    Because no one has posted the other photos:

    And this is a photo of the same dress taken under proper lighting:

      You can literally sample the rgb values and see it’s blue and black

      Edit: am I part of the joke here??? It’s clearly blue and black…

        The objective fact is…it is a blue and black dress. Other photos of the same dress show that.

        But I cannot, for the life of me, see how anyone can possibly get that from this photo. Sample the RGB values all you want and it clearly is not black in this photo. The exposure and white balance have messed around with it so much it is incomprehensible to me how anyone can see it as blue and black.

      Then you clearly have a brain/eye defect because not only does it look black and blue, but the actual dress in real life is black and blue.

    It kills me that no matter what, it is always white and gold for me, EVEN THOUGH REALITY SAYS OTHERWISE!

    Never understood this one, or believed anyone who said they saw black/blue. You can zoom in and colour pick, the colours are measurable and objectively gold and blue-white.

      You never understood it because you are wrong. If you actually *color pick you will see that it is blue and black. Not only are you eyes/brain incorrect, but the original dress is actually blue and black.

    Just asked my kids (Not around for the first time). One says blue and black/gray and the other said purple and green/gray. I’ve never known anyone who actually saw it as white and gold. Only heard that people do.
