What color is this stupid dress

Looks more like blue and brown to me.

So... is this really news somehow?

It is a trick of the optic nerves in your eye

the dress is blue and black, no question about it, the website it's sold off of confirms it

to some people at first look, especially dictated by the color they see around the picture, it's white and brown, but it's a matter of the lighting and an optical illusion

I don't understand how a picture with poor lighting is an optical illusion. It just looks like it's a photo taken with a bad camera. The picture on Amazon is clearly blue and black though.

I see on Amazon the reviews are "confused" about the colors. Is this just another one of those things where everybody makes joke reviews on Amazon? Am I just dumb today? I don't understand.

But what color is the dress in the first post now?

white and gold

by the way, if you see white and gold, then look at this - http://i.imgur.com/EperHxt.jpg

it'll stop being white and gold

I saw the dress as white and gold the first time I looked at it. Then I read the article that accompanied it, looked at it again and saw it as blue and black. I had recently watched this episode of Brain Game, so that made sense to me lol. It's definitely blue and black

i think we're oppressing the dress by forcing our labels on to it

i mean gahd just let it be what it is

but like yeah i see white and gold, and when you go in to photoshop and pick the colours they're white and gold, i understand and appreciate the fuckery at hand here but it's a crap photo to begin with

also the dress' design is eh

trip

It's definitely not the royal blue that it's advertised as though.

I really want to be able to see it as white/gold but I don't think it's possible. I mean, knowing it's black and blue is kind of reaffirming but I wish I knew what everyone else was seeing.

The pictures of it being sold as blue and black on the website also show other color options being available. One of which is gold and white. At the least the picture I saw did. So my conclusion is that both are correct.

Oh, so this is just people making a big deal out of a bad picture. Okay. Still dumb

FTFY

But yeah. I have no idea how this got to be such a big story. Kind of fun to see who sees what colors though. I can't bring myself to see anything but white and gold, even when operating under the assumption that there is only 1 color scheme and that scheme is blue and black.

I can't even remotely begin to see how the dress is white and gold. Not once did it ever even come close to looking that way to me. o.o It just looks blue and brownish black to me.

how are you guys seeing it that way

is it magic?

wut

SERIOUSLY HOW

HOW IS THAT EVEN CLOSE TO WHITE AND GOLD

HOOOOOW

(trip post to be safe)

Blue and Black: 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.

Only once has the mysterious dress slightly looked bluish.

White and gold master race.
