Your eyes have retinas, the things that let you interpret color. There’s rods, round things, and cones that stick out, which is what gives your eye a textured appearance in the colored part. The “cones” see color. The “rods” see shade, like black, white and grey. Cones only work when enough light passes through. So while I see the fabric as white, someone else may see it as blue because my cones aren’t responding to the dim lighting. My rods see it as a shade (white). There’s three cones, small, medium and large. They are blue sensitive, green sensitive, and red sensitive.
As for the black bit (which I see as gold), it’s called additive mixing. Blue, green and red are the main colors for additive mixing. This is where it gets really tricky. Subtractive mixing, such as with paint, means the more colors you add the murkier it gets until it’s black. ADDITIVE mixing, when you add the three colors eyes see best, red, green and blue, (not to be confused with primary colors red, blue and yellow) it makes pure white.

—Blue and Black: In conclusion, your retina’s cones are more high functioning, and this results in your eyes doing subtractive mixing.

—White and Gold: our eyes don’t work well in dim light so our retinas rods see white, and this makes them less light sensitive, causing additive mixing, (that of green and red), to make gold.

**** UPDATE to prove this theory I turned my phone brightness from the lowest to highest and saw it switching from white and gold (at the lowest) to light blue and darker gold (at the highest) meaning people that see blue and black are more sensitive to light (better eyesight and not looking at the sun like your moms told you)

**Also if you see white and gold sometimes, blue and black another, or a combination of the two, your eyes are very average, and it could change because of YOUR rooms lighting or the tilt of your phone. This is the same manipulation they use for optical illusions"

it's blue and black go home everyone

This is apparently the explanation

literally none of this is true

???

[.:FancyPants:.]

theres no big event im my life and i see black and blue :C

because that explanation is a huge load of stuff, emotions won't change the way you interpret that image or you'd be seeing all sorts of objects in different colors on a daily basis. including, probably, the color of this forum.

kimon please stop its white and gold just use the friggin paint tools and see that the two dominant colors are goldish-brown and light blue

It's more like brown and light blue. If the gold-looking stuff was ever black, it's been extremely faded.
Like really. Using the color picker tool you can clearly see it's a gold-ish brown and a light blue.

Two main colors of the dress as pictured (not as in the original product)





Learn 2 picture people.

[Decepticon]

now hold the forgetin phone

other people's images like these (and some others) are appearing different than others

now, before kimon shoves his 'TRUE FACTS!!!!!', this one is a lot more darker than what im seeing now, but i'm still seeing white and gold, and i'm sure it's white and gold. except it seems the lighting is causing one side of the dress to be a lot more darker than the other

yeah the lighting in the picture is bad so my conclusion is that it's blue and a dark muddish black/brown

literally none of this is true

yeah lmao

kimon please stop its white and gold just use the friggin paint tools and see that the two dominant colors are goldish-brown and light blue

[Aces]

it's blue and black go home everyone

yeah the lighting in the picture is bad so my conclusion is that it's blue and a dark muddish black/brownyeah lmao

I'm seeing that so I'm willing to agree

This whole thread is just one big mind forget.
