Yes, to me the dress looks gold and white. Granted, we're looking at a side of the dress which is in shade (thus there's a tint). But, in my mind, the dress is clearly white and gold.
My wife, on the other hand, first saw it as blue and black. Later it seemed to change for her.
- mod 12y agoThat's strange, the 20-or-so people I've read that had it changed all had it change in the other direction--white & gold first, then blue & black later. FWIW I read that the real dress, as observed in person, is blue & black. EDIT: Girlfriend reverted. If nothing else, this is good for a giggle.
- peteretep 12y agoHere's the real dress, from the supplier's image of it: http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/2015-02/26/22/enhanced/webdr02/enhanced-1984-1425006448-3.jpg http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/2015-02/26/22/enhanced/webdr...
- mod 12y agoI think this is supposed to be another picture of the actual, specific dress in question: http://media.tumblr.com/ec387ec0bb03230268a9e905d74097d9/tumblr_inline_nkeezsjAuH1svicb3.jpg http://media.tumblr.com/ec387ec0bb03230268a9e905d74097d9/tum...
- jacobolus 12y agoThe only way you’d get a “tint” like this on a white dress in the shade, indoors, in a room with yellowish lighting (look at the background) is if you shone a bright blue spotlight at it.
- koliber 12y agoIn real life, you are right. However, this picture was taken with a camera, which did some auto white balancing internally. Perhaps the camera chose to use the yellow background as the reference for white-balancing, causing the less "white" dress a bluish tint. You cannot just consider the natural image here. I am sure that if we got everyone to examine the dress in real life, there would be a lot less confusion. I bet a good part of the confusion is caused by faulty in-camera white balancing.
