it's fuckin white, 9 of out 10 people say it's white, only people with some kind of crazy genetic disorder think it's blue or see UV aura's or infrarred halos.

Those people are fucking crazy and probably believe in jesus because their seeing shit.

It's white and gold. My first words were.... Ohhh it looks satin. The girls I was talking too gave me a blank stare and I said, oh god damnit it's white satin. and I then got lectured on how blue It was and I was liek


Give me some god damned science u fucking freaks

I see it as black and blue but there's an actual legitimate explanation for why people see it differently.

And just to further cement that what the above explanation is getting at. Go ahead and look at the OP with those three dresses, see anything different between the three besides the dress color? The gamma is different between the three.

http://www.wired.com/2015/02/science...s-color-dress/ <-- Science behind the blue dress

But personally I agree with "WhiteNinjaX"s explanation from Millburn's post.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roman-Womens.../dp/B00SJEUCWU This is the dress people have been calling white and gold. It's not. The photo was just so horrendous that it created an optical illusion much like this: https://phenomenalqualities.files.wo...iks-cube-2.jpg The orange-looking square in the middle on the dark side and the brown-looking square in the middle of the bright side are actually the exact same color.

If I look at it in my left monitor, the middle is clearly blue and black. If I drag it over to my right monitor, the middle is clearly white and gold. My right monitor is old and washed out, and has shitty color.

Anyone who says this is about good or bad eyesight is wrong.

It's the variation in brightness and color configurations between peoples phones/ipads/monitors/settings etc etc which influences the severity of the underlying optical illusion.

the thing about this is if you haven't seen both it's like trying to explain to someone that what they're clearly seeing in front of them is not what they're seeing

if u tried to do that with anything the person would be like "fk off i know what i see"

i just had an hour long talk with my friend about it, and he claimed it was only white and gold. not ten minutes ago did he stop and go "okay what the fuck. i just went back to the imgur i linked you that i created and it looks blue/black to me now. i can even switch them at will if i try"
