So...dresses..

[gfdhg]

I hope no one kills my reputation for posting this, and that I'm not too late with the actual announcements of it but...

 

What color is the dress?

Red.

Blue and black. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong. D:

I never understood this...it's black and blue. Anyone who looks at the background can tell which one is or isn't filtered. >.>;

You guys really don't understand.  When you see the white-and-gold it is not like its a choice that's just what you see.  That's what I naturally see too, it can't be helped! Its so ridiculously obviously white-and-gold that anyone suggesting otherwise sounds crazy (just like you are in saying its obviously black and blue!) I've never seen the tricks the mind plays so clearly illustrated in any intentional effort compared to this one happenstance snapshot.

 

I found that by covering all but a sliver of the dress with something I could find a way to make my mind adjust to seeing it as blue-and-black.  Revealing the overall picture slowly after adjusting like that let me see the entire dress in the blue-and-black light, it was actually pretty amazing - far more so than any other optical illusion image I've looked at.  I feel pretty neat having been able to see it both ways, and really can confirm that its the same stupid picture, the mind just interprets it two different ways depending upon some mixture of context, and how its wired.

 

I came back to the computer half an hour later and it was white-and-gold again.

 

Its not the worst meme of 2015, its one of the most interesting ever :-]

 

Edit: I just had a thought. To go from seeing it as white-and-gold I had to cover all but the darker left hand portion. Someone who see's the black and blue could similarly try covering all but the very right hand side where its so bright, and where white-and-gold coloring seems most vivid. Maybe you'll surprise yourself! (Never mind.. either way I work it turns black and blue.. something just about the overall effect makes it look wrongly white-and-gold!)

This. Already tired of it. Pretty sad it makes higher news then Spock passing away ;-;

[Aduu Avagnar]

already tired of it, its blue and black. done. no need to show it anymore.

[Ruran]

I don't even care what color it is, I'm tired of seeing it everywhere!

 

Glad some people are enjoying the speculation/science aspect, but yeah. Everywhere.

[Maril]

I am so confused because I saw it yesterday and it was white and gold. And then when I browsed interwebs on my tablet later in the night, it was blue and black. The very same images. 

I know it's something with the lightwaves or so but like..

Soooooo many people are too cool for fun and interesting!! ^^

[Desu Nee]

It's the schrondiner dress. In another news, can we please not talk about this, I literally lost friends over this discussion

 

This dress is worse than Mario fucking Party.

[Dogberry]

Who cares about the color of the dress when it's just going to end up on my bedroom floor?

[Nebbs]

Isn't the question..

 

1. Is it crafted (and how many stars) or can I buy it (how many gil)?

2. Is it dyeable?

3. Will it make my backside look big?

4. Can I get it in my size.. lala

[Oscare]

Love the obnoxiously obvious light-effect on the furthest left side of the strip.

 

It's blue-black, for the record.

[TheLastCandle]

When I first saw it, I was scrolling "up" on another message board and the picture is darker towards the bottom, so I always saw it as black and blue. I can definitely see how a person would say gold and white, though.

[Kage]

Whenever I see the middle image it just looks white and gold. The darker colors just makes me think oh its in weird lighting.

 

I can't just unsee the colors even when I know they are black and blue
