Its just grey, never understood that fight it’s just grey and light grey.

I was wonder what the fuck was this deja vu happening I still can’t recollect fs
GaMEChld@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah it was popular for a minute back like in 2013 I think, give or take 1-2 years.

What in the hell, this is the first time I’ve been able to actually see it as blue and black

If you look at the orginal on wikipedia the image is much brighter:
hOrni@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I remember, that I was able to understand people, who saw it as white and gold, but now I can’t. I just see black and blue. I don’t even know which parts are supposed to be gold.
mouse@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
Wait… It was actually white and gold the whole time? I never saw it as white and gold
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes that is how color works; if you take out the blue it won’t look blue.
Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Blue and black, was never able to see white and gold no matter how hard I tried
Emotional_Engi@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
It is edited. The background is much more dimmed.
chuckleslord@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s cause it’s been color corrected to remove the harsh lighting.
How your brain looked at the bright ass room and decided to look at the dress like it was dimly lit still makes no sense to me, but this is why people called those seeing white and gold as crazy.
Toes@ani.social 2 weeks ago
I was one of those gold & white people.
Soulg@ani.social 2 weeks ago
I was always blue and black, except for one specific time I remember it being white and gold. But only that once, it was extremely surreal.
imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
First day I saw this dress and thought it was white and gold. Next day I saw another picture that was blue and black and I couldn’t unsee it. I went and found the same picture from exactly that source I saw the other day. It was blue and black. My brain broke.
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Same! I got my brain to see it that way once after trying for like 30 minutes, but never again.

You and one of my mom’s very intelligent friends. Really makes me question if the high “what if colors are perceived differently” thought wasn’t completely on point.
forrgott@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Here’s one to ponder: we assume the data related to our brain from our sense gives us an accurate idea of what’s around us. But from an evolutionary standpoint, that is irrelevant - our senses keep us alive, that’s all.

I see blue and gold.
zephiriz@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
I like the people arguing with the wiki here. That fully explains what it is and why you might see it as different.

This photo does look blue and black to me but when it was a big controversy, it looked white and gold to me

This fucks with my brain so much. The last time I looked at the original pic, it was white and gold and nothing I did could change that. Looking at this one just now, it was white and gold again but this time as I started scrolling down it shifted into blue and black and now that’s how it’s staying.
asmoranomar@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Woah, I was trying to see it the other way and tilted my phone just enough for the picture to rotate - it was immediately apparent what people were talking about. Now I can see it both ways.

Yes, what a nice dress…
…anyway, have you considered joining the army?
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Baby blue, maybe, but that black looks more like brown.
Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
I always saw blue and black, no idea how anyone could see it as white and gold unless they were colorblind tbh
tae_glas@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
the 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.

papalonian@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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?
Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
I’ve seen the original one back when it was first popular, still couldn’t understand the white and gold people
azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
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.

That one is easy, on the left is black and blue and on the right white and gold
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
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).
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
It’s the lighting.
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
What’a always bothered me is, the lighting in the original is so ridiculously blown out that it MUST be blue and black! It could only be white and gold under very dark lighting which is clearly not the case. Unless maybe people are thinking the front is in shadow…?
tomi000@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Crazy, its almost as if color perception is individual and dependent on lighting and surroundings. Obviously only your perception of reality is the “real” one.
Lojcs@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Blue and gold maybe, but white and gold doesn’t even make sense to me. For a white dress to look blue it needs to be under blue light, which would cause the gold highlights to be dark with a blue sheen. The missing blue sheen indicates that either it’s gold under natural lighting or black under yellowish lighting.
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I am not colourblind afaik and I could not for the llife pf me see it as blue and black. The lighting just made no sense fpr that to be the case.
Slab_Bulkhead@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
thats because the OG** photo** (left) it is gold lace on a “white dress” (with a blue tint lighting effect etc) while IRL the dress is black & blue. right side is the edited OP photo. the difference is ‘night and day’ and if these all look the same i’ve got some news for you. … Image
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Ok this confirms my suspicion! In order for it to be white and gold you’d need to see the dress as in shadow. I always assumed it was in light because the image was lile blown out max lighting, but if you then assume that since it’s backlit the dress is in shadow and there isn’t significant front lighting, it could actually be white and gold. This theory has been nagging at me for YEARS and you just solved it, thank you!
ace_garp@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That is what I am seeing now too, same as the first time I saw this.
However, when it got posted to Lemmy ~7months ago I could switch it between colours.
I posted then, about how to do it. Something like defocussing your eyes, and then looking at the sunny part on the right-side, to switch to white&gold.
Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
In 11 years, I’m still unable to see white and gold
realitista@lemmus.org 2 weeks ago
I’m mildly colorblind and it’s just too dark for me to make out. It could be white, blue, etc. But the black part doesn’t look solid enough to be black either. I just think the camera failed to properly get a read at that lighting level .
