There seems to be a debate over on Tumbrl about a dress and what colour it is. People seem to be divided into two groups. To those who see it as blue and black and to those who see is as white and gold. I thought it would be interesting to see your view of the matter and possibly settle the debate.

So the big question is: What colour is the dress?
Also another thing: Why do you think people are seeing it differently?

This is what I was showing to my brother... Sick of it, I copied the photo, opened in photoshop, grabbed both colors, and showed them to him. I wasted 5 minutes of my life (Who cares, I'm always wasting my life).

Seen this already.

It was white and gold the first time I saw it. I scrolled down on the page I was on to read some more. When I scrolled back up it was blue and black. It's now stayed blue and black for me every time I've seen it since (which has been a few times today as it's everywhere on the intenet).

Really?
I mean, I can understand the gold because of the bad lighting, but WHITE? How? D:

I don't see how black could be viewed as gold in any lighting. Black is black, no matter how you view it. Weird.

And I don't see how anyone can see that gold color as black, no matter the lighting. The "white" is more like light blue though.

True. The only way the white turns to blue, for me, is if I stare at the picture & slowly start to close my eyes. Then it turns blue. It is mind boggling. Also, happy cake day!

If you see white, you need to get your eyes checked. The dress is clearly a light blue.

That could be because it seems to be in the shadow and not in the direct light.

Yeah, that's what I got from this article. THe dress itself is blue/black but some bad white calibration makes it look blue/gold. (People assume white and attribute the bluish color to lighting.)

For me, it's white & gold. If you view the dress on the manufactures website, you'll see that they do not make the dress in white & gold.

The dress shown in the picture is much shorter than the one in the manufacturer's site. You sure they are the same?

Yeah they show the dress at a different angle and its clearly blue/black, although I see it as white and gold.

Yeah, you're not wrong there. It does look shorter. But they are definitely the same dress. The Creative Manager of Roman Original's said that they are thinking about making a gold and white version.

If you count the number of white & gold bands, you'll see that both dresses have the exact same amount.

Whatever color you view it as doesn't necessarily mean you're color blind. People's brains color-correct in different ways.

The white has some tinge of light blue and the gold is a little pale so it looks kind of orange.... but I don't understand people who see it black either

Well I saw this story when I went to check my email so I watched the video (with this thread on my 2nd monitor). Initially I saw White/Gold but they showed the dress at a different angle and saw black/blue. Then this thread came up and I still saw gold/white. I went to rewatch the video, with this thread on my 2nd monitor, and I saw black/blue on the video. Looked at my 2nd monitor with this thread/picture up and all I see is black/blue...

Edit: Now I see the picture as white/gold, wtf...
