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

all you did was invert the background, and not the dress itself. both pics are still white/gold.

No. I inverted the entire picture. Open it up on Photoshop or some other editing software and try it yourself if you don't believe me.

Blue and black for me!

I see white and gold, and then tipping my screen really far back give blue and black. Apparently the actual dress is black and blue (or white and black, gold's not even an option!)

I was hoping when I woke up I'd be able to see it as white and gold because I haven't been able to picture it that way, but alas, I still see blue and black.

 

[Fairytale]

The first time I saw it blue and black, this morning I saw it in white and gold and now I am seeing it in black and blue again. -.-

 

[Murray]

before I was seeing black and blue, and I couldn't even believe that I saw it white and gold/how I saw it white and gold before... but now it's white and gold! Maybe it does have something to do with mood?

Under negative light, it is gold and white. Gold is he opposite of blue and white is the opposite of black.

Either way the dress is ugly as sin

 

[Reindeer]

I see it as both. I've seen the image a few times before and every time I look at it, it keeps shifting.


The real color is blue and black, but I do see it as white and gold sometimes.

well

also from the original poster of the dress:

Under negative light, it is gold and white. Gold is he opposite of blue and white is the opposite of black.

opposite of blue is actually orange, but opposite of this particular shade is gold

Either way the dress is ugly as sin

tru

That brad guy is a liar. I doubt it's because of mood.

well

About that picture...

"You will be surprised to know that the dress is actually white and gold ..."

This statement is based on opinion. The person likely sees it as white and gold, therefore draws the conclusion it has to be those colors (because lol stubborn).

Here's what I base my previous statement of the dress actually being blue and black on: an actual image from the wedding that the dress was ultimately bought for.

Spoiler

When you see it as white and gold it just means the light is screwing with your color perception. BradTheLadLong should be careful when stating things as facts, and I wouldn't be surprised if the rest was pulled out of his ass as well.

YEAH DOWN WITH BRAD

[Cam1]

[Twilight Sparkle]

do you know how many times people have said that and science was wrong

 

[Elephantmarshmallow]

<(>~<)> just stop already!

 

[Cam1]

Using the color wheel and photoshop to take the picture and get the RBG amounts. Those prove that the dress is either blue and orange/gold or blue and black

I know. But I personally believe the color wheel was correct.
