Comment on What a nice blue and black dress.
tae_glas@slrpnk.net 18 hours agothe original photo was much more faded than the one posted here, so people’s colour perception depended on how yellow/blue they perceived the photo’s light to be tinted, and how bright/dark their screens were.

That image shows how a white and gold dress could appear to be the same color as the original picture by putting a filter of blue over it, but the original has a shop window in the bg that looks yellow/white, so for me it’s hard to see it as anything but blue and black (which is the actual dress color).

That one is easy, on the left is black and blue and on the right white and gold

I’ve seen the original one back when it was first popular, still couldn’t understand the white and gold people

I’ve always been able to see both colors of the dress by changing the size of the image, so the phenomenon “made sense” to me, but I legitimately have no idea how that image is supposed to explain it lol. There’s two different colored dresses with seemingly random parts highlighted with different colored boxes… are they supposed to look the same in the highlighted area or something?

The connected boxes show that the same color appears on both sides; however, the colored boxes provide context based on the lighting which is further reenforced by the rest of the dress outside the box.
Technology Connections did a video about brown that has the same color of orange on a background that cycles between white and black and the color of orange seems to shift to brown or orange depending on the background.

Id never seen this image before but it’s the clearest and most intuitive illustration of the effect I’ve seen.

In every configuration, every lighting condition, every monitor, every color manipulation, I see that picture as white and gold. Not once have I managed to see the blue dress, except in separate pictures of the same dress.
I understand the actual dress is blue and I understand the color theory, but even with the picture very heavily tinted blue my brain still interprets the dress to be in shadow and therefore white.
