What color is this dress?

scroll down the image very, very slowly and the dress looks white and gold, until you get close to the bottom. Then it looks black and blue.

If you scroll upwards very slowly, it starts off looking black and blue, until you've revealed most of the dress. I think it's that big blob of white space on the right that throws off your eyes, making it seem white and gold (at least to a lot of people).

Nope. Still white/gold for me.

And I ONLY can see it as white/gold. I keep trying to see it blue/black -- used sunglasses, scrolled up from bottom, tried to convince myself. nope. White/gold. So strange that people see it so differently!

No, to quote yourself, you idiot. I am the PP that responded I looked at one picture, looked at another, came back to original picture and saw a different color than I saw before.

I've looked at this dress a million times and it always the same - WHITE and GOLD.

I think it looks light blue and gold, which I guess is not an option . So white and gold (the gold lace is the part that is clear to me).

I looked at the photo a bunch of times last night and just now and I only see the dress as blue and black. I even switched rooms with different lighting and still the same result.

It is just a matter of whether your brain processes the light on the dress as being natural (then you see blue and black) or being in serious shadow (then you see white and gold). I saw white and gold, figured out the right answer was blue and black, and then saw blue and black quite clearly when I wasn't looking at it as an object in shade.

Yes. That's what I see exactly.

For those who don't see it, here is a photoshopped version to show what different people are seeing. The dress in the middle is the original as posted on buzzfeed. The left is color balanced white and the right is color balanced black. There is a pseudo-scientific justification for the differences that people see in the article, but it still sounds like an educated guess.

You can get an idea of the differences in the color balancing by lookoing at the objects behind the dress.

See the pattern on the left side of the dress, looks like something hanging/draped behind it? THAT has black in it. How can you blue/black people see the dress as black, when there is clearly black pattern behind it?

The dress is white (or lightish blue) and a mustard color. There is no black, especially compared to the black pattern right behind the dress.

You blue/black people are insane.

You're saying the "black" you see in the dress, is the same as the black in the pattern *behind* the dress? Do you really not see the difference?

If people are really seeing the dress as the dark blue/black combo (and I'm not convinced they are not all punking the rest of us), the. I suggest getting to an eye doctor stat.

The black lace is a bit overexposed, yes. The body of the dress is blue. Blue. Blue.
