It's a black and blue dress that looks white and gold in washed out sunlight.
It turns out that some materials play with light in ways that seem unexpected, and our rigid definitions of color don't always fit well around them.
Still white and gold even after all these years, though I did see blue and black once, but that was with the corner of my eye then.
For half a second when I was scrolling I saw white and gold, but now it's blue and black. I can't flip it again.
Same here. White and gold for a moment, then blue and black.
Just depends on what lighting your brain perceives it. I see it as black and blue so clearly in the thumbnail.
When opening up the full image, it's white-and-gole. Light properties and additive/subtractive colors be wilding.
I'm looking at the image on a very high quality OLED screen. On an OLED, it's very obviously NOT black. You can see the top of the dress in the light and it's not at all black. The black on my screen makes that incredibly obvious. Who cares what it is in real life, I'm not judging that, I'm judging the image and black is not a part of the dress, in this image.
The Guardian's image is black and blue. The image in this thread IS NOT. My eyes may look red in a photo, that doesn't mean they're really red. An image is not a perfect reflection of reality.
White and gold obviously.
Scrolls down....reads some comments....scroll back up.
WTF, how did that happen. Now it's black and blue.
Blue and gold.

It always depends on the saturation of the image. When it's fucked up and darkened, it appears blue and black. When lightened, it shows the true white and gold.
It's still amazing to me how much this screws with people. That not everyone experiences things the same way shouldn't be a hard concept.
You know what? Blue and gold.
It's black and blue.
Oh, not again...
I see brownish gold and bluish white. I can never make the gold entirely black nor the white entirely blue.
I've never seen black, only gold and white or gold and blue
