Well, afaik it was confirmed to be black and blue. Whatever, you may see it gold and white because your brain focuses more on the lighter parts. Try covering them with your hand or something
I’ve tried so many things from squinting to covering parts of the picture to adjusting the light in my room. I know this dress is blue and black because I’ve seen it while not being over exposed. I just can’t get my brain to recognize it any other way than gold and white in this picture.
Yeah I just don’t understand this as well, even if the dress was confirmed black and blue, where the heck are those colors in the image? The blue I can still go with if using color picker but the gold is clearly there, even color picker says it’s gold from the image alone. Doesn’t mater what the real dress is colored in if the picture conveys a different story. I see also mostly white and gold and no matter what can’t change it besides looking at the other images of this dress.
Black material isn’t perfect and still reflects light, given there’s a very yellow light source and the picture is overexposed it is showing the black as a “gold” due to the yellow tint.
I do believe it actually was black and blue, but I find it very hard to believe that anyone would perceive the way it is presented in this picture, with that lighting and level of overexposure, as black and blue.
Even looking at the RGB values of individual pixels, they are distinctly brown/gold-ish and a pastellish faded out purple.
The actual dress is black and blue. The pixels in that image are a VERY light blue and like a beige type color. You can drop it into that color picker app and see.
Yeah couldn’t agree more, even highlighting the dark pixels does nothing in python if they are closer to the pure black hex value. Simple RGB values of this image is just not black but at least some sort of light blue/blue if not white.
I don’t think it’s possible to force your brain to see it one way or another. I did see it as white and gold once but it was only for a split second and only after staring at it for a long time. One of my friends tried to prove it was white and gold by messing with the white balance in Photoshop, but that did nothing for me. I’d be surprised if it worked by just covering parts of the picture, it might be a more external lighting perception trick.
Yeah, I’ve tried the tricks, and I’ve seen other pictures of the actual dress, but I still see dark yellow and light blue / gray. Which, to be fair, are the actual color values in the image.
Look at the darker side and tell me you don’t see black and blue
My brain is broken. I still only see white and gold.

Basically the pic is fried to hell and back.

I wonder if this picture is showing how many of us need to adjust our monitors…
I only saw white and gold before i did that and now i can only see black and blue.
