? white and gold

It's so weird -- DD showed it to us earlier. She and I both saw blue and black. DH saw blue and green (huh?).

Taylor Swift and Mindy Kaling are ADAMANT it's blue and black. I think anyone who doesn't see white and gold is living in a dream world!

Hey, if i scroll down , to where i only see the bottom of the dress, i can see it as blue and black

scroll down till you only see the bottom half of the dress

It's blue and the black appears greenish, goldish black that looks to be from the lighting. I'm trying to figure out how people are seeing white.

I see white and gold. How weird!

I saw white and gold -- then went to a link with an article talking about it, As I scrolled down, I saw the pictures changing colors. When only half of hte dress was at the top of the screen, I definitely saw black and blue. Snice then, I have scrolled up and down and seen that photo on several sites -- I'm seeing it both ways. All I know is I am not buying that dress. Deciding which shoes to wear would be such a headache!

Last night prior to turning off the lights and going to bed, I saw this dress in an article on Gizmodo and it was definitely blue with slightly over exposed black. After being in a dark room for a few minutes I turned on my iPad to read and saw a followup dress article. That time it was definitely quite white (no blue!) and gold. The color differences has to do with the rods and cones in your eyes and the way your eyes adjust to lighting conditions and perceive color. It's actually pretty cool. dress color explanation on Gizmodo

Looks periwinkle and brown to me. Lol@ B.J. Novak's "traditional black and blue" Pontificate ensemble.

Last night, it was CLEARLY blue and black. This morning, no doubt in my mind, it is white and gold. And I'm looking at the same site on my same iPhone again. SO WEIRD. My DD is still seeing blue and black this morning.

daki/sueb, I had the same experience. My DD showed me the pic last night and I saw white and gold and this morning when I opened this thread, it was blue and black. Same monitor.

Another couple of cute pictures:

Interesting science.

The science of why people see the dress differently.

Both taken off the internet..

Do you see different colors ?

Top one is blue and dark brown, the bottom one is light blue and tan. But I've also seen it as white and gold! And I can't willingly switch what I see.

On an iPad, the color changes as I tilt the screen.

Ok, someone is messing with us to see how much buzz they can get. I went to the buzzfeed earlier and it was CLEARLY white and gold. Now it is totally blue and black. Robo, my Havanese is white and golden caramel, at least he was when I saw him last. Does that mean he may really be black and blue?

I have seen the picture on different computers. On the one I'm responding to now it looks blue and black. On my ipad it looked white and gold. Weird. I watched the Today show and everyone was getting different impressions too. The real dress is a smoky blue and black (and sold out) but the original mfg said he may re-issue it in white and gold.

For me on like four different screens and adjusting screen brightness it looks white and gold 100% of the time (of course with a bluish shadow on it). And my mind COMPLETELY refuses to believe it could be blue and black. I find the whole thing very interesting!

I think the best and most useful observation about this whole thing is that it demonstrates why color advise or picking colors over the internet is a dangerous thing.

saw this on the news this morning.....white and gold. Just opened up Mtnrdredux's link....still white and gold.

Yes, that is what I find interesting. Lighting in a room definitely affects color, but the tiredness of the eyes or changes in lighting intensity could possibly also affect iit (not just photos online).

I looked at the original post this morning and it was white and gold. I didn't get a chance to reply until this afternoon, and now the image in the OP is blue and black. I'm using the same device. This is interesting! I can't wait to ask my kids what color they see (ages 5 and 7). I hope they see the same color or an argument may occur! ;)

It seems to me the hot topic at work today. My eyes switch to white dress after my status meetings then back to blue after I spend time on my pc

so strange. It always looks gray and periwinkle to me. I never see white and gold at all.

White and gold to me, blue and black to DH. The cat won't tell.

This dress is white and gold. It was last night and it still is this morning. It's white and gold at the top and at the bottom. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Still looks the same to me. It's an 80s blue if I'm going to be specific.

Read the amazon dress reviews and have a good laugh. And check out snopes for the backstory.

Edit, this comment no longer made sense!

Wow, I don't see how anyone could see blue and black! It's white and gold clearly to me, all the pics. all the links. 4boys' dual pics look like one is in the shadows, one in the sun, but both white and gold. Fascinating!

Okay, checking back 4 hours later, now ALL the images of the dress look blue/violet and brown. I saw a picture of the real dress someplace else and it was clearly blue and black. I think someone is messing with us! All of us!

but . . . the Snopes story doesn't actually say what color the real dress is, wahhh!

thanks, crappy photographer, for breaking the internet

There is also a thread on the decorating side titled "This is why you don't pick paint colors off the internet." Just in case anyone is interested in reading more...

OMG. I am so sick of this damn dress.

I saw it yesterday, last night, this morning and this afternoon....the color hasn't changed (for me). It's always been baby blue and gold/brown.

Rich, me too.i still haven,t seen white or blue or black.
