Where are you guys getting black? I can see how the white part looks like a light blue because of the lighting but the other part is some sort of gold or tan color. There is no black on that dress.
 
Light blue/darkish muddled grey(just made that up). Coming soon to a Crayola box near you!!

I see no white, gold, or black.
Wait a second! Gold...on the ceiling...:D
 
Either a few of you are playing games, color blind, or that picture looks different colors depending on monitor, browser, or whatever.

I see bluish and blackish.
 
This is weird. The first time I saw it it was white/gold. Someone had posted the same thing on FB so I clicked the link and the first one I saw was washed out from the flash. Someone lowered the saturation on the same image and the white turned blue and the gold is black. Now I'm seeing blue/black on the first pics I saw that used to be white/gold, including the one in this thread.
 
The colors in the fabric are almost certainly white and gold. The colors in the image are actually different due to the lighting. The more closed your pupils are, the more black and blue it will appear. If you see black and blue, you should take up painting or color drawing.
 
Someone found the dress company online and apparently they make no versions of that dress with gold on it, they only have white, blue, and pink with black lace. Glad I brought some more chaos to the snark thread.

I'd be interested to find out if it's anything due to age, maybe something like most people under 18 see black and blue when most people over 18 see white and gold.

I'm gonna go with gold and blueish-gray, but in all honesty it looks kinda dingy bronze and dirty gray, to me. :D

They had this on the news this evening. Apparently the colors look different to different people, even when they are looking at the same picture at the same time.

Black and blue.
I can understand gold, but have no idea how anybody is getting white.

The color of the pixels is not white, but white surfaces in shadow in the foreground of a backlit object will have a blueish hue. Your brain may interpret only the color of the pixels or it may infer the original color of the fabric based on understanding how colors show up in various lighting conditions. It MAY BE that the fabric is not actually white, but it sure appears how white fabric would appear in those lighting conditions, as reproduced by a camera that was trying to balance the exposure from the sun backlighting.

What I find most fascinating is whether people report the colors of the image or the inferred colors of the fabric, and how that might reveal how they interpret other things that they perceive in the world.

What I also find fascinating is that there are people who have not observed the mistranslation of color in photographs due to crappy lighting. On the other hand, we see enough badly lit photos around here that it shouldn't surprise me a bit.

"The camera doesn't lie" is partly a lie.
 
Personally, I just think the dress is ugly.......................no matter the color. I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing.

Quote from article i linked above...

"At least we can all agree on one thing: The people who see the dress as white are utterly, completely wrong."

HAHAHA Sorry Daizee :D
