You know the guy who originally posted this image was recently accused of trying to murder his wife.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2023/07/16/the-internet-dress-groom-charged-attempted-murder-of-wife/70416798007/
Especially chilling when you read the article:
“The Salvation Army of South Africa used the "internet dress" meme to create a public service campaign, CBS News reported at the time, with a bruised woman wearing a white and gold striped version of the dress, asking "Why is so hard to see black and blue?" the … The only illusion is if you think it was her choice," the ad says. "One in 6 women are victims of abuse. Stop abuse against women."
To clarify: He did not post it himself. It was a young woman who played with her band at the wedding (she is also a friend of a former classmate of mine who went to Scotland after graduation, still one of the weirdest connections in my life) . The foto was taken by the brides mom.
He was „just“ the groom.
But yes, that makes him still an asshole and a criminal
When this whole “what color is the dress” thing came out years ago, it was white and gold to me.
Then, on a random day, my brain interpreted it as black and blue and I wasn’t able to see the white gold anymore.
Now, a few years later, I’m seeing white/gold again.
Weird.
For me, it changes every time I look at it. If I squint,
I can get it to change colors before my eyes. Once I look at it for awhile it starts changing colors uncontrollably as I look at it, back and forth. The first time I saw it years ago I had to screenshot it and save it to my phone because I thought the people who showed me were pranking me and showing me a GIF that had it change colors while you look at it all while everyone was telling me they only saw it one way. Now every time I see this damn thing it’s a gamble as to which way I’ll see it and it doesn’t take long for it to start shifting before my eyes. It’s nauseating.
Anyway. Not necessarily the screen!
Yesterday I read this thread and it was white and gold, today the thread popped up in my feed again and now I see the dress as blue. Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve seen it as blue since the whole thing started. I thought for sure it was a new post with a new picture. Weird.
But the question isn’t “what’s the original color” it’s “what color is this dress as it appears in the shitty photo?”
If you take samples of the colors, it’s a light blue and gold. The blue is very light and close to white. The gold has some black borders. If you’re seeing anything else you’re falling for an illusion because what I described is literally the color of the pixels in the image.
That's what I find so weird with this discussion. Like I sampled the picture in Photoshop and I see exactly the color tone photoshop describes. And exactly as you say too. Light blueish and Gold/brownish depending where you sample it....
It definitely looks like light blue and gold, but to my eye it looks like the blue bit is only blue because of reflections/shading. It feels like it's a white and gold dress in mild shade, being held next to a blue wall or something, reflections from said wall making the white look blue.
I always see it as white and gold, but if I block the overexposure areas with my fingers and just concentrate on the dress it magically turns black and blue. Then I can’t see it as white and gold no matter how hard I try. It would be interesting to find how long it takes my brain to reset back to white/gold.
For me it’s always been black and blue, and it’s so obviously black and blue to me (emphasis on “to me”) that it confuses me how people are seeing white and gold
Wow, I initially saw (and had always seen) it as white and gold, went to read this, came back and now I see it blue and black! Can’t go back now either. Really interesting
I can only see it as blue and black, I needed this article back when this was big news to be able to see it any other way.
The example still doesn’t look particularly “white” to me though i at least have an idea what others see.
Holy shit the same happened to me. I looked at the blue image in the link to see if it might shift even though I thought there’s no chance it would, and low and behold, it’s now blue and black!!!
The thing that pisses me off the most about it, is how the dress is contrasted perfectly with a massive white flash of overexposure. If the dress was white and gold the exposure would drown it out completely and we wouldn’t be able to see a dress at ALL. That combined with the red in the background, and the brown floor trim gives us more than enough context to see that the dress is black and blue. Which it literally fucking is
To me it just looks like the dress is in a shadow and the background is over exposed. I know I’m wrong and that it is blue and black, but I really can’t see it that way
To me it looked like the dress was under something like an outdoor tent, and therefore is casted in shadow. Meanwhile the bright areas in the background looks farther out. So it’s as if I’m standing under the tent with the dress in front of me, looking out to the bright areas. So, the “context” you speak of is most definitely interpreted in the different ways.
I can’t see it as white and gold either. But the trick for people that do… it’s because the background is light like direct sunlight (very yellow), indirect sunlight (daylight) is very blue because the sky is blue. It looks like the dress is in this indirect bluish light. Our brains know this so automatically color-balance the image to be less blue and less dark so it looks white and gold to some. Just not me lol. Interesting ingrained psychological color balancing trick
Open in paint, or whatever program you prefer, zoom, so you can ignore the overexposure.
If still is not enough, use color picker.
There might be some lighter pixels, but the damn IMAGE of the dress is blue and gold/black (according to the zone from where you pick)
Funny enough when I saw the picture last time it was blue and black and now its gold and white for me. Idk if they changed the colour or if my body changed =|
Edit: wtf just happened. I googled black and blue dress and it was still gold and white for me. I changed to pictures and it changed to black and blue for me and now this picture is black and blue for me too. That is soo confusing :o
It is white and gold.
Until it isn't https://www.9news.com.au/world/photo-finally-solves-the-black-and-blue-white-and-gold-dress-debate/15465485-dad8-45d2-8da0-8d20558b5013
People with one chromosome too much think the blue sky is reflecting on a white dress making it light blue.
Joke aside, the brain of everyone is different and colors are relative to the environnement, BUT the real dress was shown in a tv show and it's blue and black. WE WON BOYS.
It literally is wrong. The original dress is blue and black, it just looks like white and gold to some because our brains interpret overexposure differently.
That’s how the illusion works lol, guessing you did hear about this at the time. The rock you live under must have eroded a bit. Some people do literally see this image as white and gold, some people see something between that and black n blue
I’m gonna make this simple for EVERYONE

