Is this dress white/gold or black/blue

[Brian]

This is seriously one of the more interesting things I've found on the internet in some time.

You are quite specific and articulate about that....I don't even know what a bolero jacket was.....

I think she wears dresses more often than you.

I see white/gold and the wife sees blue/gold??

Is this some sort of social experiment?

The item behind the dress (to the viewers left) is black & white - looks like it's in a milk cow pattern.

The black in the item behind the dress gives you a black baseline as the light brown wood trim to the right gives you a reference.

It appears to me to be a white dress/jacket with gold trim.

It's lit from behind, putting the front of the dress in shadow making the white of the dress appear darker.

I don't see anything black behind the dress- I see a light brown surface with a dappling of light and shadow.

This is very odd. My husband sees the black and blue hues as well.

My prom dress had a bolero jacket.

Blue/black, unless I tilt the monitor toward me about 45 degrees. Then it looks white/gold.

I think you are spot on!

Black and blue... I am color blind though

I see a Dr. Seuss type schism in American society coming soon. Hopefully we can avert a holocaust by you people just agreeing with me that it's obviously blue and black... And the butter goes on top of the toast.

The OP dress is black and blue. I see White and gold in this one though.
