This video honestly helped me realise how you can see the black and blue! But overall, it's still white and gold to me. I think my issue was thinking people saw the original dark blue, but I think they just see it as light blue and their brain processes the overexposed black as its true colour. So I can kiiiinda see it now!

[@cri9178]

*I see white and gold*

[@_Veris_]

I had always been seeing black and blue. It was cool to see the white and gold version!

[@thephaneron3676]

Here's my reasoning. I always *interpreted* the dress to be white and gold because- first and foremost- my mind initially (and erroneously) established that it was silhouetted against bright sunlight 🌞 in the background, but *only from behind* and not illuminated by light in the foreground. Instead, the bluish hue would be a reflection of the dark gloomy shadows behind the camera 📸 Let's be honest; absolutely everyone in the white/gold camp *can and do* see the blue whether they want to admit it or not... We just assume based on the lack of context clues that the blue tone is the blockage of light from a dark shaded area behind the photographer that's cast upon a white dress. In saying this, it's precisely because we see the blue but attribute it to darkness that we therefore *cannot see the black.* It's the inevitable conclusion. While I always conceded that the dress I interpreted as white *does objectively have a blue hue,* I attributed that hue to the illuminant that's cast upon it, or in this case the lack thereof... *And not the intrinsic color of the fabric itself.* Once you've established the setting of the dress to be silhouetted by bright sunlight 🌞 from behind whilst facing away from it towards an area of shade, then the color black 🖤 can't possibly appear brighter than complete darkness or the *absence of a light source,* so ruling out black is perfectly reasonable. Once your brain has decided to interpret the arbitrary blue hue to be *white fabric bathed in shadows and the lack of lighting in the foreground,* then by that logic you CANNOT see the black. It's impossible in that context. And this suspicion is only further consolidated when you place a sample of the stripe color (isolated from any context clues) next to pure jet black. So assuming that the deep bronzy shade must be gold trim as it would appear in dim shadows makes perfect sense! If it was black trim in shadows it would naturally just appear pitch black which doesn't reflect light. _So therefore you must default to gold that also isn't reflecting light, hence the deep saturation._ Make sense now? *Black would NOT in any way appear lighter in shadows.* It's physically impossible. Therefore, my brain had no choice but to deduce it to be gold once I had decided on white... Which it is when you cover the surroundings. You must assume it's gold if you decide the dress is white and in shadow, and juxtapose the bronzy hue (isolated from context clues) against pure black. Because pure black IS exactly how it would appear if the dress were *actually in shadows.* Black facing shade that somehow appears *much lighter than darkness itself seems absolutely absurd.* Thus, gold 🥇 is the logical conclusion. The deep bronze hue is precisely how gold would appear in shade! Even though I now know for certain that the dress👗is absolutely and unequivocally *black and blue* and that there was indeed direct illumination of the dress in the background, my mind is still perfectly capable of seeing white and gold that appears blue due to a lack of illumination. However, once you accept that it's not facing shade and that the dress is not only backlit but also reflecting light pouring in from the foreground, then changing your mind to see *blue fabric with glossy, reflective black trim* 💙 becomes a piece of cake 🍰 thereafter 😉 What was once interpreted to be dull golden fabric that was plunged in dark shade then easily becomes a blue dress bathed in bright light, with shiny black trim reflecting the golden rays ☀️. And once you see it you can't unsee it. _Perspective is everything!_

[@objective_psychology]

why the fuck would it be sunlight

[@ImmenseJ-tard8253]

did you see the whole essay you wrote?

[@EIizabethGrace]

@@objective_psychology ​ To me it looks like sunshine because it looks like it comes in through a floor-to-ceiling window. Regardless, though, there is an extremely bright light behind the dress, right? I mean, it even brightens part of the floor. To me it really makes it look like it brightens up the area behind the dress while the side we get to see remains in the dark.

