At first I saw an off white and gold, but then on the adjusted image it is for sure blue and black.

I see blue in all three of those. From light blue to dark blue.

I get how some of you could see gold instead of black due to how the light is reflecting off the black meshy parts, but the damn thing is blue!

I'm convinced of the opposite...I don't see how anyone could see the gold as black. The blue, yes, but to me the trip is clearly gold/copper.

That's awesome.

When I first saw the picture, I was sure it was white and gold. But after several viewings, I played with the screen brightness on my computer and could see that it was obviously blue and black. I went and did something else for a while and came back and looked again. For a second or two it was white and gold, but then quickly looked blue and black. Now when I see it, I can no longer interpret white and gold!

The white isn't a true white, it's kind of a dull white with a tiny hint of blue but not enough for me to call it blue at first.

Was white and gold last night, now blue and black this morning. Kinda neat

I still think this is the biggest collective troll job of the year (or maybe decade).

Clearly blue and black. Viewed on multiple screens last night and this morning.

I hate the internet so much for this stunt.

[East Coast Flame]

At first I was convinced it was gold and light blue and now all I see is black and blue.

I think I am having a stroke.

Last night on my ipad it was clear white and gold. Like not even blue (brighter screen, and the picture was on black).

On calgarypuck this morning, I saw medium blue and gold (darker contrast on this monitor, whitish background). I read the last page of the thread, than go back to the first page, it's now deeper blue and...black

The brightest parts of this Barcelona chair are a lighter grey due to the lighting, but the leather is obviously black:

I cropped the entire top section of the dress. Photoshop color picker says gold or brown.

I'm aware it's a black and blue dress (apparently). This crappy picture however is gold and light blue/nearly white.

Don't take my word for it. That's Photoshop results. And Photoshop doesn't have human eyes and a brain to be tricked .

So interesting to see this all fold out over something as simple as a dress color. Pretty cool though!

I can bounce between the colors. When I first saw the picture, it was clearly white and gold, eventually after looking at it a few more times, it was blue and black. But! I can actually switch it back to white and gold when I stare at the over exposed portions for a while.

I also can only see blue and black in orange-ish lighting in the original. Even in the photos with most blue light removed.

I can change the colour on a whim now. if I look at the top part, it's white/gold, but if I look below it, it's blue/black.

[Northendzone]

so this important issue has bene solved and we can now all go back to sorting out importnat issues surrounding the kardashians.

[Flabbibulin]

I see white and gold in every instance- on any device or monitor, whether it is a small thumbnail picture or full size, and even if it is just a small section of the photo.

I think most of us seeing white and gold can sort of understand seeing a little blue instead of white, but how on earth anyone is seeing black instead of gold is mystifying.

[Frequitude]

I can understand the white/blue debate based on people assuming different lighting. But I have no idea how any of you could see black over gold.

edit: to answer the question, I see neither. It is blue and gold. The rest of you are taking crazy pills.
