what colour is this dress?

[Mioki]

With my glasses on it is black and blue.
With my glasses off, it is white and gold.

#wut

Tempted to take my contacts off and look but it's not worth it lol

No matter how many different times I saw this image today, it was always gold and white for me

It's white and gold for me.
Except with the photoshopped picture that clearly made it blue and black.
I asked my boyfriend the color before telling him. He said blue and black. I even showed him the three photos, two photoshopped and one original. He said they were all blue and black, but each photo was a different shade of blue and black. (Because they were photoshopped into different brightnesses and colors.)

I saw white and gold at first, but then I looked at another image and it was like a royal blue and black, now I cant unsee it I cant see the white and gold anymore =/

Same here! At first I was adamant that it was white but now all I can see is deep purple and black.

This did remind me of the spinning dancer optical illusion.

 

[Dulcettie]

I've seen it as both blue and black and white and gold :/

 

[Arabelle]

I saw light blue and gold.... So I picked blue & gold xD;

Interesting o_o;;

I see it as white and gold. But here is something interesting.

In the color spectrum white and black are opposites of each other. And orange and blue are also opposites. So if I were to take a white image and invert it it would turn black, and if I were to take an orange image and invert it it would turn blue.

Keeping this in mind I made the following gold and white image:


and then I inverted it. which, as expected, made it turn blue and black:


What this means is that....
IF the dress is gold and white then it should turn blue and black when inverted
but if it is blue and black then it should turn gold and white when inverted

so let's look at the picture of the dress again...


Now lets see what happens if when I invert it...


It turned white and gold! But the thing is that if the dress had been white and gold to begin with then it would make no sense for it to turn this color... which means that the people claiming that it is blue and black are the ones that are correct. I still see it as white/gold though T__T

I see both of those photos you posted as white and gold. Inverted and not.
My boyfriend also sees it as blue and black no matter what.

Also, the guy who made the dress or whatever said it's white and gold.

I saw the normal picture as blue and black and the bottom picture and white and gold. I left for a minute and when I came back I saw both as white and gold. o.o
