So about an hour ago I was showing this to my wife, we both saw white and gold and thought this is silly. But now somehow I am seeing blue and black and she is still seeing white and gold. Fuck me.

Somehow this feels older than rage comics.

No. Blue and Gold.

I see the defendant guilty of attempted murder and considering the severity of the crime I hereby sentence the defendant to 15 years in prison.

For half a second when I was scrolling I saw white and gold, but now it's blue and black. I can't flip it again.

Same here. White and gold for a moment, then blue and black.

It's a black and blue dress that looks white and gold in washed out sunlight.

It turns out that some materials play with light in ways that seem unexpected, and our rigid definitions of color don't always fit well around them.

I’ve seen this both ways in the past but something cool is happening right now.

First I saw white and gold when this scrolled up into my feed.

Now that I’m in the thread (in a client that has Dark Mode), if I spend a few seconds reading comments and then scroll UP to the picture, it looks blue & black for a second and then that FADES into white and gold.

How blue and black can fade into white and gold I can’t explain but it’s happening right in front of my eyes.

Just depends on what lighting your brain perceives it. I see it as black and blue so clearly in the thumbnail.

When opening up the full image, it's white-and-gole. Light properties and additive/subtractive colors be wilding.

Still white and gold even after all these years, though I did see blue and black once, but that was with the corner of my eye then.

I've never seen black, only gold and white or gold and blue

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It always depends on the saturation of the image. When it's fucked up and darkened, it appears blue and black. When lightened, it shows the true white and gold.

Oh, not again...

I see brownish gold and bluish white. I can never make the gold entirely black nor the white entirely blue.

[-] GenBlob@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

It's black and blue.

[-] phi1997@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

You know what? Blue and gold.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Not again. This dress messed up my whole world view.
