Do any of you who say it's white and gold have any idea what the word "context" means? Or "lighting", or "optical illusion" for that matter?
The actual dress is black and blue. Lol anything can go viral these days thanks to social media
Is society really that stunned by science? jfc
I only see black and blue?
@feeling no matter how hard I look at it I only see black and blue o.o
I can switch between the two.
This is insane...LOL
i can only see white and gold no matter how hard i look... o.o
i can see where the blue comes from, it definitely has a blue tint, but not black...

[quote=TheZigen]Where the f are you people seeing black? I can understand the blue because the shadow on the dress is making the white look blueish...but...black? How is gold black? ?
I mean, optically the colors are blue and brownish to me, but if we saw this dress out in normal sunlight its true colors would be gold and white[/quote]
it has been confirmed 100% that the dress is black and blue.
@TrueAtheist: now I'm just wondering what kind of messed up lighting the original poster was in to take such an off colored image...

Nope, the actual color of the dress is black and blue. This is what it actually looks like:

Your eyes be tricking you.
Look at the picture of the dress from the store it is sold, and it is dark blue&black - tilt your laptop monitor back to see it change colors too.
Once you see a picture of what it looks like in normal lighting (i.e. the blue&black stripes from the store catalogue) it's obvious and you don't see it as white/gold anymore when you look at the picture.
At first I saw it as Gold&White (gold with bluish white thinking it was because of the shadow) then I was messing with my phone camera settings and took a picture set as "cloudy" and now it looks Blue&Black.
Light blue and brown (went on paint took the colors) At I first though it was white and gold but the lighting is terrible made it seem that in my opinion.
It's light blue and brown
At first I saw it as white and gold, now I see it as black and blue o.o
this is stupid, its a stupid angle with crap lighting, its like asking someone if a stack of money is all $1 bills or $100 bills judging by the bill at the top of the stack
Its Black and Blue because the crappy light source is reflecting off the fibers of the black ( "gold" ) cloth, that or the black is just faded out to poop so it looks brownish gold
It's white and gold

i c blu n gold doe
I see blue and gold @_@
No matter how hard I try, I can NEVER see blue and black, just white and gold. My eyes must suck
It was white and gold and then I inverted the colors on my phone and it was still white and gold. Then I returned the colors to normal and it was blue and black.
It's blue and black. That dress isn't made in white & gold. Just the crappy lighting.
I see gold and blue.
Even after screwing around with the brightness, I don't see where pitch black is supposed to be coming from.
I can easily imagine where the white/blue can come from, but black escapes me entirely.

I couldn't see the black at first either.
Try dimming your screen to the darkest it can go, and then form a hole using your hand and look through the hole to stare at the screen for a long time.
After a while, the gold somewhat looks like black.
I see gold and white, but the dress apparently is supposed to be black and blue..
it looks white and gold but the OP posted another picture where its 100% blue and black, help.
I must have some fricking amazing eyes because the first time I looked at it, I could not believe people were saying the dress was white and gold.

my colour dropper agrees with me
It looks silvery white and gold
[quote=Wanton]@drager260: do your parents see white and gold or do they THINK its white and gold and think it only looks blue ish because they think theres a shadow cast on it[/quote]
They're 100% positive it's white and gold.

Its black and blue. The lighting of the picture makes it look otherwise.

I see white & gold.. I don't see ANY hints of black or blue whatsoever.
[quote=Wanton]its black and blue
i thought it was white and gold at first, because i thought the white only looked blue because there was a shadow cast on it and the cold was dark because of that shadow
however after much thought i now see the truth
it is black and blue
because there is no shadow.
and if you consider the quality of the photo (hard light from the background means theres hard light on the dress itself also cause that is the quality of the camera) then the dress, if darkened down would surely be black and blue[/quote]
Both my parents swear they see white & gold while my brothers and I see black and blue.

I saw black & blue first then white & gold and now black & blue again.
