What color is this dress? - Page 2

lumberjim · 02-27-2015, 03:47 PM

those that can see the blue/black..... which colors are switching... is the hem (the bottom) blue or black?

i can't even get near seeing black anywhere.

The hem at the bottom is blue.

lumberjim · 02-27-2015, 05:20 PM

Light blue. very light. I've seen pictures of the same style dress in royal and black... but it's not the same photo.

Is this just a big troll?

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.

Yeah, that bothered me too. But then I saw anther article on it and it was back to white and (antique) gold.

See xkcd for how the colors pair. Black becomes gold, and blue becomes white.

I think a big part of the black is being seen as gold because it has a sheen to it and is reflecting yellow light. Blue becoming white might be in response to the interpretation of black as gold.

I originally saw it at home as blue/black, then when I saw it on my work monitor it was initially white/gold. Now, even on my work monitor, it is solidly blue/black.

On ABC news tonight the went to see the dress, it's definitely blue and black.

Schroedinger's dress?

lumberjim · 02-28-2015, 01:29 PM

do the pics in the first post and the one bruce posted there look the same to anyone?

mine is clearly gold... bruce's clearly blue. right?

sexobon · 02-28-2015, 04:59 PM

Gold is the new black.

infinite monkey · 02-28-2015, 06:17 PM

Ugh. The color of the dress is 'ugly.' Either black and blue or white and gold. However, if you're like me and you went to the Roman Originals website to see the dress, you would see there are four color choices, all with the black lace trim. Blue, Red, Pink, and Ivory. I think the Ivory one is gorgeous, sans the boring Bolero jacket. I hate the colors of the others. Too loud in red and blue, and too silly in pink (that should be a movie name) and I like pink if used well, which means not as formal attire.

Blue/black not pictured here.

So there...

infinite monkey · 02-28-2015, 06:20 PM

I know what you're thinking: those aren't red and ivory and rose pink! Those are purple and crimson and chartreuse! But those are not those colors.

monster · 02-28-2015, 07:48 PM

I'm wondering how many long-eyelashed-spiders died to make those dresses...

But where did the picture you posted come from? If not from the source (Roman) if could have been manipulated along the way. So the question should be what is the color of the picture of the dress?
