I see white and gold on every picture I've seen whether it's the original picture, the ones on Twitter, Facebook, or the ones here. Everyone else in my family except my sister sees blue and black
i only see blue and black on the ones the whale is messing with. i could see a tiny hint of blue all along, but it was so incredibly faint that i just went with white. but now they all look blue enough that i can't say it looks white anymore. so...
Waster, copy the original photo into photobucket, press edit on it, go into the splash item, go to color fix, and only go over the 'white' lines. You'll see I was not messing with those ones.
nah. not going to look behind the curtain. i'm enjoying the mystery. no need for me to know everything about everything.
Like I said, I have viewed this pic on the same device and seen different colors every time. Go have fun in rl, come back and it will change.
Not since Monica Lewinsky was a White House intern has one blue dress been the source of so much consternation. (And yes, it’s blue.) The fact that a single image could polarize the entire Internet into two aggressive camps is, let’s face it, just another Thursday. But for the past half-day, people across social media have been arguing about whether a picture depicts a perfectly nice bodycon dress as blue with black lace fringe or white with gold lace fringe. And neither side will budge. This fight is about more than just social media—it’s about primal biology and the way human eyes and brains have evolved to see color in a sunlit world. Light enters the eye through the lens—different wavelengths corresponding to different colors. The light hits the retina in the back of the eye where pigments fire up neural connections to the visual cortex, the part of the brain that processes those signals into an image. Critically, though, that first burst of light is made of whatever wavelengths are illuminating the world, reflecting off whatever you’re looking at. Without you having to worry about it, your brain figures out what color light is bouncing off the thing your eyes are looking at, and essentially subtracts that color from the “real” color of the object. “Our visual system is supposed to throw away information about the illuminant and extract information about the actual reflectance,” says Jay Neitz, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington. “But I’ve studied individual differences in color vision for 30 years, and this is one of the biggest individual differences I’ve ever seen.” (Neitz sees white-and-gold.) Usually that system works just fine. This image, though, hits some kind of perceptual boundary. That might be because of how people are wired. Human beings evolved to see in daylight, but daylight changes color. That chromatic axis varies from the pinkish red of dawn, up through the blue-white of noontime, and then back down to reddish twilight. “What’s happening here is your visual system is looking at this thing, and you’re trying to discount the chromatic bias of the daylight axis,” says Bevil Conway, a neuroscientist who studies color and vision at Wellesley College. “So people either discount the blue side, in which case they end up seeing white and gold, or discount the gold side, in which case they end up with blue and black.” (Conway sees blue and orange, somehow.)
I am thoroughly in the white gold camp. Down with the blueblacks! They are heathens only on this planet to subvert the eyes of the followers of the True Faith!
The actual color is Blue and Black. Professional photographers photoshopped it to find its hue and colors, and it showed ACTUAL TRACES OF BLUE FIBERS woven into the thread of the dress. There are many theories on how the change is made possible. 1) It depends on mood. A traumatic experiance may arise deep down in your thoughts, causing you too see more the more depressing side of things (such as black and blue). White and gold is seen by those who are actually happy. 2) Ligting. People say the lighting in the picture is causing it look like it'd white and gold because people's eyes can react differently when shown vivid colors. Therefore, showing people two different colors. 3) Distance. Alot of people are saying if you look close and deep, it'll change. I tried, it didn't work for me personally. Others though, it does change. If there's any aspects I didn't, sorry. But the true colors are BLACK AND BLUE. I've seen both colors. But it's scientifically proven to be black and blue. Good luck.
