  They need to invest in better lighting in that store, it’s super dark in there

  I always saw blue and black, no idea how anyone could see it as white and gold unless they were colorblind tbh

    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.

      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?

    It’s the lighting.

      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…?

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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

      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!

    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 .

    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.

  I am already time blind, and now events are repeating?! I’m not even dead yet and I’m watching reruns!

  Infinite multiverse at our disposal and nothing to watch.

    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.

      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.

      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.

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

  source

  • chuckleslord@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ 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.

      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.
