100% Black and blue. everyone that says otherwise is colorblind. If you don't agree, throw this in a program with a color matching tool

I've passed the fact that people see it differently. Now, I'm curious why. Are there two ways that the cones and rods affect peoples eyes?

Researched this shit and used my medical school knowledge:

Black and Blue- retina's cones are more high functioning; this results in subtractive mixing by the eye

White and Gold- if you see it this way your eyes don't work well in dim light; so retinas and rods see white. This makes them less light sensitive, causing additive mixing to make the goldish color

So... Since I see blue and gold I'm somewhere in the middle of awesome and shity at the same time?

fuck this shit

it is white and gold

there is a screenshot of me using the colour picker on photoshop, here is the hex code for the colour: 5d4e2d

literally paste that into google and look at the colour that comes up, it's gold as fuck


one time when I glanced at it quickly I did see black and blue though. black and blue are the complimentary colours to these particular shades of white and gold, obviously

for the sake of everyone's sanity, THE ORIGINAL PICTURE IS IN FACT WHITE AND GOLD

The white part is supposed to be blue, the gold is black. If I look at it straight on I see white and gold, and if I look at super tiny versions of it or from an angle I can see black and blue.

If you color pick that top part it's gonna come up gold or brown. It looks like mixed light sources with bad white balance so the shadows picked up a lot of orange and yellow. I don't see how it's white. It's blue and black, just with terrible colors so the black looks funny.

"Your eyes have retinas, the things that let you interpret color. There's rods, round things, and cones that stick out, which is what gives your eye a textured appearance in the colored part. The "cones" see color. The "rods" see shade, like black, white and grey. Cones only work when enough light passes through. So while I see the fabric as white, someone else may see it as blue because my cones aren't responding to the dim lighting. My rods see it as a shade (white).

There's three cones: small, medium and large. They are blue sensitive, green sensitive, and red sensitive.
As for the black bit (which I see as gold), it's called additive mixing. Blue, green and red are the main colors for additive mixing. This is where it gets really tricky. Subtractive mixing, such as with paint, means the more colors you add the murkier it gets until its black. ADDITIVE mixing, when you add the three colors the eyes see best, red, green and blue, (not to be confused with primary colors red, blue and yellow) it makes pure white.

—Blue and Black: In conclusion, your retina's cones are more high functioning, and this results in your eyes doing subtractive mixing.

—White and Gold: our eyes don't work well in dim light so our retinas rods see white, and this makes them less light sensitive, causing additive mixing, (that of green and red), to make gold."

When I first opened the thread I saw white and gold, I read through some of the posts and now the dress is blue and black/gold, I don't know what the fuck is going on to cause a color change that significant.

so people were talking about it being because of cones and rods, but that wouldn't account for such a drastic change. So I saw people trying to color match it to see what the actual colors were. So i decided to try it. The top of the dress is gold and grey, the bottom is brownish/black and light blue. So if you look at the bottom of the dress, your brain will fill in the rest as such, and opposite for gold and white. And that also accounts for why some people see one colorway and then their brain switches to the other

I don't get it. The first time I saw it, it was white and gold. Then I came in here and it was blue and black. Then I went and did some other stuff and just came back and it's white and gold again...