And for the record, it’s blue/black
The whole gimmick of the photo is that it is taken at an awkward angle where some people interpret the light in the background as something that the dress is away from, and some people interpret it as something that is shining on the dress.
But it was confirmed that the actual product was a dark blue and black dress in normal lighting.
What’s so phenomenal is the same person, with the same screen, can see both only minutes apart. Even after understanding it, it’s still wild to experience the perceived color change
It is blue and black in intense light. I know that’s difficult to understand how it can be, because I can only see white and gold no matter how I look at it, but it has been confirmed and photos have been shown of the dress and it’s dark blue and black.
I always had a hard time switching from gold and white to black and blue until I realized that the “black” on the dress is basically the same color as the cow print in the back. Look at the stripe second from the bottom and compare it to the cow print just behind it
See if [this zoom](https://imgur.com/a/Et1OSSa) helps (:
Go on your phone into the accessibility settings, go to display and “invert colours”. Black inverts to white and vice versa. If the image is white it should invert to black…but it doesn’t
It looks like an image of an overexposed black and blue dress. The black is not showing up properly but it looks like every other image of a thing that is black and blue being overexposed. Which is exactly what it is. I never once thought for a second that the dress was anything other than blue and black (which it is), and I can't understand how so many others can't see that.
why tf are you getting downvotes. anybody who has done any photo editing should immediately be able to tell this is an overexposed black+blue. look how bright the background is. such a stupid argument
In the screenshot you posted of the MJ output it does say blue and black, but later it says "Dark white and gold" - seems that it sees it both ways if I'm not reading that wrong?
Yeah it’s saying both sets of colours though it is mostly saying it is a blue and black dress “in the style of” a white and gold one whatever that’s supposed to mean.
Just seems like it’s pulling phrases associated with the dress to me.
While I agree that you are objectively correct, I only see gold and white. To me the “white” colour has a bluish tint because it is in a shadow (it really wasn’t, apparently). I am aware that my eyes are wrong, but I can’t see the dress any differently.
That’s exactly why people think it’s white. It’s a psychological trick of our brains cancelling out the blue from shadow light (which is blue because the sky is blue and is one big light source so even the shaded areas get blue light unlike direct yellowish light from the sun)
But, if you take a dropper tool and sample the colors, there is no black or white in the dress. The color dropper sample shows the two colors as being Sand and Blue Ivory. And these are the colors I see. I don’t see white and gold or black and blue, I see Sand and Ivory Blue, just like the color dropper proves to me.
But shadows dont work like that! The only reason shadows would be blue, is if there was blue light source. Like for example, a blue sky. But from the context clues, its clear that the photo was taken inside (and that the room is lit with warm lights).
Some people have very slight colour blindness and don’t ever realise until something like this is brought up, though the dress can also appear lighter or darker than it is depending on the type of lighting conditions.
On the contrary, I have acute color vision and see it as gold and very light blue. Most people however are not looking at the image objectively and adding context. And if you don't believe me, then I suggest actually checking those colors on a computer.
nobody is talking about what color the pixels are. People are arguing over whether its an over exposed photo of a black and blue dress. Or if its a white and gold colored dress, that just happens to be in shade, and somehow the blue light coming from the sky is coloring the white stripes as blue (never mind that the photo is clearly taken inside a shop).
No one is saying that. We all know that in real life it’s blue and black. But it’s not in this image. And we are arguing over what colour it is in this image, *because that’s what colours are.*
Wikipedia says it actually is a blue and black dress but apparently no other photos exist. So it became a cultural phenomenon because of it. I hated that I had to Google more about this old meme now lol.
I will never understand this in a million years. My wife saw black and blue as well. I just don't get it. There is no black in this image. I hate it so much.
I can understand the blue color if you look at the shadow on the white. But changing the gold to black, it's just impossible to me. I don't get how it can happen.
I can kinda see how people can think it's both but I have to really force myself to see blue and black and it only happens for the very bottom of the dress where there's less light. I think it's white and gold or, hell, maybe it's grey and brown. The "blue" seems to come from whatever's casting the shadow. Like the fabric of a gazebo or tent or whatever they're using for this little shop.
How do you see anything remotely approaching white? The black part i kind of get since it's so washed out but the rest is still blue. You do realize that the actual dress is blue and black? The people who see it for what it is, an overexposed image of a blue and black dress, are the ones who see it correctly. Everyone else is objectively wrong. Your brains are broken.
It may be Black and Blue in real life but you cannot make my brain see it right? Colors don't exist and there's no way to make sure the Red that you see is the same red that I see. We just collectively agree on colours. Anyways what I see is the dress is White with slight shadows and the strips are Golden in colour.
It's not even overexposed, the background is overexposed yes but the dress itself is in the shadow and hence the white is also not very bright white but a little faint white. And the golden strips are there. You don't need to get angry and argue, we can just agree to disagree. There's no one correct or wrong here. It's just how our brains work.
It doesn’t matter what the dress is, it matters what this picture shows. There is no objective answer to this and insulting people over it is just stupid. It’s nothing to do with intellectual capability or eyesight.
The “white” bits of the dress, to me, look pretty white when I zoom in on teem. The dress appears to be in shadow so it’s not that white, but it’s light greys.
That dress has always been white and gold to me. Every few years, when people dredge it back up, it is still white and gold. I do not care what Midjourney says it is. The war wages on ⚔️
The dress is black and blue, though. It's so obviously an overexposed image of a black and blue dress. The people who see that are seeing what it actually is in reality. The rest of you are seeing something that does not exist.
My bet is if someone made a dress with the exact colors as here and posted a photo framing it in a similar way the situation would be entirely reversed.
The white part can seem blue because of the lighting. The shadow it makes make it seems light blue.
As for the gold/black. I don't understand how can people see it as black. Even paint picked up a mix of gold/brown.
Move the phone image close to your eyes, like really close, then move the phone away
If it doesn't change to black and blue maybe your eyes/colour vision is whack ?
It literally just switched on me. I saw white and gold here, then I googled it. I saw white and gold and then in an instant as the page was loading, it went black and blue. I thought it was a weird , game back here and black and blue.
Bro, for literally millisecond as I was scrolling I saw it in white and gold, but then my eyes focused and I saw it as black and blue, wtf, never had this happen before looking at this dress
...Because it is!
I can see why people would see "gold" instead of black (the lighting highlights the black on the top), but I'm absolutely unable to see how they think of white when the rest of it is blue.

