nonononono...NO!

It's been ****ing debunked, stop it. the Dress is Black and Blue, it's been confirmed by the makers of the dress themselves.

It's a fake, the picture is from a bad camera, altered and messes with peoples resolution on their computer screen.

It's black and blue, finito finale.

It really is blue and black. I originally only saw it in white and gold. Then it just changed.

Sometimes I still see it as white and gold, then look at it again and it's blue and black.

Strange I kinda saw it as white and gold at first then when I looked up at it again it was blue and black.

This thing? Darn it, been over this on Facebook yesterday. White and gold. :lol:

I can see where people might get a blue tint, but I've still no clue how people are seeing black. lol o.O

Even after messing with it in Photoshop and making it look whiter so that the original looked a bit blue to me... the gold has remained gold.

Candy Kappa
02-27-2015, 12:47 PM
I too saw white and gold at first when I saw it on my desktop. But on my ipad it was very light blue and dark brownish black.

It's due to the bad picture quality, and the more you look at the picture the more adjusted the eyes would be, and you see it more akin to it's original colors. It's been all over facebook and Tumblr.

Misread your post. Sorry.

aaw, I was hoping there was someone that had claimed it was a fake, like someone thinks the whole picture was photoshopped :lol:

I'm going with Candy Kappa on this, and whoever took the first picture seriously needs to check that light exposure level on their camera, or just get a new camera altogether.

I'll just copy my Facebook post.

The whole problem with the dress is people are arguing the POSSIBILITY of what it could be IF the light were different, IF it were heavily saturated, IF it's been manipulated ect etc etc. The possibilities are endless and it COULD well be White and Gold OR Blue and Black, hell if someone were clever enough it COULD even be rainbow...I mean really clever. But that's not what it IS in the ACTUAL PHOTO only which IS simply Blue and Brown. We are not in front of the REAL dress so we will never know. We can only judge by the image in front of us NOW which in it's most basic form IS Blue and Brown.

That's how I see it anyway. Now back to waiting for the next Nick episode...

Uh no...I'm judging ONE photo Only from what IS in it. Not 2. That COULD very well be the Actual dress but it is NOT the photo in question. Like I said before I'm not speculating possibility but merely looking at what's in front of me.

The whole thing to me seems to be about NOT colour but simply seeing what's in front of you and not What it COULD be.

Anyway, the ACTUAL dress could be Black and Blue, White and Gold but it's Brown and Blue to me from the photo I'm looking at and I'm not the only one who thinks so. Google the dress is Brown and Blue and you'll see.

How this 'broke' the internet I'll never know. I'm not an armchair expert on eyes and whatnot I'm simply saying what I see. Now, it's time to well and truly let it go.

I have no idea what you just said or what any of it means. I posted a different picture of the dress where its true colour is being shown. What more do you want? It's black and blue, confirmed.

If it's THAT dark of a blue... then wtf with that camera of the person who took the original photo. Making black look gold even... have they dropped it ten times or something?

CNN has a story on it, And they said the Dress's owner says the color is actually Royal Blue, Lighting can play all sorts of tricks.

The question 'what colour is this dress?' is vague which can go 2 ways.

1) What colour IS the ACTUAL Dress?

OR

2) What colour IS the dress in THIS PHOTO?

Both have DIFFERENT Answers.

I can't answer 1) because I'm not 'Physically In Front' of the dress so I guess we all have to take the owners word based on OTHER Sources.

But I can answer 2) It's Blue and Brown from the colours I see from that 'Image Only'.

Anyhoo, Now that it's been debunked, I think the real questions are what the hell is wrong with this person's camera? Now that this dress is Viral how much money it will make? And have we all been played in a huge marketing ploy ;)

This. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. The color you read the dress as being has to do with how weak or strong the cones and rods in your eyes are - why is this blowing people's minds so much?

I'm all for frivolous conversation but jeez. I don't get why people find this interesting - it's ridiculous that this thing has become viral.

I never understood what the fuss for this was. I see a blue and black dress while others see white and gold. It all has to do with our brains and how we perceive things. Frankly, I could care less about any of it. I don't care about clothes anyway, and I sure as hell wouldn't be caught dead wearing something as hideous as that.
