I have never looked at the dress and thought anything other than white/gold.

It's a good poverty test. Anyone who see's white and gold is poor; anyone who sees black and blue probably has some value to society.

Would blue/gold be middle class then?

Blue/gold sounds like Michigan.

Fry cooks. At best.

I've also saw both colors and thought that it was just a interwebz troll job.

White/gold shows superior intelligence. Anyone who see a different color is an SEC fan.

I see it as blue and black. I do that cause I am normal and not poor. The rest of that see it as white and gold are retarded.

If I look at the bottom half of the picture with the top covered I see blue and black. If I look at the top half of the picture with the bottom covered I see gold and white. If I look at the whole thing at once I see a shitty picture. If the photographer knew how to shoot this wouldn't be an argument.

So are you fucking with me just to be difficult?
Oddly enough, it immediately looked clearly white and gold to me, but after scrolling down it looked blue and gold!

I think the white light in the top right corner tricks my eye into seeing white, and scrolling down I see a light blue. But I can't see the black as anything other than an ugly gold color. Must be my display settings, which I've never calibrated (although I keep lcd brightness very high)

What I see is almost exactly the "original" pic with 0% brightness and 0% contrast, although I wonder if that isn't still the same if I change my settings.

I didnt read any of the articles, but I am pretty sure its because of the backlighting fucking up the exposure or something.

Showed the "original" picture to 3 other guys at dinner. 2 see black and blue whole me and the other see white and gold. Showed the actual dress picture and all 4 of us see blue and black, but the 2 think it's the same picture. Then show the lighter version and the 2 black and blue guys see Carolina clue and brown/gold as well as me and one guy sees white and gold.

Just crazy to me.

this is crazy....TWO times now I've seen one color set, started reading below, and seen a rather different color set. First it was clear white and gold, then I saw a light blue....Reading this article I saw the same white and gold, and then suddenly blue and black (and actually it seems like there's a visual effect)

Mind blownt
