So, what colour is it?

There's an interesting reason I'm asking. And no I'm not pre-op.

Looks blue and brown but bad lighting is bad. Reckon white and gold in proper light.

Not sure why I've seen that pic before. Last time I saw it, it looked whiter and overexposed.

Blue and dark gold.

Is it some internet thing, nobody can agree on the colour?

The last time a blue dress caused this much chaos...






Blue and black, but depending on the lighting conditions and how your eyes and brain are wired up, can look white and gold.


Saw an article this morning with some sciencey words and stuff and a bit of visual examples of how it can look both based on context.


Its a bit like a mind illusion I guess, if your brain takes away the blue as the light source not the reflection then it makes it white

I saw this on my phone and it looked gold and white. Now on a PC it looks brown and blue. Maybe what you're viewing it on also has an effect?

Well this is awkward. This morning it looked blue and black.

Went for lunch downstairs in the canteen, saw this on TV and now it looks white and gold to me. I can't see it the other way again.

Laughing

look at something dark this look at it, look at something bright then look at it.

White and gold for sure. I'm looking at it on my phone though if that makes a difference.

Looks brown and blue to me. Or is it lilac? or cornflower?
In the real world it's probably blue and black, in my pc world it's lilac/blue and brown

At first it was white and gold, I looked at a news article about it, scrolled down, then scrolled back up again after looking at it being worn and it appeared as blue/brown?

Doesn't matter, as long as the sandwich arrives on time and the washing up is done.

Image has embedded, non-standard colour profile off facebook. Not the RGB profile everywhere else on the internet uses.

Just saying.

To me it look's like an egg shell white, and bronze. It's not a true solid colour. So you can't say it's either red white blue green. Or any other true colour.

Changed four times today now for me, the only things that have changed are the lighting condition, because it was the same photo on the same mates Facebook that I saw, so it wasn't to do with different levels of contrast/lighting of the photo.

My mind doesn't like this.
