No way, really ? I really thought it was always white and gold. This cannot be the same dress, I do not trust my eyes anymore

The second photo is supposed to be the same dress? Looks like an homage, aka knock-off attempt to me. What happened to the shoulders?

Even with my phone cranked all the way up it still looks blue to me. I've never been able to see the white and gold version people claim exists.

All three of these look blue and black just with different levels of saturation?? I can understand how people can maybe see the gold, but interpreting the blue as white is baffling to me. Bluer than the day sky.

I have always only seen black and blue, even in the light version my brain doesn't make it gold and white. It's strange to me why people perceive this as gold.

Edit this video was the only one to make me see it https://youtu.be/YB36n00NHBw

Left: blue and black.
Middle: light blue and black.
Right: dark blue and black.

The dress is blue and black. It will never be white or gold. The lighting or saturation doesn't matter.

Me too!

THANK YOU

This is the first time I've seen this take upvoted.

Same. Initially white and gold, but now mostly blue and gold, although if I stare at it I can make it change back and forth.

I initially saw black and blue, but after scrolling to the top of this thread yesterday I could only see white and gold and again today, even zooming in.

Immediately switched to black and blue after reading that.

The mind is a fascinating thing.

Edit: Holy crap I'm back to white and gold.

To me the background looks more like the left.

Oh wild. When I first saw this on lemmy it was white and gold. Then I clicked the image and looked and thought, "yeah, that's what I figured." Then I scrolled up and it was blue and brown. Can see white and gold again. Fun.

I still think the white and gold people are trolling.

Crazy talk. White and gold only

I do

It's white and gold to me

I do, too

It's white/gold if you recognize that it's lit from behind. So the dress appearing darker is due to there being much less light on it than the stuff behind it.

I can't see it as blue/black because I can't make my brain ignore the fact that it's backlit. But if your brain never recognizes that, then I suppose it would look blue.

I like Brainstorm vs Green Needle even better. The're not even the same amount of syllables! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1okD66RmktA

i hear Laurel at high volumes and Yanny at low volumes, and if i turn down/up the volume little by little i can hear the same one across all volumes ( brain resets after a few seconds of not listening)

I hear it as "Yammi" and see the dress as light blue and gold.

Of course, both are the only objectively correct answers 😉

Team Yanny

I hear both simultaneously at different frequency. Yanny is way higher.

I hear pancaked!

I hate that one because I hear both of them at the same time Dx feels like pure insanity.

And the trainer.

The dress was always blue and black to me (blue and copper tinged black really), but this one keeps switching from grey and mint to pink and white and then back again.

For some reason, in the thumbnail, it's much easier to convince my brain that it's a white and gold dress in shadow. When I expand the image, it's pretty much impossible for me to see it as anything other than blue & black.

This concludes your long term memory exam. Please see the lady at the front desk to schedule your short term exam.

You want wild? I see it white and gold in the PC, and blue and black(ish) on the phone.

I've been trying for the past minute and cannot see anything other than white and gold 🤷‍♂️

Back when this went viral, I only saw white and gold. Then one moment it just sorta morphed into blue and black. Now I can't turn it back to white and gold for the love of me.

I saw this same post yesterday and the dress was blue and black. Later that day it was gold and white. Today it is gold and white still.

Same phone. Same location in my house. Different times of day though. It kind of fucked with my head though because when the dress meme was going around I only saw it one color (though I don't remember which it was).

I see it as white and gold unless I squeeze my eyes almost shut and then it looks blue.

Right? Everyone has had eyes I guess.

It had a lot to do with low quality displays at the time and not necessarily people seeing it incorrectly.
