OMG I was going to put this down to internet trolling, but then I scrolled back up to glance at it again AND THE SECOND TIME I SAW THE BLUE AND BLACK.
I mean yes, it's more of a "my brain is compensating for bad lighting on what I 'know' is a blue and black dress" (because if you scroll down, they show another picture with proper lighting and it is, in fact, a blue and black dress.) But still. That's fucked up. |

I voted Blue and Black. But after google searching I found this site. http://www.fox.com.au/scoopla/style/...ress-revealed/ with a blow up of the dress, and it shows the dress to be Gold, and Black, and White.

Thank you lumberjim! I heard about this on NPR this morning, and was pissed at the fucking morons who decided that the radio was a good place to propogate this meme.
But I wanted to see the dress for myself. On my monitor, it's a very light purple and gold. |

Looking at it again, Imma say it's black and blue.
The background is way overexposed. As is the dress. If you put it in photoshop or something and adjust the exposure, making it darker so the background isn't overexposed, the dress becomes clearly black and blue. And then when you look at the original picture again, you see the black and blue. Edit: I can't even see the gold any more. It's blue and black. Last edited by glatt; 02-27-2015 at 08:30 AM. |

Maybe I'm taking this too far, but here's the dress with the exposure levels fixed a bit. I didn't touch the color settings.

Josef Albers did ground breaking work on color and perception. One of the hardest things to teach photo students is the concept of a light meter. They have a hard time understanding that their experience of a scene's illumination is subjective but the meter is objective, ie, it doesn't know if something is black or white, it just knows how much light is being reflected. Now add colored ligth to the equation and the surface's color and you get a big old mess. For instance, if you look at a burgundy colored shirt under typical fluorescent lighting it will look brown because the light hitting the shirt if high in green light and deficient in magenta. Without magenta light hitting the objecgt it can't reflect magenta light and so looks brown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Albers very interesting page on color theory http://www.jaimetreadwell.com/Color-...ge-lecture.htm

I voted blue and black at home. If I'd seen it first on my work monitor, I would have voted white and gold.
