I can’t do this again…
I know I’m wrong, but it’s just staring at me gold & white. It’s right there, clearly, and I don’t know how to explain it to those who see it the other way.
No brother. You are correct. The blasphemers are wrong
I’m the same, looking straight at it all I can see is white and gold. Like a bright gold even, it’s not even brown.
If I look at it in my peripheral vision it’s very clearly blue and black though 🤷.
I was able to see it blue and black one time, I’m not wasting my time trying to see it again, lol
I can’t really See einher white and gold nor black and blue. It’s more a baby blue and brownish to golden color for me. Can’t really say it’s black or white at all
If I remember from the first time this came around it had a lot to do with how your eyes interpreted the lighting in the image. Try putting it away then looking at it in different light settings and often it allows you to see the other one.
I’ve definitely seen it on numerous devices in various lighting since it became a thing, and it just looks the same to me.
It’s always been white and gold for me
Me too. Everyone else is fucked.
Yanny
I see Laurel
BRAINSTORM!
The colour picker continues to tell me that it is a light shade of blue, near white, and a medium shade of brown, similar to gold.
Relevant recent news article…
Is it a crime story or a story about the dress? I can’t really tell. Like I think it’s about domestic violence, but then I read another paragraph and then all I can see is about the dress, and then it changes back again.
Fun Fact: The same day, February 26, 2015, the Interwebz blew the fuck up about this goddamn dress, some Llamas escaped from captivity and we were all equally captivated by their chase for hours, it was an amazing 24 hours online
I see blue and gold.
Only ever been blue and gold for me.
https://imagecolorpicker.com/en for those seeing white and gold. Also the screen you’re looking at it on matters so much.
Edit: I did find a neat bug with DarkReader on though. It reads the white pixels as black with the magnifier on the right. Even turning off it’s still pretty blue and white… Apparently it actually pulls the color judging by what your screen shows though… which is pretty neat all considering.

So I tried this and even https://colors.artyclick.com/color-name-finder/ but it will find only brown/gold and light blue/blue/white depends where you focus it on. This image itself contains no black pixels simple as it is.
See I get nothing but blue and gold… Which is the entire crux of the illusion lol. Your brain just makes up for the color shift due to previous images it’s seen with washed out saturation due to ISO.
White and gold
No. Blue and Gold.
I am no longer able to see the white and gold glory :(
Not this shit again!
Logically I realize the “white” is bluish-gray, especially if I stretch it out to the edges of my phone so I’m not influenced by the backlighting in the photo. But I held it up next to my black cat and the “black” isn’t even close. At most it’s brown, which is what gold looks like in shadow. Compare it to your background if you’re on night mode, or your text if not. No black there.
Black garments aren’t ever perfectly black, vanta black is as close as it gets, but depending on the lighting “black” materials will absolutely reflect some light. The dress is actually blue and black and the reason people see it differently is to do with how our brains try to colour correct for lighting conditions.
So are you saying it’s being hit with a strong yellow light? Why then is the black and white thing on the far left still showing as black?
It’s on a clothes rack, it’s more obscured from the light source than the dress which is being held up for the photo. See the top right of the picture? Real bright yellow.
Bottom right of the picture? White or off-white surface, I can’t quite tell if its carpet or not.
This picture was taken in the afternoon facing a window in the direction of the setting sun.
If you’re seeing white and gold your brain is assuming a cold blue light like morning or fluorescent lighting and skewing the colours.
I see black and blue with a yellow over wash because of lighting.
To see white and gold in shadow, I have to remove all context prompts, like strip out the background and all lighting artifacts.
I just can’t see the white and gold in context. Too many years of colour correcting photos.
I can’t see white and gold no matter what, I am ever-so-slightly color blind (supposedly) so maybe that’s part of it?
This dress is now connected to a murder attempt. Don’t believe me? Here you go.
