"lol i literally had to open up photoshop and use my color correcting skills i learned in photography to figure it out but yea
that dress is blue and black, the white spot in the corner makes ppl who have a yellow color bias (like my self) think that its white and gold bc the lighting makes the black look yellow and thus we assume the lighter part has to be a white dress that has a blue cast.
this happens when pictures are over exposed, with the proper exposure (or close to proper the lights will stil be blown out as this was shot wit a phone camera) u can see the dress is black n blue. "

Yeah the possible explanations are quite interesting. The most popular theory, the one with "light subtraction", helped me try and switch the colors by having me ignore the light sources as much as possible.

I honestly thought people were just trolling at first before I saw it go viral. I was so sure it was white and gold.


u for real


Yeah, I still see gold and white if I don't really force myself to switch it. I can do it now, with some effort.

When people say they looked at the altered version and then look back at the original, they now see it in the same color, but with me I still see the original as gold and white.

Altered does look black and blue, but I still see the original as gold and white
deletedabout 10 years
but does the altered version look black and blue to you or no? does the original version still look white and gold even after seeing the altered version? o____o

do people who claim they see black and blue actually see black and blue or do they just say so to be with the cool kids? we'll never find out


I actually genuinely see black and blue. My mother called me colourblind today for saying that, but that's what I actually see so. xP
