I only see white gold

Yes, I do remember ten years ago.

The blue of the dress is pretty obvious, the black details are a different, golden hue due to ambient light. I “know” it’s black, but it looks dark gold

Were people just stupid or something and not capable of knowing when the ambient light and camera is affecting the colour of the image?

WTF is this about people getting exact pixel colours?! The question is what colour is the dress, not the colour of the picture in which the dress is depicted!

Using pixel colour to determine the colour of a dress is like saying Martin Luther King had grey skin because the photo he’s depicted in is in black and white!

I swear it was blue and black this morning, but now it’s white and gold!

Thants so cool i finally got to see both color version and how my brain blends between them. For anyone wondering how, I am in a dark room with the phone (darkmode lemmy) and it was looking white gold to me. But when I squish my eyes to darken the incoming screen light and blocking of the right light background with my thumb I could make it fade into blue with black stripes.

Blue and gold to me

I stuck my foot in my mouth about this dress. It was about a year later, and I didn’t realize it had been proven to be black and blue, and I said something snarky when someone I liked said it was black and blue. I was so sure it was gold and white, I made an ass of myself.

Here’s a pretty good Slate article on this dress, and how important this image became:

When I look at the image attached to this post, I can’t see anything but white and gold, as I always have. This, in spite of now knowing it’s black and blue.

Always saw it as white/gold first but after a few seconds I perceive it as blue/black and then it stays that way.

I still see both colors alternatingly.

you fools the dress is clearly grey :3

whats next? are you gonna post who remembers yanny/laurel? bitch be fr

On my phone the background of Lemmy (not the photo) is black. And what is clearly gold in the photos doesn’t look anything like black.

I know the dress is blue and black and that’s what pisses me off. I can’t even see blue and black if I try.

Just asked my kids (Not around for the first time). One says blue and black/gray and the other said purple and green/gray. I’ve never known anyone who actually saw it as white and gold. Only heard that people do.
