JT! Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) This f**ked with my mind at work today like nothing else.(Brown / Rust and other variation on those colours should be considered Gold with regards to the poll.)

N.Wood Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Dark grey / black and lilac/purple? Either way it's horrible. Where do you work, Target? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Kmart. But this isn't a picture I took. It's something that went viral today. See the poll to see why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Gold and white?? Your eyes are f**ked lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Admittingly JT has posted a shite copy of the photo. The original one looks less 'blue' on the white bits and less 'brown' on the gold bits. http://www.snopes.com/info/news/mysterydress.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Yoshi Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well what do you know. It was a Scottish lass that started this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 The one JT posted looks blue and black, the one in the link looks white and gold. Hang on, am I being trolled? The one in JT's post now looks white and gold. Perhaps my eyes are f**ked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Black & Blue, in both JT's pic and the one in the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Admittingly JT has posted a shite copy of the photo. The original one looks less 'blue' on the white bits and less 'brown' on the gold bits. Meh, I'm going to leave the one I have up there. It's the one we were arguing about at work so the illusion still works. So about 33% of the people see this as white, while the rest see blue. As far as what I've researched it's our brain adjusting for white balance. And that can change as has appeared to have happened to you Mike. This adjustment appears to be different for some people. Some people will see this as a white and gold dress, some blue and black. For me, when I first saw this image, it was a very light blue and gold. However when I looked at it again later, it was very clearly black and blue. I though I was looking at a darkened picture but it was the same one.

MadManMike Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yes it's blue and black for me again now. Still not 100% sure this isn't a mass troll lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) looking at the other picture yes, white & gold. Pretty obvious. Still don't get it. You see a white dress, but others see it as blue. So it's not obvious and that's "what to get". Still not 100% sure this isn't a mass troll lol. Promise you it's not. I've been trying to force myself to see it as white but can't do it. Edited February 27, 2015 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) This comic might help: http://xkcd.com/1492/ edit: The one JT has suddenly looks black/blue to me! WTF?

JT! Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yeah that's the principle, but it goes beyond that because it's the same picture yet people see different colors. edit: The one JT has suddenly looks black/blue to me!

Yeah, although when I was looking at the pictures an hour ago they were all white/gold, now they are all blue/black! haha Basically eyes are funny...

JT! Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yup, same thing happened to me. Very light blue and gold to solid blue and black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Kmart. But this isn't a picture I took. It's something that went viral today. See the poll to see why. Gotcha, after I replied I heard them talking about it on Radio 1. Also re-reading what you put, you didn't necessarily insinuate you took the pic at work, just you looked at it at work. My bad.

crilin202 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 To me if I scroll up and look just the top of the dress I see it white/gold, if I scroll down and look at the bottom I see it blue/black.... funny thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Shit picture is shit. Looks like under proper light it's probably white and gold. If it's black then it's a shiny material reflecting the yellowy light in the shop and if it's blue then my guess of the crap picture making it look blue when it's actually white is wrong. Refer to my first sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roman-Womens-Detail-Bodycon-Dress/dp/B00SJEUEJG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1425040226&sr=8-5&keywords=roman+womens+bodycon The dress is actually blue, thought the mrs was taking the piss when she said she saw white, but then the little preview on her Facebook notification was white. Most peculiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) It's like that chequered board illusion with the ball and the tiles are the same colour but they don't appear to be. I think I made a topic on it ages ago. edit - it's not a ball it's a cylinder. Edited February 27, 2015 by dann2707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
