Not this crap again. It depends on your screens lighting but it is blue and black

I know it's actually blue and black. But that effect only existed for that specific picture, because of the specific lighting. This isn't the original, and I also used a different screen to view it. I still see blue and gold.
just look at the HSL profile of a blue pixel. Surprise, it's blue.
I've been looking at this photo for like 10 years and even though I know for a fact that it's blue and black I only ever see white and gold
Same for me, across dozens of screens and different apartments and at school and... I don't think it's just the lighting
The Lemmy picture is blue/black for me while Wikipedia is white/gold. Is it the same picture? Or is because Lemmy fully supports dark mode while my browser doesn't?
Do NOT make this a thing again!!!!
It was a Gold & White dress vs. Black & Blue dress.
Gold & Blue wasn't part of the meme.
This is the first time I've ever seen it blue and black
stop it
In the original picture I could only ever see white & gold, but in this photo you post I can see either way.
We've already been through this, we don't need it again. I've seen both from the same file, silly rage-bait optical illusion.
