The colors of this photo will appear different to everyone. I think?

do we all agree on pink and green?
That's black and blue, the OP is brownish gold and bluish white. Are people just rehosting this picture to trick me, or did you edit this picture somehow.
the picture of the actual dress on page 1 or 2 (depending on 100ppp or not) calls BS.
Here it is again
Ok, this finally did it. When I took my glasses off AND held my phone as far away from my face as I could, I started to see the blue and black. Putting my glasses back on or bringing it closer to my face immediately turned it back to white and gold though.
EDIT: OH FUCKING GOD IT JUST CHANGED TO BLUE AND BLACK PERMANENTLY WHAT THE FUCK

It's a white and gold dress with a cool blue ambient light. The cool light is giving the white sections a blue tint and the gold a slight brown.
I have no idea where the black and blue people are coming from.

I assume there's some brain interpretation trickery going on depending on how you unconsiously interpret the lighting of the photo.

It's back to being white and gold for me.

I'm still amazed that this color could be considered "black" to some people.
I'm scared.
Sure, if you take a tiny splotch out, it no longer looks black. In the context of the photo, it looks like somewhat faded black fabric.

the two colors, from photoshop. dunno how you can say that's not gold
I saw these colors. Blue and black people being 'higher functioning' my ass. I actually see the real colors in the image.

White/Gold. The white part I can understand as being slightly blue, but I can't understand the gold part being black

I see absolutely no White or Gold.
Same, but only as if it were hung up in a room with the ceiling light on. The tinge is uneven and more pronounced toward the top.

I tested it on my girlfriend. Asked her what the colors were before telling her what the options were. She saw black and blue.
Can someone show this to someone, but tell them it's white and gold (or blue and black) and don't give them the other option? I want to see how it's interpreted if you don't know what you're supposed to see.

I was seeing white and gold, very obviously, on the top, original picture.
Thanks to alrights bottom picture I now see the top as blue and black as well.
Fucking eyes, how do they work.
Yeah, I see it clearly now too. Having a comparison really helps.

But they're all different shades of the same color. I would find the more colorful section of it to be more informative than the darker one. My brain would reject the blackness. Although, the top can kind of look like a dusky gray in the darker versions of the image...
Magenta and hunter green.
It's either black or it's not. And it's not in the photo in the OP. The dress can be in actuality black rather than gold, and that's fine which is what the followup image is for but in the OP image... it's not black.
1. because the colours in the image are objectively blue and black (with parts of the black having gold tinges)
2. because the dress itself is actually blue and black
easy peasy
The dress on the left is white/gold, first time me seeing it for that dress. The original was the dress on the right

First of all it's obvious the color balance is off, which is giving what looks to be black lace a brown color.
Here it is somewhat color corrected to reduce some of the yellow cast (taking samples from the black and white fabric in the bottom-left corner and some of the grey points in the background), making the black tones more neutral (RGB). Not a complete correction but a clearer representation of the color (considering we also have this photo).
As for the main fabric though I'm genuinely amazed that people are seeing the blue color as white though, it's baffling to me. Opened in three different browsers to make sure it wasn't some bizarre embedded color profile people are seeing differently.
Is it just that color specifically or how far into the blue spectrum does this go? Surely no one sees the GAF light theme blue as white.
I could understand people making the mistake there.

I would say it's more purple than pink.
That the colors I see too.
For the "white & gold" crew, is this something similar to what you're seeing? That's white & gold to me.
A little darker than that.
Heh. Look up the chessboard illusion.
These are the primary colors I see in the photo.

light blue and gold.
i can certainly understand calling it white and gold, but anyone saying black is crazy.
I see a light blue, and a darker brownish goldenish color. Both in the OP's picture, and in these isolations. In these sorts of isolations, does everyone see the colors exactly the same as they appear in the OP's picture? I just don't get how anyone would call (132, 112, 75) as "black" for example, or (150, 167, 210) as white, even though most people are saying at least one of those.
I'm still amazed that this color could be considered "black" to some people.
I'm scared.
It may not be #000000 in the photo, but we can deduce that it's black by having seen black having light shined on it in various ways in other photos.
