For the record, I'm not stressing over it but I think that it's extremely cool how our eyes see colors so differently. So I'm asking PC for their input.



So it's been around social media just recently and everyone is debating whether this is a white and gold dress or black and blue.

I see it as a light blue and a kind of gold. Apparently it's got something to do with our cones and retina or something.

I saw an explanation as to why this is, and I guess it makes sense. Don't have the link for it on hand, though. I could see how it would be blue and black, but I'm personally seeing white and gold here (or, to be more precise, maybe more like bronze and very sky blue).

I just know people are making a fuss about it, and I seriously don't get why.

All I see is #737395 and #7d6e43...


In all seriousness though, I see it as gold and white next to the horrid overexposed background and darkened foreground. Blue I can see... but black?

EDIT: Just as I posted this and went on facebook, I realised it was blowing up. Came back here and now the picture is blue and black and now my eyes and brain hurt.

Post here if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Spoiler: the dress' true colour

i honestly don't care what the actual dress is, in THAT goddamn picture (the original), the dress IN that goddamn picture IS white and gold. lighting, retina, filter, blah blah blah, the dress in that picture is white and gold. I could care less about the reaaaaal dress, the picture that I am seeing with my eyes is white and gold.

just to make it clear to everyone, i am fully aware the real dress is black and blue.

Ugh. This stupid dress... WHO THE PSYDUCK CARES? DX I'm actually getting so tired of it.

Also, when I opened this thread, it looked white though... then for some reason it went back to blue and black. This dress is possessed. IT'S A STUPID UGLY DRESS CAN WE JUST NOT TALK ABOUT IT BEFORE MY BRAIN EXPLODES.

I find it quite stupid how people are divided into camps over some picture of the ugliest dress I've ever seen.

For me, I have been seeing blue and gold. I can get why people see different colours because everyone perceives colours differently due to biologically or whatever reasons.

The amount of attention this dress is getting is still absurd to say the least.

I enjoy how most of the posts in this thread are about how dumb it is that people care yet everyone has given an opinion.

I see black and white #teachthecontroversy

I thought it was just a regular old ugly white and gold dress lol. I think it's actually very interesting because I really can't see the black and blue even though it's clearly a black and blue dress!
