I am already time blind, and now events are repeating?! I’m not even dead yet and I’m watching reruns!
Infinite multiverse at our disposal and nothing to watch.
I was wonder what the fuck was this deja vu happening I still can’t recollect fs
Yeah it was popular for a minute back like in 2013 I think, give or take 1-2 years.
Its just grey, never understood that fight it’s just grey and light grey.
Wasn’t he just arrested in New Orleans?
Yeah but he’s in Rome begging people for money in his underwear now. Shia’s a busy man.
You know what he says. Just do it.
edit: As an aside, before I started becoming aware of actors and their names, he made me think of a beagle. I kind of thought there might be some overlap in their stories. I’m now pretty confident that I was mistaken.
Nobody knows you’re a dog on the internet
Yeah we do, it’s just polite not to mention it.
NO we are NOT doing this again please!
The bait be baiting!
Yes we are. :)
I was one of those gold & white people.
I was always blue and black, except for one specific time I remember it being white and gold. But only that once, it was extremely surreal.
First day I saw this dress and thought it was white and gold. Next day I saw another picture that was blue and black and I couldn’t unsee it. I went and found the same picture from exactly that source I saw the other day. It was blue and black. My brain broke.
Same! I got my brain to see it that way once after trying for like 30 minutes, but never again.
You and one of my mom’s very intelligent friends. Really makes me question if the high “what if colors are perceived differently” thought wasn’t completely on point.
Here’s one to ponder: we assume the data related to our brain from our sense gives us an accurate idea of what’s around us. But from an evolutionary standpoint, that is irrelevant - our senses keep us alive, that’s all.
I see blue and gold.
What in the hell, this is the first time I’ve been able to actually see it as blue and black
If you look at the orginal on wikipedia the image is much brighter:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress
E: FWIW in case anyone is interested, I’ve found if you activate the Blue Light Filter mode on your device it looks white and gold, where as if you deactivate it, it looks blue and black.
I remember, that I was able to understand people, who saw it as white and gold, but now I can’t. I just see black and blue. I don’t even know which parts are supposed to be gold.
The black part is gold, the blue part is white. The wiki image is the original and its easier (at least to me) to jump between the two different colour combinations.
It help to look at the edge of the sleeve on the left, without focusing on the rest of the dress its self. This causes the colours to swap back and forth for me.
Wait… It was actually white and gold the whole time? I never saw it as white and gold
No?
The dress was confirmed as a royal blue “Lace Bodycon Dress” from the retailer Roman Originals. The dress is black and blue; although it was available in three other colours (red, pink, and ivory, each with black lace), a white and gold version was not available at the time.
To illustrate:
(I didn’t expect such deep blue. Guess the exposure on the camera was ridiculously out of whack.)
the photo yes but not the dress itself, take the og photo from the wiki into any photoshop with a color picker, and look at the points it marks it on the color range (it shows it between yellow and red nowhere near any blue) its gold stripes in the photo. the “white dress” parts do show up with light blue tint, it all just because of the terrible back light overexposed effect. the real dress yes is blue and black, but the photo is gold stripes with light-blueish white dress.
I wouldn’t call this “nowhere near blue”:
the ‘black’ parts are gold in the photo yes they are in fact “nowhere near blue” the part you zoomed in on is the blue/white parts that have a blue tint.
…
Did you pick that colour from the part that’s black IRL? Of course that won’t be blue.
Edit: Here’s the original picture with max saturation. It clearly shows the blue parts as blue:
I legitimately cannot believe people are still arguing this.
I cant believe who gave a shit in the first place.
Why is it so clearly blue and black in your screenshot?
Yes that is how color works; if you take out the blue it won’t look blue.
It is edited. The background is much more dimmed.
That’s cause it’s been color corrected to remove the harsh lighting.
How your brain looked at the bright ass room and decided to look at the dress like it was dimly lit still makes no sense to me, but this is why people called those seeing white and gold as crazy.
This photo does look blue and black to me but when it was a big controversy, it looked white and gold to me
It‘s because the OP picture is a white balance adjusted version.
This is the original:
This fucks with my brain so much. The last time I looked at the original pic, it was white and gold and nothing I did could change that. Looking at this one just now, it was white and gold again but this time as I started scrolling down it shifted into blue and black and now that’s how it’s staying.
That looks white and gold to me
Well, we now know, for a fact, that you are wrong

Woah, I was trying to see it the other way and tilted my phone just enough for the picture to rotate - it was immediately apparent what people were talking about. Now I can see it both ways.
Same. What the fuck, brain?
Blows my mind! I saw black first…then blue. Wow.
It’s cobalt and navy.
They need to invest in better lighting in that store, it’s super dark in there
(Also like 40% of the population is red-green colorblind)
Ive always seen this as white and gold. I just zoomed in on the shoulder to see the blue… it just transitioned before my eyes… I need to lay down
I remember the first time this did the rounds. Someone found a way to trick your eyes into seeing the other color. They flipped it upside down to sort of detach it from what you already associated and began by zooming way in on the part what looked most blue or white (the idea being if you normally see one you watched them zoom out from the one that looks most like the other). It was like magic. It was the only time I was ever able to see it as white and gold. It’s the sort of thing I always understood on paper (and even I can see the black part is sort of a very dark brownish goldenrod sort of) but seeing it was amazing.
It sort of reminds me of Outer Wilds, which I know is a weird reference. There’s a part of the game where you’re going over the scientists of old’s research and they find things going into black holes come out slightly before they go in. But they insist they want to actually see it with their eyes so they don’t believe it’s just a rounding error. The machine they have to demonstrate this is still working and sure enough you can interact with it too and see your probe come out before it goes in.
It’s amazing that pic caused an uproar.
it’s red and pink
I wouldnt wear that in any of the 2 variants tbh
Yes, what a nice dress…
…anyway, have you considered joining the army?
Both is good :)
