This dress is black and white tho???

Couldn't get the link to include the color choice. There's four options in the corner. Choose the blue/black option and it will match perfectly.

Not going to read the whole thread, but its white and gold. Once youve seen the blue and black fake your eyes adjust to it and thats what you see from then on. I only saw white and gold at first for like every post on fb, then once i saw the other they all changed, even the status's that i commented on saying white and gold because thats what i saw.
This was prob mentioned but oh well. It might "look" blue and black, but its not.

Actually there was a facebook post by the person who took the picture, he can confirm that the dress is in-fact, blue & black.

here's your proof:

I'll be honest I believed it to be white & gold in any way that you see it and wasn't going to have any other way about it myself. Was quite shocked to find it an optical illusion based on contrast & lighting.

What a shitty camera that took this.

Someday in a world without incandescent bulbs this will no longer be a problem.

I was in the same boat as Psychoangel. The first time I saw it it was white and gold, I posted it to Facebook to ask family what they saw, thinking it was just some kind of big internet prank and people were pretending it was black and blue.

I looked again 20 minutes after and it was black and blue and it kept switching between the colors that I was able to see for about an hour. Now I see nothing but black and blue.

Everyone else in my family sees gold and white.

Re: What Color is this Dress omg wow

a good way to illustrate the effect of additive and subtractive mixing of colours in photoshop is to simply create a new layer on top of the image, fill it in with a 50% grey, and then changing the blending mode of that new layer to subtract or divide. because grey is the most neutral of all "colours" (well technically it's not a "colour" but a tone), it works exceptionally well when trying to light balance and colour correct any photo.

as shown below, you'll get a good perspective of what both sides see but to more of an extreme when additive/subtractive mixing is at the highest point.





with all honesty though, the original photo is just god awful so there's not really enough information to process colour.
