Title: The dress

It's fucking white and gold. It has white parts and it has gold parts. Ergo, it's white and gold.... FACT!

But apparently there are rather a lot of people in the world that think it's blue and black (which it fucking isn't).

Oh, Tef, let's put the world straight and let them know that it's white and gold, which it is, and anybody that thinks it's black and blue is a wrong cunt.

Somebody has voted 'black and blue'

I think they're trolling.

It's just changed for me. It was white and gold but now it is blues and black.

Bizarre...if you look at it for a while, what you first see as black starts to look a bit goldie coloured but how you can see the blue bits as white is beyond me  ???

The first time I saw it it was, for me, definitely white and gold. Without a doubt.

Now, though it is definitely blue and black.

I suppose what this conclusively prooves is that anyone who sees it as white and gold has fucked up eyes and/or brain and may have any number of other deficiencies.  Interesting... :hmmm:

I had the same perception, but my colour vision is odd anyway, being red/green colour blind.

First time I looked, it was as black and blue as it could possibly be, 5 mins later it's blatantly white and gold, very odd seeing from both points of view.

Me. Although it's not the whitest of whites, it is defiantly 100% white. Well not 100% white, but more white than blue.  :hmmm:

This is the bit I don't really get.. I'm a trainee psychologist and debates like this were pretty much the most fucking boring part of my degree.

I'm far more fascinated/confused by the notion that anyone actually gives a shit..

Now, though it is definitely blue and black.

On my work PC and in the car showroom it was blue and black. I got home, showed the family, and on our iMac,  our phones and tablets it's white and gold for me, but still blue and black for them...

We need something similar to happen to our purple and black kit when we play Doncaster...

the original dress was black and blue. the picture of it wasn't.

the computer may have 'proved it' but if the most popular perception is white/gold then the scientific definition of blue/black must be wrong!

I disagree will Ells, I think it's pretty interesting how our brains and eyes differ both physically and in perception.

This was on the Last Leg last night. I saw white and gold, my wife blue and black. They said that it was explained as how our eyes react to the lighting around the picture. And that colours are something we make up in our head.

Then this morning I saw it as blue and black. Odd, kind of interesting, but don't think it will outlast Madonna's tumble.

Has it got anything to do with eye colour? Mine are blue and the dress is white and gold. And it's always white and gold. Because it's white and gold.
Anyone who 'sees' other colours has a mental health issue and should ask their GP to refer them for psychiatric observation.
