Not even the brighter version looks white and gold to me. It's so obviously blue and black, y'all are insane.
I understand doubting the white but seeing black in that gold was what I could never buy. To me it seemed like light blue-grey with matte gold.
I'm the opposite, the OG photo reads white and gold no matter what edits I see. Even after seeing the dress in proper light the OG is still white and gold.
I’m with you. This viral moment never made sense to me cuz I can never see anything else even with my wildest imagination.
That's...why it went viral. So many people couldn't see it the other way, and both sides found it hard to believe that the other side was actually being sincere.
Let's do this again!
Seriously WTF??? It's freakin white.and.gold.
It's almost like color is arbitrary and dependent on the environment. I know it's such a complex concept for millions of adults./s
When i first opened the image, it was undeniably white/gold to me, and I could not trick myself into seeing black/blue. After looking at the HQ image above, now I can not see white/gold anymore.
Edit: After writing this comment, it is back to white/gold.
Had the same happen to me
What on earth are you talking about.
Only the 'darker' picture looks remotely blue and black
Just curious. If you look at the dress at the bottom, and let your peripherals see the dresses up top slowly, then look up to the dresses on top, do you see them in blue/black then? Happened for me, then even when I scrolled up to the other pictures they stayed blue/black for a while.
Does not help me to see it the other way.
Thanks for confirming. My eyes adjusted when I did so and then as I scrolled back up even the on where they used the color pallet had changed to my vision. Next day saw it as white, and did the same thing again. The brain is weird.
Same, I see light blue and still black
Right? To be white and gold the dress would need to be in shadow, but it's clearly in light.
Zoom in or sample the colours. They’re not blue and black.
