I'll wait till Bill Clinton has left his gentleman's wad on the dress, and then decide.

When I looked at it it this afternoon in daylight it definitely looked white and gold.
Now I am looking at it on the same screen but under artificial light it looks blue and black.  |

I was wondering about that myself Gin, everything always looks the same shade to us but if you use a digital camera and have the white balance wrong, everything is messed up, so your eyes adjust.
I'm going to look at the pic again tommorow in good daylight. |

Gold and white. But the background is very bright. Suspect if they dulled the background I'd see the other pair. All colours are the invention of our neurons - they don't exist outside of our brains. Like many of you.

Can anyone explain how/why this dress is dominating todays media?

yesterday I looked at half a dozen pics of this and every time I saw blue and black, like Inter Milan top, clear as day.
This morning I see gold and white. WTF. Are they switching the photos? |

By:

maybe for a split secound, the flash on the camera distored the colours for the non-colour blind.

I think its the auto white balance of your eyes.
The room is lit with daylight at the moment and I remembered and looked at the picture, and I'm sure it was gold/white. I was shocked and I looked out the window into bright light for a few sceonds having a think about it, looked back, and it's blue/black again. FFS. I'm part mutant, this may spoil my weekend  |

The colours on the right (in the red rectangle) are not "inter milan" colours, neither are they gold and white like the pope might wear. So both are being interpreted by the brain in unusual way
http://i58.tinypic.com/2gwgpon.jpg That would be same for everyone in all conditions, this changes from person to person and during the day. |

Immiediately before looking at it I'd been lookng at a dark screen which maybe makes your eyes more readily see white, and literally a few seconds of daylight has reset my white balance to the correct setting.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/catesish/help-am-i-going-insane-its-definitely-blue So let's settle this: what colours are this dress? 69% White and Gold 2.2M votes 31% Blue and Black 988.5K votes reckon a lot of worlds problems would be sorted if we just killed the "blue and black" people, maybe it could be ukip campaign pledge |

There's a hidden agenda here. The Govt are weeding out the Blue and Blacks.

But it IS black and blue. Your eyes do do lots of wacky things though don't they, like those things where you stare at something for a while and then look at a wall and the wall appears to be pulsating and alive.
I used to be able to do those magic eye things where you sore of stare at a pattern without focusing and an image sort of suddenly appears, some people couldn't do them. Gold and white people in particular I'm sure would struggle, with their sub standard eyesight   . |

I looked at it on someone's phone and saw as white and gold, the two people I was with both saw blue and black all of us looking at the same image at the same time.

Still seeing gold and white on that photo. But yesterday saw blue and black.
conclusion : I'm looking at different photos. |
|
By:
I had a proper look at home yesterday but still saw blue and gold.
Makes no difference in the mirror by the way. |

By:
Just seen this on Gogglebox.
To me, the dress is light blue and brown. |

so, my seeing eye dog says grey and dark grey, and he looks at stuff for a living
so, end of. |

It's a bit of a myth that dogs are completely colour blind, they do see colours, just not as well.
So they are at about the level of the white/gold seeing deviants we've discovered walk quietly amongst us  |
