Is this dress white/gold or black/blue

[Ah Pook]

My husband asked me two weigh in on this. Color wise I see a whitish dress with nasty goldish stripes. My initial reaction was: I see a badly exposed picture that hurts the eyes of a FUGLY dress.

Maybe if the photographer had a better camera, wasn't taking the picture through glass and didn't have a horrible back glare the colors would be clear. However it still doesn't change the fact that the dress is bloody ugly.

But do you like the bolero jacket?

Yes deer.

It didn't even register that there was a bolero jacket until I was reading The Grey's post. <shrugs> I'm not very fashionable.

When I view this on my Macbook Pro with Retina display (IPS), I see white and gold no matter the angle of the laptop display. The wife noticed that if she changes the angle on her laptop display (TFT), the color does indeed range from white and gold to blue and black.

So, depending on your viewing angle and the technology used in your display, it could be either and a few in-between.

I see white/gold. It looks like the lighting is from the opposite side of it (it looks sort of like an outfit in a store window), and we're seeing it shaded, but definitely white/gold to me.

As a curious note, I took the image and copied into Paint. I did an eyedropper on one of the parts of the dress (what I see as white, I guess others see blue). Now, it is *slightly* more blue than others, but it's still veering towards the white spectrum (red 134, green 147, blue 189). The white/black/gray colors would be equal (for instance, white is 255-255-255).

As for the gold/black, still seeing a brown/gold (rgb 120-105-62).

It's definitely white and gold when I look directly at it...but when I look at the black fabric in the bottom left-hand corner the white immediately turns blue. I can then look back at the dress and it slowly fades from blue back to white.

It's far too late to be doing things like this to people, Brian...

Goddamnit...now I found this image and I can no longer see the white...what in the actual fuck...

I saw white and gold and immediately thought 'wow, why would somebody back light this and not reset the midtones'. Feels like bad photoshop choices to me. Took me a while to see it as black and blue. I had to stare at the cow for a minute and then immediately shift to the dress.

Looks blue and OD to me but I'am in my phone.