[@maryhaunny944]

The dress is black and blue, as proof of other pics of it later confirmed. The only particular thing simply is that both colors are exposed directly to artificial light, creating a reflection; causing for the black to look dark grey with a gold-ish effect and for the blue to look more like a light indigo color. Those who perceive light indigo as pure white and the gold-ish dark grey as pure gold evidently just perceive light colors lighter than they are when exposed to a certain amount of light. It seems to be just a harmless abnormality in one's brain/eyes. Very fascinating nonetheless!

[@Profeshinal]

I think it's the lighting. Because even when taking an eye drop tool in an art app and placing the gold/black trim by itself, I can't see black. Even comparing it to actual black and it's a completely different color.

[@L3ver]

I don't see them as pure white and gold, I see them as what they are, which is what you described - light indigo and goldish dark gray, which are both a far-cry from blue and black.

[@darrenvarley105]

soooo in that light its shows as gold and white. HENCE GOLD AND WHITE IN THE PICTURE. The color shown in the picture is the color.... just becuae its actually a different color without the lighting doesnt change the fact of the picture.

Here’s what helped me, friends. Focus on the black and blue picture after the gentleman adjusts the picture’s exposure. Now instead of thinking colors, imagine there is a huge window to the outside right in front of the dress. Think of it as watching a fast forwarded, colored security recording that has the camera facing the dress, and is going from night time to day time (like the sun is rising). Watch it when the gentleman does the smooth transition. You may need to rewatch the transition 1-2 more times, but keep that same mentality. It’s a black and blue dress going from night to day. Hope that helps. 👍🏼

[@susiebaka3388]

omg it worked! i was in team gold-and-white and now i can see the black-and-blue

[@Dmobley9901]

Oh my god this is actually real and not just a meme to gaslight people- I saw it as black and blue initially and had no idea how someone could see white and gold unless the colors were overly saturated or exposed or something- But yeah, when I see it extremely close up, I see it white and gold clear as day, and if I blink at the wrong time it's like they color palette changes in an instant. I guess it's something to do with how the brain measures contrast or something. Actually if I look at the top section and try to focus on not letting my brain lose the impression of the white and gold I actually see a combination, looking at the top half where it's the most exposed to light, I see light blue with black, but a gold tint from the light on the top half, almost as if the black part was partially reflective somehow, giving it a shine?

[@the_light_writer]

I still see white and gold. I'll always see white and gold. No matter how much people darken it or give it contrast, I still see white and gold.

[@samanthac3315]

It didn't work for me either--I just see like a blue cast of light on the dress and it's STILL white and gold

[@the_light_writer]

Samantha C Yup, me too! When people first started showing the 3 in a row (lightest to darkest) I didn't even understand why, or what they were trying to do. But then I realized it was because they thought that the darkest photo would "show" us that it is in fact blue and black. But that did not work for me.

So basically the actual pixels are white and gold, but they are that way because the camera overexposed a blue and black dress, but somehow some portion of the population is able to undo camera overexposure with their eyes?

[@tyleralmquist7606]

I never see it as white and gold, always black and blue. But I am amazed to those people who saw it as white and gold at first glance. It really depends from the perception of light.

[@jordanwhite8567]

People who see white and gold be default are perceiving the light at the right side of the screen as being in the background. People who are blue and black by default are perceiving the light to be shining on the front of the dress. Take your thumb or hand and cover up the right side of the image and try to imagine the light shining from the opposite direction of what I just mentioned and it should help you at least understand how someone could perceive it differently. Even if it doesn’t 100% change and stick for you.

[@gigii0706]

is this to see white and gold or to see black and blue?

People that see white and gold actually subconsciously take the area lighting in account so it compensates for the dark room and corrects it. It's not wrong. It's just received different

HOW IS THIS BLACK AND BLUE??? I can see the blue but black?? It's clearly gold!! I mean I can't see any black on this dress And even if it was originally black and blue, the creator of this photo has lowered the brightness so much that now it has become golden and white so if we adapt the image we could see black and blue but if we do not adapt the photo it is clearly golden and white

No it's always looked to me like there was a light blue tint and the gold looks like a slightly dirty gold too. Interestingly in this video though when they did some of the really close up crops of it some of them did look more like pure white and gold full image is definitely light blue though.
