it as white & gold, now I only see it as black and blue. Same (not sane, lol) question to you - you don't see the stripes as brown, right?

Taylor703 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Nope, just black and blue. I didn't even know it was a thing when my girlfriend showed it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I preferred the llamas. What's the llamas thing? Keep hearing folks referring to llamas and alpacas but they don't really get into it. What did I miss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grego Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Nope, just black and blue. I didn't even know it was a thing when my girlfriend showed it to me. wow. thats wild. even with the myriad explanations, i dont see one that really fits. Saying it was under or overexposed makes a little sense. still, tis a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The dress is definitely gold and light blue. This is not even a relatively interesting picture or debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you see when you see a picture of the original dress (assuming you've seen it)? Just a darker version of the controversial one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Heh. On Petapixel they have a poll going on the color of the dress. It's nearly dead even right now. http://petapixel.com/2015/02/27/what-color-is-this-dress-is-it-under-or-over-exposed/ Nice write up on the whole thing as well as a link to the actual dress.

PCS Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I will admit that I see white and gold,(though the white is a bit "bluish"). That said,I accept that it's actually Blue and Black. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckus Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 This one has really brought out the haters recently. So many people complaining. It's ****ing interesting - get over yourselves. My wife saw white and gold. I saw blue and black. It really is bizarre to sit next to someone who is seeing the "other" colors. It is really hard to comprehend how someone else can see vastly different colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
