I'm still convinced this is the biggest troll. It's clearly white and gold
You can literally sample the rgb values and see it's blue and black
Edit: am I part of the joke here??? It's clearly blue and black...

The objective fact is…it is a blue and black dress. Other photos of the same dress show that.
But I cannot, for the life of me, see how anyone can possibly get that from this photo. Sample the RGB values all you want and it clearly is not black in this photo. The exposure and white balance have messed around with it so much it is incomprehensible to me how anyone can see it as blue and black.
"The phenomenon revealed difference in human color perception..."
Yes, you're becoming a part of the joke. People LITERALLY see the dress differently. It doesn't matter what the objective facts are. TBH, it says a lot about humanity. Even when we have evidence that subjective experiences can vary, and even contradict each other, we still end up arguing over whose viewpoint is "correct".
You’re good. It’s black and blue. At a pinch, maybe blue and black.
What is global illumination from sky lighting again ??
Where the hell is the black supposed to be? Nothing is that dark here. I can easily accept blue, white, or gold, but there's clearly no black.
It's very clearly white and gold.
I still don’t see either. It looks blue and gold to me
Me too!
the first time ever I see this image, years ago, I could see both white-gold and black-blue. I don't know why I can only see white-gold now.
but assuming the bright light in the back is warm sun light, I think this is why my brain is more accepting that the blue tint is more of a shaded area from the sun, while the base color is white. the yellow-blue contrast
When this first made the rounds I managed to see the gold-white a few times, but it's almost always blue-black for me.
Same
C'mon, it is clearly blue and black 😁
Yes. The people who see white and gold must not register the yellow indoor light of the picture and are probably very outdoorsy people.
Brother I'm more vampire than man and I can only see white and gold. I have no idea how to use it as black and blue
I've actually experienced the perceptual shift from blue and black to white and gold. The moment was fleeting, but definitely registered white and gold. And then back to blue and black, and I've never been able to replicate the shift.
Literally the entire planet remembers this. Even people who were not born yet.
ffs now it looks blue and gold. am i dying?
it has always looked light blue-ish, like a periwinkle, and gold to me, as well
I only see white gold
I swear it was blue and black this morning, but now it's white and gold!
Opposite happened to me, white and gold this morning but black and blue now 🤯
I can never see black and blue. I assume all those who claim to see black and blue are bots. fite me
it was obviously blue and yellow.
Yeah, it's like blue and an ugly desaturated goldenrod. Because it's sort of yellowish instead of black I think that's why it tricks people's brains.
10 YEARS AGO?!
When that was going around I saw it as black and blue, and my partner at the time saw it as white and gold. When it was revealed that it was actually the former, I made a comment something like "I guess the difference is I see things as they actually are", which got me a sharp look. :)
Here's a pretty good Slate article on this dress, and how important this image became:

When I look at the image attached to this post, I can't see anything but white and gold, as I always have. This, in spite of now knowing it's black and blue.
It's pale blue and gold, right?
I see blue and gold too, but you're the first other person I've met who does
Rise up my brother!
it’s clearly blue and black. and i will force-feed anyone who thinks otherwise seventeen of those turkey legs that your aunt would always make for the thanksgiving family potluck when you were a kid and they were always dry as a desert but you never had the heart to tell her that her beloved turkey legs are borderline inedible and are honestly a disgrace to not only the art of cooking but to humanity as a whole.
Because no one has posted the other photos:
And this is a photo of the same dress taken under proper lighting:
Not even the brighter version looks white and gold to me. It's so obviously blue and black, y'all are insane.
The blue of the dress is pretty obvious, the black details are a different, golden hue due to ambient light. I "know" it's black, but it looks dark gold
I found this image to be a really good way to distill the issue down into the two different modes or perception:

Its so funny that this meme has sparked the exact debate all over again.
Yes, I do remember ten years ago.
This concludes your long term memory exam. Please see the lady at the front desk to schedule your short term exam.
I've only ever seen it as blue and black. I can't force it the other way like I could with Laurel and Yani. Y'all seeing white and gold astound me.
I still see both colors alternatingly.
whats next? are you gonna post who remembers yanny/laurel? bitch be fr
Blue and gold to me
