What about the soldiers? step ur game up

The "evidence" presented was in no way substantiated. People are posting this evidence about a dress that's supposedly the real dress, we have no way of knowing that to be true.

Well, we know now that it was actually a blue and black dress. But why would any natural lighting make a white dress /that/ blue? Maybe I just don't get out enough?

In the shadow of a sunny day, white can appear that shade of blue. I think we don't recognize it as such, because we know the context of the situation. We have no context of what kind of environment the photo was taken in, how stuffty the camera is, etc...

It just seems to me that the "evidence" we all seem to be taking as conclusive and all-telling, is completely unsupported. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not incline to believe that any pseudo-science explanation is correct, or some dress is the real dress, just because someone said it is.

do you THINK I have the patience for this

But like, the pixels in that image are clearly blue. Like, what makes you think that the dress itself is white?

That sort of lighting can exist. The pixels here are clearly blue, but the snow itself is white. Now, that being said, the lighting conditions required to make white stuff look like light blue stuff as seen in this photo is most certainly NOT the lighting seen in the rest of the image with the dress, but by focusing entirely on the dress itself it can appear to be white and gold.

Okay, I think I can see where people are coming from now.

Alright, so that pretty much exhausts all my interest in this debate.

That's one forget-ugly dress either way

did you read my post like did you actually read it and not skim it

what you are actually, literally trying to say is that the owner of the dress is lying. this is what you are claiming.

you would rather believe that somebody took a picture of a dress and started telling everyone that it was blue and black, and photoshopping the dress to make it appear that way, the same way it appears in the store's website, than believe that the lighting in the original photo just makes it look gold and white

i don't know what to tell you dude. this is next level desperation.

yeah the dress is really black and blue, but the question was what color does it look like, not what it actually is

so shut the hell up kimon

I believe it was originally blue and black, sure, but the photo clearly shows a white and gold dress.

idk about you guys but i p clearly see a blue and black dress

take colour samples from more neutrally-lit parts of the surface

The OP literally has your color picker. It's lavender and poop.
