The picture’s exposure/brightness whatever has been so overadjusted that the black and blue looks white and gold.
You can tell me over and over that its “actually black and blue”, and even show me the real dress beside it, but I cannot for the life of me shift my view on the original picture and somehow view the dress as black and blue.
It always depends on the saturation of the image. When it’s fucked up and darkened, it appears blue and black. When lightened, it shows the true white and gold.
Craziest part is that it was used in a famous campaign for domestic abuse several years before the husband in the wedding got arrested for domestic abuse.
It’s clearly white and gold to me. I showed my son and wife and they need to get their eyes checked because they both see blue and black. I could see my wife trolling me, my son too, but I asked him before I asked her, and he’s too young to have seen this the last time it came around.
Actually, it’s funny you say that since I am colorblind and have always seen it as black and blue. More to the point, the dress is actually black and blue.
I looked at it an hour ago, and all I could see was white and gold. I picked up my phone now, and it's blue and black. Your brain is going to interpret it based on the context within which you've been in, and what the local lighting conditions are.
FWIW, as others have mentioned, the actual dress was, in fact, blue and black.
It’s funny that you say this with such strong conviction, because the dress was in fact black and blue, and due to the way the brain perceives color, it can be interpreted as white and gold. It has nothing to do with color blindness.
So about an hour ago I was showing this to my wife, we both saw white and gold and thought this is silly. But now somehow I am seeing blue and black and she is still seeing white and gold. Fuck me.
