No. Blue and Gold.

So about an hour ago I was showing this to my wife, we both saw white and gold and thought this is silly. But now somehow I am seeing blue and black and she is still seeing white and gold. Fuck me.

I see the defendant guilty of attempted murder and considering the severity of the crime I hereby sentence the defendant to 15 years in prison.

It's a black and blue dress that looks white and gold in washed out sunlight.

It turns out that some materials play with light in ways that seem unexpected, and our rigid definitions of color don't always fit well around them.

For half a second when I was scrolling I saw white and gold, but now it's blue and black. I can't flip it again.

I’ve seen this both ways in the past but something cool is happening right now.

First I saw white and gold when this scrolled up into my feed.

Now that I’m in the thread (in a client that has Dark Mode), if I spend a few seconds reading comments and then scroll UP to the picture, it looks blue & black for a second and then that FADES into white and gold.

How blue and black can fade into white and gold I can’t explain but it’s happening right in front of my eyes.

Same here. I was looking at this like an hour ago and it was blue/black, now I saw this post again and it's white/gold...

Same device, no matter if I change screen brightness or ambient lighting in the room

I'm not religious, but I'm gonna call priest

Still white and gold even after all these years, though I did see blue and black once, but that was with the corner of my eye then.

Just depends on what lighting your brain perceives it. I see it as black and blue so clearly in the thumbnail.

When opening up the full image, it's white-and-gole. Light properties and additive/subtractive colors be wilding.

I've never seen black, only gold and white or gold and blue

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It always depends on the saturation of the image. When it's fucked up and darkened, it appears blue and black. When lightened, it shows the true white and gold.

It's still amazing to me how much this screws with people. That not everyone experiences things the same way shouldn't be a hard concept.

[-] phi1997@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

You know what? Blue and gold.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not again. This dress messed up my whole world view.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

White and gold today.

[-] halfempty@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I see brownish gold and bluish white. I can never make the gold entirely black nor the white entirely blue.