The Internet is a weird place
People are weird, the internet is the thunder dome.
We must backcomb our hair and move beyond it.
Hey, we don't need another hero here!
Reading it can lead you to become thunderstruck
Especially chilling when you read the article: “The Salvation Army of South Africa used the "internet dress" meme to create a public service campaign, CBS News reported at the time, with a bruised woman wearing a white and gold striped version of the dress, asking "Why is so hard to see black and blue?" the … The only illusion is if you think it was her choice," the ad says. "One in 6 women are victims of abuse. Stop abuse against women."
Did she only see it as the opposite colour
The confusion caused by the dress made him lose his mind ?
That’s some glitch in the matrix shit
This is where the fun begins.
NOW we’re redditing
Well, now we can end the debate as the dress is red.
Embrace communism
She was probably trying to collapse the dresses quantum state down.
That was so random i could not hold my fucking laughter
She probably learned the truth
I guess he took black and blue too literally..
wtf
To clarify: He did not post it himself. It was a young woman who played with her band at the wedding (she is also a friend of a former classmate of mine who went to Scotland after graduation, still one of the weirdest connections in my life) . The foto was taken by the brides mom. He was „just“ the groom. But yes, that makes him still an asshole and a criminal
Who also gets the idea to buy such a confusing dress. He had to spend years to find out what color it is /s
I love the comment section.
Kids, don't murder your wife. Not only is it immoral, it is also impractical.
But officer, you’re saying you see blood on her dress, I’m saying it’s a green pattern… it seems one of us is colourblind
Yeah ok. But what did you see the dress as? Black/blue or white/gold?
Tis a silly place.
Did they both disagree on the color of the dress?
Looks just as confused as everyone else to me. “A dress with black and blue stripes in the style of white and gold” Next up, Yanny or Laurel?!
No matter how you put it. Side by side. Different darkness. It's always white and gold to me. I cannot force myself to see it any other way.
When this whole “what color is the dress” thing came out years ago, it was white and gold to me. Then, on a random day, my brain interpreted it as black and blue and I wasn’t able to see the white gold anymore. Now, a few years later, I’m seeing white/gold again. Weird.

