cont.What colors are this dress?
The colors of a dress have come under serious debate on social media with some seeing it as white and gold and others as black and blue.
But why the disparity?

Light blue and gold/tan.
Does it mean that I'm schizophrenic or not?

It looks white and gold to me too but when I scroll down and scroll back up it looks blue and brown.Originally Posted by donnay

Look at this and then look at it the OP again
When I did the dress went from white and gold to blue and black.
When you scrolled up in the article or on this thread?It looks white and gold to me too but when I scroll and scroll back up it looks blue and black.
Either way, it's ugly.
This thread, I didn't click on the article.
That woman looks hot for somebody with no arms.
Yeah it is ugly no matter what color it is.It looks white and gold to me too but when I scroll down and scroll back up it looks blue and brown.
Either way, it's ugly.
Let me finish my Tequila sunrise and look at it again.

After I clicked on the article, it's blue and black in some pics and gold/blue in the the other. I don't know what to make of it. But I agree that it's kind of a weird dress.

I looked at it a bunch, and it was white and gold. But once I read the article I went back to it and it had turn blue and black.
Yeah it is ugly no matter what color it is.

Definitely blue and black. Its as blue as the sky and the black is maybe a dark, dark grey or brown.

My daughter showed me this earlier and asked.
I don't get it at all. I guess I am officially old now.
Edit- I finally get it. Tilt your head up and down as you look at it and it appears to change color.

problem solved
I see blue and black.
New to liberty?

To me it is obviously blue and black. If I only focus on the very top part of the dress I can maybe see why some people might see gold. But how in the world can anyone see white? Where is there white? It is unmistakably blue and not even close to white.

When I looked at it I wondered how anybody could possibly see black!
It looked white and gold to me at first. Now I see it as blue and black.
For my wife it was the opposite.

I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
Your brain must be in backwards.
People are saying it has to do with what kind of screen you're viewing it on, but even a group of people all looking at the same screen from the same angle still disagree. I am sure this will be a fun topic at work tomorrow.

No matter how I try I cannot see any black in that dress - the blue tint to the white I can see, but black?
The middle photo (below) is what I see when I scroll up.It looks white and gold to me too but when I scroll down and scroll back up it looks blue and brown.

Here's the science behind that goddamn dress
http://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-t...-goddamn-dressIn case you missed it, this dress has been blowing up the Internet and tearing friendships apart since it was posted on Tumblr yesterday. Because even though the dress is so very clearly white and gold, some people out there are equally convinced it's blue and black.
But we're not going to get started on that debate. We're here to tell everyone to chill, because there's a scientific explanation behind this witchcraft. And, much to my horror, the dress is actually blue. Sorry guys.
So what's going on here? According to Adam Rogers over at Wired, your brain is actually trying to correct for sunlight, and in the process it's screwing everyone who sees white and gold over (myself included.)
In order to perceive colours, different wavelengths of light have to enter the lenses of our eyes and hit our retinas, and this triggers the nerves that connect to our brain's visual cortex, which results in us seeing a picture.
But importantly, the light your eye receives doesn't just contain the wavelengths of light reflecting off the object you're looking at, but also those wavelengths that are lighting up the world.
Your brain is really smart, and it knows this, so without you having to think about it, it just subtracts these other wavelengths from the 'real' colour of the object you're looking at. Which is where everything is going wrong with that goddamn dress - some of our brains are colour-correcting in different ways.
“Our visual system is supposed to throw away information about the illuminant and extract information about the actual reflectance,” Jay Neitz, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington, told Rogers for Wired. “But I’ve studied individual differences in colour vision for 30 years, and this is one of the biggest individual differences I’ve ever seen.”
Bevil Conway, a neuroscientist at Wellesley College, added: “So people either discount the blue side, in which case they end up seeing white and gold, or discount the gold side, in which case they end up with blue and black.”
Here is the original image in the middle, with the version on the left white-balanced as if the dress was white-gold, and the right version white-balanced as if it was blue-black.
So what colour is it really? The Wired design team did some Photoshopping and found that the dress is, in fact, blue. Apparently, when you print the image, cut it out and look at it on a neutral background, it looks blue. And, yep, even Google thinks the dress is blue.
But for now, I just have to trust the science, because to me it's still clearly #whiteandgold.
If your brain doesn't hurt enough after all this, enjoy some more optical illusions in the BrainCraft video below.
After finishing my drink, it's still ugly in any color.

Now I'm seeing it in green. Yep, still ugly.After finishing my drink, it's still ugly in any color.
I don't see how anyone can see it as white and gold.
What I see is blue and black. But the black is a sort of faded (lighter) black, so that part of it is almost like a dark metallic color.
