Joanne Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 we will never know the real colour of the dress. For all we know, a blue light could be behind the camera... at the end of the day it's a rubbish picture with terrible lighting!
Arreks Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 we will never know the real colour of the dress.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]29370[/ATTACH] I hate to be wrong so I thought I was right at first, but later on I learned that it is legitimately black and blue.
Arthur Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 we will never know the real colour of the dress. Blue and black I reckon. http://mashable.com/2015/02/26/dress-white-gold-blue-black/
DMcGuigan Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 White and Gold originally, read the post above it, looked at the image again, blue and black. Now I can't unsee blue and black.
Arreks Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Now I can't unsee blue and black. Yup!! crazy isn't it?! sometimes you have to go outside or stop looking at it for a bit, it's crazy how the brain works.
Iain.Faulkner Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Brown and violet, although apparently it is officially blue and black. Scroll down this page The colour of this dress is totally dividing the world. | The Advertiser and there is an analysis as to why different people see it differently. I'm another one for violet and brown...... :-)
danelliott87 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 White and gold for me. Horrible dress too!
CAM Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 So this is what caused a fuss on Twitter today! I see light blue banded with a sort of copper-ish colour. Looks quite nasty!
witch Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 White and gold I can't see any other colours! I've always had an issue with that colour that could be green or blue, I see it as green whereas others see it as blue - I wonder if this is the same sort of thing?
abillybob Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 There is a bit of an explanation here It's crazy though that people can see this so differently - everyone else I have asked so far have said Blue and Black... If it's due to evolution the way we see the colour of the dress does that not mean that the people who can see the correct colour Black & Blue are more evolved that the other people who can only see Gold & White.....
Joanne Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 BUT... I think we can all agree that it is a minging dress... 1
sonofsanta Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 White and gold, at least on this poxy old 17" TN monitor. But I can see how horribly unbalanced the colour is, and looking at the images in the linked article, the blue/black combo looks correct - as in, you can see the background, and everything there (people etc.) looks correct, whereas the white/gold image is overblown. Related thing about how weird our eyes/brains are with colour: McCollough effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. By all accounts, that can break your colour perception for up to three months, though I've not been brave/daft enough to try it.
LosOjos Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) It's #655635 and #8999bb (approximately) Seriously though, I see it as blue/black but both my OH and daughter see white/gold. Happy to confirm in Photoshop I was right (nearly) EDIT: to mess with your head even more, today's xkcd (HINT: both dresses are the same colour) http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/images/3/3f/dress_color.png Edited February 27, 2015 by LosOjos

synaesthesia Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Definitely black and blue here! Coworker says white and gold
Quackers Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I saw black and blue, but others in the office said it was white and gold, so i opened up photoshop and used the colour dropper, dropped it on where they said it was white and its blue and they admitted defeat.
BassTech Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) White and gold here, colleague black and blue! what is this wizardry? Edited February 27, 2015 by BassTech
ICTLady Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 This is cool (colour perception): eChalk: Colour perception
abillybob Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Just tested this with 30 children 13 of them said Gold and white and the others said blue and black. Interesting.
LeMarchand Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Show them the picture I posted and watch their reactions as they start seeing black/blue! Nope - still see W/G. If it's due to evolution the way we see the colour of the dress does that not mean that the people who can see the correct colour Black & Blue are more evolved that the other people who can only see Gold & White..... I think you'll find that the W/G people are the free thinkers who aren't bound by your conventional notions of "reality" .