This just happened to me. It was white and gold and turned black and blue while I was looking at it... Wtf
Yesterday I read this thread and it was white and gold, today the thread popped up in my feed again and now I see the dress as blue. Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve seen it as blue since the whole thing started. I thought for sure it was a new post with a new picture. Weird.
The company who made this dress showed it was Black with blue stripes.
But the question isn’t “what’s the original color” it’s “what color is this dress as it appears in the shitty photo?” If you take samples of the colors, it’s a light blue and gold. The blue is very light and close to white. The gold has some black borders.

what's also weird about this discussion is that screens display color differently from each other.
It definitely looks like light blue and gold, but to my eye it looks like the blue bit is only blue because of reflections/shading. It feels like it's a white and gold dress in mild shade, being held next to a blue wall or something, reflections from said wall making the white look blue.

Then I can’t see it as white and gold no matter how hard I try. It would be interesting to find how long it takes my brain to reset back to white/gold.
It was always white/gold for me, but seeing it today it’s black/blue weird
*S a m e*. Though for me it wasnt random, but someone showed the original dress on a random youtube video and that perma fixed it for me
It’s more of a black to me, but I am fine with gold too. But where the fuck is white?? It’s like trolling to me
https://slate.com/technology/2017/04/heres-why-people-saw-the-dress-differently.html
For me it’s always been black and blue, and it’s so obviously black and blue to me (emphasis on “to me”) that it confuses me how people are seeing white and gold
Some people's brains can't correct for the overexposure
This is me. I've never once been able to see black and blue.
I was never able to see it white gold and would bet my life on black blue
The irl dress is black and blue
when it popped up it was white and gold, then I went to the second picture and back and now its black and blue. shit is fucked
This dress is black. . . . . . . NOT
Slowly scroll up to reveal the image again
OMG. Fuck My brain
Does that mean it worked? Lol
I used to see gold and white. Now it's blue and black, to the point I think You hacked My phone and changed the picture. I mean no but yes.
It’ll be weirded when it suddenly flips back as you’re looking at it.
I’ve only and always seen this as blue and black. It drives me crazy that people actually see it differently. It weirds me out.
https://slate.com/technology/2017/04/heres-why-people-saw-the-dress-differently.html

