Description

I have a feeling this will gain “OP is a duck” and “OP is trying to start shut” soon. XD  
But this screencap reminded me so much of the internet! Totally divided on the dress!  
(I’m for white and gold, BTW)

They found the dress on the news last night it’s black and blue.  
I saw gold and silver my brother saw brown and blue.

Due to how out of control this has gotten, I have only one thing to say to the Dazzlings…

Me too! It’s a bit fascinating.
 
You hit upon some things I was thinking, too. As an artist, I was thinking “white and gold” because it looked heavily shaded in an outdoor market, the clue being that it had a really bright light behind it. Outdoor shading often casts a bit of bluish shade on things. Since I perceived it as being shaded, it looks white, not the deep blue of the actual dress.
 
The gold/brownish colors just confuse me. It’s very hard for my mind to interpret as anything but gold/vaguely brown, because I’ve seen how black actually works in various lighting.
 
It’s fascinating, because I think if people had more context in the picture (the background, lighting), it would be easier to determine if something was wrong with the picture, I think. It’s fascinating how an incorrect white/color balance can throw off the whole picture.

@AaronMk  
Yep! The one my sister found actually went into it in even greater detail. (Sorry I can’t seem to locate the particular link at the moment)
 
The one she she found even said that what you THINK you should be seeing can affect the precived colors. If you think you are looking at a picture with bad indoor lighting you are more likely to see blue and black as indoor lighting is normally cooler, but if you think this might be outdoor lighting which tends to be harsher you are more likely to perceive gold and white. My sister and I found this particularly fascinating since as it turned out her immediate perception had been that it was indoors and mine had been something along the lines of an open market.
 
So for you it might also be relevant to consider what sort of environments any designs you come up with might be presented to potential customers in lest they not perceive the designs as you intended.
 
 
And to me the human behavior aspect is also interesting on a philosophical type level, those who immediately see it as gold and white and then instantly just shut their ears to the “black and blues” will have sealed themselves into a falsehood or at least made it more awkward to correct themselves as well as done damage to there reputations. But any who see black and blue and immediately start just berating the “white and golds” will quite likely do nothing more then alienate them quite possibly chasing them even further from the truth.
 
If this can be said of just a dress in a picture how much more things of even greater importance?

This is one of those cases where I’ve seen a bunch of people complaining about arguments about the dress, and not one actual argument about the dress (but plenty of discussion about the interesting phenomenon it’s revealing).

I guess my sister and I would be off to a side taking notes and junk somehow unaffected by the spell. (arrived just late enough to miss the casting?)
 
She sees blue and black and I see white and gold but neither of us really care worth a darn about the dress. We are HOWEVER both very fascinated by the fact that the others perception of the dress is so different since we know neither one of us has anything like a relevant vision problem and are not trying to bullshit the other. We are both nerds with interests in biology and general sciences to us this is most intriguing.

i guess the dazzlings represent the few sane people who don’t care about the colour of a dress
