This is the correct answer. I think the whole black and blue thing is internet hysteria, like the witch trials and stuff. A few of us are standing strong with the truth.

The dress is so obviously Blue and black. How in the world are people seeing white and gold?

You're yielding to peer pressure. Don't knuckle under to internet bullies. It's white and gold.

I'm a guy.

Who cares?

Stupid bastard eye trickery.

White and gold last night. Damn sure it's blue and black now.

What?
It was white and gold just a second ago. Now black and blue

Lighting. And what you're viewing it on matters.

It's not hard to see it as both because the lighting is so terrible.

If you look at the top of the dress where the vest is you get a white coat/dress and a brownish/gold trim.

Now move down a bit to where the hips would be and look at the background to the left of the dress that is "properly lit" and look at the black/white cloth.

I still can't figure out wtf lighting or setting her camera was on to make that royal blue look that light.

It's just overexposed.

In this case, it’s probably because the image is overexposed, experts said.

“Based on what I have been able to gather from the internet, the image is of a blue/black dress that has been significantly overexposed resulting in its general white/gold impression,” says Mark Fairchild, director of the Program of Color Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

“The blue and black are reflecting enough light to scale up to white and gold with the overexposure. What little you can see of the background shows this overexposure (and that overexposure has been digitally enhanced in some versions floating around the internet).”

OH OH OH

“The second, and more important explanation, in this case, is through a perceptual mechanism we call ‘discounting the illuminant’. Humans perceive object colors based on the light coming from the object and their understanding of the illumination falling on the object. If we are tricked somehow and make the wrong interpretation of illumination then we perceive the colors of objects incorrectly.”

You people don't understand light.

Got myself to finally see the white/gold briefly by focusing in on the top. Quickly changed back to blue/black though. From all the reactions, it seems like geezers are around 90/10 in favor of white/gold. Color sensitivity change as we get older?

I don't think anybody is disputing the fact that the photo was manipulated for this purpose. It's just crazy how successful they were in creating such a divide. We know it's not a magical dress.

Im trying to force myself to see the White and Gold. Im going to have to view this from every PC and mobile device in my house once i get home.

I must see the white and gold!