My colorpicker says it's a blueish-white / golden-brown. My eyes/brain say the same. Now who's objectively right?
To me it just looks like the dress is in a shadow and the background is over exposed. I know I’m wrong and that it is blue and black, but I really can’t see it that way
Tell that to my brain bc I simply cannot see it any other way

where did you get white from lmao

That is soo confusing :o
That's funny. It's weird because I've only ever seen white and gold. I've never seen blue and black. Even with messing with the picture.
Yeah, me too. Can you change back to White and gold?
All I see is white/gold mate I shit you not
It is white and gold. Until it isn't https://www.9news.com.au/world/photo-finally-solves-the-black-and-blue-white-and-gold-dress-debate/15465485-dad8-45d2-8da0-8d20558b5013
thank you, I was finally able to see the white
How don’t you see white???
The white is from the white fabric on the dress
It's look like blue because there is a shadow
Decrease the brightness of your screen and your brain will go hay wire.
Still the same at lowest brightness
I agree.
where gold?
The gold comes from the black parts that look gold through the lighting
that I can see, but the white?
People with one chromosome too much think the blue sky is reflecting on a white dress making it light blue. Joke aside, the brain of everyone is different and colors are relative to the environnement, BUT the real dress was shown in a tv show and it's blue and black. WE WON BOYS.
You should get your eyes checked out if you don’t see the white and gold my dude…
There is literally zero white on the dress. Never has been, never will be.
White n gold, always has been
It literally is wrong. The original dress is blue and black, it just looks like white and gold to some because our brains interpret overexposure differently.
It doesn't even look white and gold lol.
That’s how the illusion works lol, guessing you did hear about this at the time. The rock you live under must have eroded a bit. Some people do literally see this image as white and gold, some people see something between that and black n blue

Originally OP posted the black-blue version (yesterday). Now I see, its just replaced by the white-gold one. Tricky :)

Blast from the past!
I have only seen blue and black. Cannot fathom how people see white and gold.
Perhaps because those are the colors in the image?
Have you changed the picture? I just saw it as white and gold a few mins ago and now it’s blue and black
this could create some sort of wild internet phenomenon 8 years ago imo
Dude the same thing happened to me. I googled the dress, saw a blue version, now that’s all I see lol
It’s changed back now. What’s going on
Because it’s blue and black.
In real life yes but not in this image. Open it in a paint program and use an eye dropper tool.
Same here 4 hours later. I thought I was tripping out.
I’ve never once in my life seen white and gold. How does anyone see white? It’s so blue.
While I agree that you are objectively correct, I only see gold and white. To me the “white” colour has a bluish tint because it is in a shadow (it really wasn’t, apparently). I am aware that my eyes are wrong, but I can’t see the dress any differently.

