Be Excellent To Each Other

That isn't even remotely similar.

I'll take that as a no then.

Yeah, the dress on the website is clearly black and blue. The dress in the picture is clearly white and gold.

This is how it appears to me as well (although I accept that's not the case). The question has split my team pretty much 50/50 here at work with both sides being outraged at the other team; awesome stuff.

Someone on the Reddit thread said that he could see it as blue/black if he took his tablet into a dark room and viewed the image there so I'm going to try that when I get home and see if it makes a difference.

Friday nights, Bamba-style!

Almost 2 million people have taken the poll so far. 72% say it is white/gold. In that picture. Which it clearly is.

Yep, it's the exciting lifestyle I lead! To be fair I'm only having a quiet night in tonight because tomorrow I'm going to this and then out to get very drunk.

Neat!

Fuck,Yeah!

How on earth are you people seeing white or black. I don't get it.

You're brainwrong. I'm still convinced this white/gold thing is an exceptionally large scale windup.

Most excellent!
Will you ask if you can 'be' Goro?

to be technical, I would say it's violet, at the bluer end of that colour, or cooler, temperature wise. The lace trim, or whatever it is, is blackish.

I'm bemused that people can see this as white and gold. Every image I've looked at is a variation on the above colours. I'm going to assume it's a gamut issue on monitors, or people are wearing glasses with very mild colour altering coatings.

Looks the same on my phone and work monitor, also the same colours glasses on and off. White and gold.

2m people polled, I think that proves the blue/blackers are the weirdos

At a push, I could be willing to say that the main dress material is a very light blue. However the lace is categorically, 100%, without a shadow of a doubt, gold.

Yeah, but we're the right kind of weirdos.

While that's as may be, the dress actually /is/ blue and black, so...

Weirdo.

I seem to get blue and white mixed up all the time!!

Which is fine. The picture isn't though.

The colours in the picture:


What do people see? I see, light blue, darker blue, light gold, dark gold.

I see those colors too Trooper.

Is the internet bored today or something because honestly...

You can put the photo on your phone, show it to people in real life, and still get a split of opinions on what colour it is. I did this in my office this morning. Nothing to do with glasses or displays.

I think it's brilliant. Finally something that *everyone* is discussing that isn't some kind of huge tragedy or live event.

Light grey, dark grey, gold, brown.

If I see one more person talk about this then I'll beat them white and gold.

Also they're not calling each other cunts.

Well, they're not typing it yes.

This link explains science apparently.

Those people who see white and gold are just like Hitler.

I've just put the image in photoshop. It's blue (violet shade) and black(ish)

You've just invoked Goldwin's Law (or Bluewin's Law).

Dark gold? I think the word you're looking for is brown.

Despite knowing it's wrong, I've only ever been able to see it as gold-and-white... except I just looked at it again and suddenly it's thoroughly, utterly, 100% blue-and-black.

You are not the real Doccy-G and are now a pod person

(I cant see anything other than white / gold - maybe a little hint of a lilac / purple in some places on the white and a dirty muddy dark brown but I cant see anything else - like someone else suggested I'm going to try it on a tablet in a dark room)

If you stare at it for 60 seconds then look at a blank wall does it turn into Mother Teresa?

FYI I've seen posted in a few places if you focus on the garment in the bottom right corner (which is sort a dark brown / white) then it will help you to see the dress colours more - if i focus on there then the dress seems more 'light blue' than white but i cant get it to any darker colour and the other bits still look 'gold' / 'brown' to me

A friend of mine found the same earlier - viewing on the same screen etc. Her only explanation was that the ambient light levels in the office had changed.

Splitter!

Whether or not I agree with those in the Bruise Foundation (I don't), at least they have the courage of their convictions. The worst are those hand-wringers in the middle who say it *might* be blue and gold. Fuck those guys.

It was white and gold this morning. When I was in the house.

Now it is blue and black. How bizzar

Isn't this just people's brains disagreeing about how to make sense of a shitty picture and second guess how a shitty phone camera has mangled the colours. The actual colours in the pictures are muddy shades that a dress wouldn't be.

This is what happened for me, too. I thought you'd done something to it...

This was even on PM...

Oh fuck me, on the train the fucking picture looks blue and black.

Natch

.

The Grimlet sees blue and black, Mrs Grim... sees both. Well of course she does.

Mr Daves verdicts:

1) I can choose to see either. gold/white or blue/black.
2) Mainly as it's a poorly taken picture.

I can only see red and green :/





Of course I fucking don't, it's gold and white you colour blind fools.
