What colours do you see when you look at this dress?
Now check this out: http://sploid.gizmodo.com/some-p…
When I first saw it I thought it was a joke that people were playing along with, until I left the tab there by mistake and came back to it an hour later to see gold! fucking weird.

I saw gold from the start... cuz that's what I do... stay gold
- Gnash0
lol. my daughter just showed that to me claiming it's white and gold.
- e-pill0

- Akagiyama0
It's black and blue for me.
- i_monk0
It's bluish-white and brown.
- PonyBoy0
I see gray/purple/blue and brown.... but I KNOW it's white and gold cuz of the back light killing the foreground light and making the material darker (less lit)... ... but yeah— I SEE gray/purple/blue and brown(ish)

I see a badly lit photo. But yEah gold/brown and blueish white.

I wish it wasn't such a shitty photo; for that reason I don't see why everyone is going berserk about this.
That said, it looks light purple and brown to me.

OK, here's the thing: are people saying what colors they SEE, or what color they think the dress actually is?
Because I'm with Glorpo, the photo is of terrible quality. It looks like there could be bad lighting on it. If people are losing their shit over what colors are represented in the photo because it's a crappy photo, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME. And, if people are arguing over what colors the dress actually is, someone could have wrapped it up in 10 seconds by posting a catalog photo of it.
So dumb.

I could see how people couldn't think black, but the warm tint makes me see a dark olive.

There are a few factors to consider when evaluating these colors:
1) How the camera lens and sensor perceived and captured it
2) How your monitor displays it
3) How your eyes perceive these ranges of color on a monitor
4) How you brain dismisses the fact that you're part of a mass punkingAlso, if this weren't such a big joke, I'd take issue with the question being asked. Are we being asked what colors we believe the dress *actually* is or what actual RGB values are being use to represent and display the dress in this image.
Answers from these two camps of reasoning will obviously lead to contrary opinions thus creating the illusion of vision anomalies.

judging by the bright day light in the back. I would assume the dress is in the shade. when camera's white balance is set to day light. white in the shade in most case turns light blue with hint of magenta.
with experience and repeatable scenario. My would say i'm 99% sure that light purple area of the dress are supoosed to be white under K6600 Light.

it all gets really fucked up when the color shifts on you. i saw it clearly as blue and black. i even texted the image to someone. to check color space i rechecked it after i started seeing white and gold. sure enough, it was whitish and gold online and on my phone. my body must be going through changes.