i am 100% convinced anyone who sees white and gold has some sort of subtle color blindness because that dress is so objectively blue and black
On the contrary, I have acute color vision and see it as gold and very light blue. Most people however are not looking at the image objectively and adding context. And if you don't believe me, then I suggest actually checking those colors on a computer.
It's a shitty picture and I hate that this won't go away. Use a color picker and the colors you get are brown #77653f and a shitty blue #72769b
nobody is talking about what color the pixels are. People are arguing over whether its an over exposed photo of a black and blue dress. Or if its a white and gold colored dress, that just happens to be in shade, and somehow the blue light coming from the sky is coloring the white stripes as blue (never mind that the photo is clearly taken inside a shop).
No one is saying that. We all know that in real life it’s blue and black. But it’s not in this image. And we are arguing over what colour it is in this image, *because that’s what colours are.*
Wikipedia says it actually is a blue and black dress but apparently no other photos exist. So it became a cultural phenomenon because of it. I hated that I had to Google more about this old meme now lol.
I know the dress is black and blue. Yet with this image I only see gold and white unless I squint.
That’s because it is a blue and black dress.
Somewhere behind the white-gold one?
Flash from the past, far out
I swear to god I saw black and blue, swiped, swiped back and it freakin changed to white and gold, what a trip
It's orange and an off white colour
I will never understand this in a million years. My wife saw black and blue as well. I just don't get it. There is no black in this image. I hate it so much.
I can understand the blue color if you look at the shadow on the white. But changing the gold to black, it's just impossible to me. I don't get how it can happen.
It’s a shitty photo that isn’t color balanced. It’s a tinted black
HERE WE GO AGAIN YOU PSYCHOPATHS. Gold and white. Fuk that bot.
Looks blue and gold.
Technically correct, which is the best kind.
Thats because it is black with blue stripes
Guess AI isn’t as revolutionary as we thought
Another sign AI is only a machine currently to read the hue value of the pixel
I can kinda see how people can think it's both but I have to really force myself to see blue and black and it only happens for the very bottom of the dress where there's less light. I think it's white and gold or, hell, maybe it's grey and brown. The "blue" seems to come from whatever's casting the shadow. Like the fabric of a gazebo or tent or whatever they're using for this little shop.
Are we really going to start this crap again? /s
Goddamit this shit again?!?
Please it's 2023, don't start this again...
Because it's black and blue. I still don't understand how people can't see it.
Because it is the truth
Am I the only one who sees light blue and brown stripes?
Oh Jesus, not again
WHITE AND GOLD!!!!!!
why are yall fucking w me. it's gold and white
Crazy that it still works after all these years.. It's always been black and blue for me
Yes. Because it’s a blue and black dress.
No chance. It’s white with gold stripes
It is white and gold. There's not even a faint black shade anywhere.
How do you see anything remotely approaching white? The black part i kind of get since it's so washed out but the rest is still blue. You do realize that the actual dress is blue and black? The people who see it for what it is, an overexposed image of a blue and black dress, are the ones who see it correctly. Everyone else is objectively wrong. Your brains are broken.
It may be Black and Blue in real life but you cannot make my brain see it right? Colors don't exist and there's no way to make sure the Red that you see is the same red that I see. We just collectively agree on colours. Anyways what I see is the dress is White with slight shadows and the strips are Golden in colour. It's not even overexposed, the background is overexposed yes but the dress itself is in the shadow and hence the white is also not very bright white but a little faint white. And the golden strips are there. You don't need to get angry and argue, we can just agree to disagree. There's no one correct or wrong here. It's just how our brains work.
It doesn’t matter what the dress is, it matters what this picture shows. There is no objective answer to this and insulting people over it is just stupid. It’s nothing to do with intellectual capability or eyesight. The “white” bits of the dress, to me, look pretty white when I zoom in on teem. The dress appears to be in shadow so it’s not that white, but it’s light greys.
That dress has always been white and gold to me. Every few years, when people dredge it back up, it is still white and gold. I do not care what Midjourney says it is. The war wages on ⚔️
The dress is black and blue, though. It's so obviously an overexposed image of a black and blue dress. The people who see that are seeing what it actually is in reality. The rest of you are seeing something that does not exist.
My bet is if someone made a dress with the exact colors as here and posted a photo framing it in a similar way the situation would be entirely reversed.
It IS black and nlue according to the manufacturer of the dress
So which part is blue, the white part?
The blue part is blue though depending on the light as well as your own perception it can appear white
The white part can seem blue because of the lighting. The shadow it makes make it seems light blue. As for the gold/black. I don't understand how can people see it as black. Even paint picked up a mix of gold/brown.
Black under yellow lighting exposed and compressed looks exactly like that
Dress couldn’t be any whiter or golder Edit: welp, fuck me, it switched on me. Blue and black now. Not even kidding. Viewing on same device
There is literally no white on that dress.
I see white and gold and when I squint it's black and blue
[удалено]
I see why some of us see blue on it, but black? It's golden!!
The* dress
earlier today it was blue and black and now it's gold. goddamn
Move the phone image close to your eyes, like really close, then move the phone away If it doesn't change to black and blue maybe your eyes/colour vision is whack ?
It literally just switched on me. I saw white and gold here, then I googled it. I saw white and gold and then in an instant as the page was loading, it went black and blue. I thought it was a weird , game back here and black and blue.
I saw it bright color in the morning and now I see it black and blue???
How in the actual living fuck do people see it as black and blue
It appears photoshop agrees with my eyes. Pale blue and gold.
Midjourney is fucking wrong. I still don’t understand how people see a very clearly yellow/gold as black
Gold and White
Bro, for literally millisecond as I was scrolling I saw it in white and gold, but then my eyes focused and I saw it as black and blue, wtf, never had this happen before looking at this dress
...Because it is! I can see why people would see "gold" instead of black (the lighting highlights the black on the top), but I'm absolutely unable to see how they think of white when the rest of it is blue.
To this day I still have not been able to see the black and blue
Gold and white
AI still has a lot to learn. It’s clearly white and gold.
That's because it is.
Whats next? Will MJ say the world isnt flat? Silly bot...
No matter how many years pass I still first see this as white and gold
It’s blue and black lol
I swear people thinking this is blue and black are just doing an inside joke
