Because no one has posted the other photos:
And this is a photo of the same dress taken under proper lighting:
Not even the brighter version looks white and gold to me. It's so obviously blue and black, y'all are insane.
I understand doubting the white but seeing black in that gold was what I could never buy. To me it seemed like light blue-grey with matte gold.
I’m with you. This viral moment never made sense to me cuz I can never see anything else even with my wildest imagination.
That's...why it went viral. So many people couldn't see it the other way, and both sides found it hard to believe that the other side was actually being sincere.
I'm the opposite, the OG photo reads white and gold no matter what edits I see. Even after seeing the dress in proper light the OG is still white and gold.
Let's do this again!
Seriously WTF??? It's freakin white.and.gold.
What on earth are you talking about.
Only the 'darker' picture looks remotely blue and black
Just curious. If you look at the dress at the bottom, and let your peripherals see the dresses up top slowly, then look up to the dresses on top, do you see them in blue/black then? Happened for me, then even when I scrolled up to the other pictures they stayed blue/black for a while.
Does not help me to see it the other way.
Thanks for confirming. My eyes adjusted when I did so and then as I scrolled back up even the on where they used the color pallet had changed to my vision. Next day saw it as white, and did the same thing again. The brain is weird.
When i first opened the image, it was undeniably white/gold to me, and I could not trick myself into seeing black/blue. After looking at the HQ image above, now I can not see white/gold anymore.
Edit: After writing this comment, it is back to white/gold.
Had the same happen to me
Right? To be white and gold the dress would need to be in shadow, but it's clearly in light.
Same, I see light blue and still black
Zoom in or sample the colours. They’re not blue and black.
No way, really ? I really thought it was always white and gold. This cannot be the same dress, I do not trust my eyes anymore
All three of these look blue and black just with different levels of saturation?? I can understand how people can maybe see the gold, but interpreting the blue as white is baffling to me. Bluer than the day sky.
Left: blue and black.
Middle: light blue and black.
Right: dark blue and black.
The dress is blue and black. It will never be white or gold. The lighting or saturation doesn't matter.
Well the pixels themselves are white and gold so…
Even with my phone cranked all the way up it still looks blue to me. I've never been able to see the white and gold version people claim exists.
Maybe my comment can help

I have always only seen black and blue, even in the light version my brain doesn't make it gold and white. It's strange to me why people perceive this as gold.
Edit this video was the only one to make me see it https://youtu.be/YB36n00NHBw
We'll I watched the other video and I finally saw the blue and black. I've always seen white gold but now I don't. Fucking trippy.
