Because no one has posted the other photos:

And this is a photo of the same dress taken under proper lighting:

[-] Hubi@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

Not even the brighter version looks white and gold to me. It's so obviously blue and black, y'all are insane.

I’m with you. This viral moment never made sense to me cuz I can never see anything else even with my wildest imagination.

[-] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

That's...why it went viral. So many people couldn't see it the other way, and both sides found it hard to believe that the other side was actually being sincere.

When i first opened the image, it was undeniably white/gold to me, and I could not trick myself into seeing black/blue. After looking at the HQ image above, now I can not see white/gold anymore.

Edit: After writing this comment, it is back to white/gold.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Right? To be white and gold the dress would need to be in shadow, but it's clearly in light.

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

What on earth are you talking about.

Only the 'darker' picture looks remotely blue and black

[-] mr_satan@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago

I'm the opposite, the OG photo reads white and gold no matter what edits I see. Even after seeing the dress in proper light the OG is still white and gold.

[-] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago

Let's do this again!

Seriously WTF??? It's freakin white.and.gold.

[-] al_Kaholic@lemmynsfw.com -1 points 1 week ago

It's almost like color is arbitrary and dependent on the environment. I know it's such a complex concept for millions of adults./s

[-] Brosplosion@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

All three of these look blue and black just with different levels of saturation?? I can understand how people can maybe see the gold, but interpreting the blue as white is baffling to me. Bluer than the day sky.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Left: blue and black.
Middle: light blue and black.
Right: dark blue and black.

The dress is blue and black. It will never be white or gold. The lighting or saturation doesn't matter.

[-] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 week ago

Well the pixels themselves are white and gold so…

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 0 points 1 week ago

Even with my phone cranked all the way up it still looks blue to me. I've never been able to see the white and gold version people claim exists.

[-] camelbeard@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I have always only seen black and blue, even in the light version my brain doesn't make it gold and white. It's strange to me why people perceive this as gold.

Edit this video was the only one to make me see it https://youtu.be/YB36n00NHBw

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

We'll I watched the other video and I finally saw the blue and black. I've always seen white gold but now I don't. Fucking trippy.
