My sister and her boyfriend are currently having a very loud argument about this loving thing.

the fact that anyone actually cares enough about a poo poo picture of a dress to actually get upset about it is hilarious

My favorite bit about this is that it's an amazing example of a legitimately viral internet meme. There was no public event around it, no branding behind it, it's not sponsored, it's just some lady posted a dress she liked on the internet. Then someone said something like "nice blue-black/white-gold dress" and someone else said it was the opposite. Que a chain of people sharing it trying to see what their friends think. This poo poo blew up so drat fast too. Also no one at my job is getting anything done because everyone's just arguing about it and using various programs to justify their position. (BTW: Team BLUE/BLACK for life!)

Tweak the brightness/contrast in any old image editor and you get colours much closer to the original. I only saw it as white/gold earlier, but I'm sitting in a darker room now and the "white" appears a much deeper blue and the "gold" is closer to black. It's all to do with how your brain interprets the colour information (which is there, as you can see in the image above) depending on the ambient light levels and colour temperature. Or something.

It's a wonderful example of how our perception shapes our Reality. It's also a wonderful example of Self-Awareness. *FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART*

My favorite part is the first several posts are people talking about how they don't care. I think the whole thing's a super cool look into the brain's internal white balancing abilities. It's really rad how our brains can change our perception without us even registering it. I wonder how many things there are like this without us realizing.

I hate everyone who poo poo'd this like some pouty internet hipster. If you're too cool for it then make snarky parodies instead of making sure everyone knows how much of a whiny emo baby you are. Edit: My favorite post about it, from a friend who became a high school teacher quote:Five minutes into class, someone utters the word "dress," and all hell breaks loose. I'm waving my arms, shouting. Total chaos. Complete anarchy. It takes the threat of a quiz in order to regain a semblance of command of the classroom.

Main reason it annoyed me was because people on FB are yammering about this and seem to care about it way goddamn more than ISIS destroying ancient Babylonian artifacts or beheading 21 Egyptian Christians or the government telling telecoms to gently caress themselves. So it's not all Internet hipsterism

I don't want to talk about book burning that literally nobody is surprised about. Who would have guessed that a violent military force fiercely driven by ideology would ever burn books. I do want to talk about why I'm right, how my Facebook friends are literally subhuman, and how I can thank this dress photo for finally revealing that. Sincerely, Everyone still posting about the dress.

coleman francis posted:can someone please explain what the heck is going on Lady took the shittiest picture in the world of a blue dress with black lace. The picture is so unbelievably garbage, some people's brains invent a explanation for why it looks so lovely, and in doing so unconsciously white-balances and color-corrects the image to fit that explanation, resulting in the viewer believing it is a picture of a white dress with gold lace. With some mental effort, the viewer could correct their brain's initial color-correction and like magic (or more precisely, like the optical illusion it is) see the dress for what it is: black, blue, and hideously unflattering. edit: because she posted it on the internet, people also have to fight about it a lot Rat Patrol has a new favorite as of 22:41 on Feb 27, 2015 |

I'm kind of curious to know the age ranges of the people whose brains do and don't take the image at face value. It may make no difference at all, but I kind of wonder if people who grew up familiar with, say, polaroids, whose brains are accustomed to, or at the very least somewhat experienced with, compensating for lovely exposure or faded photos, might be the ones seeing the white/gold initially, and those who are used to most photos they take being generally correct are the ones who take it at face value as blue/black.

I don't think anybody thinks that the talking point is the dress. Some people don't find the topic of unconscious light balancing interesting, which is fine. Some of those people just move on without posting anything, some just ask "hey can we stop talking about that dress", and others go full mode with "Who cares it's a lovely dress anyway".

My understanding is that if your brain assumes it's in a shadow that has some (possibly fluorescent) blue light, it corrects that and makes you think it's white. On the other hand, if your brain assumes (correctly) that there is an overabundance of yellow/orange light, it corrects that and makes you think it's blue. It could possibly be an indicator of what kind of light (esp color temperature) you interact with more on a regular basis. Ruzihm has a new favorite as of 22:47 on Feb 27, 2015 |

At face value it's blue/gold, I have no idea how people are managing to get "black." I mean, I can tell it's a phenomenally lovely and overexposed photo and intellectually I can understand how it started out as black, but it's definitely not black at all in the finished picture (as opposed to the rest of the dress, which is definitely still blue and just gets reinterpreted as white.) Like, observe these two very obviously black rectangles: and this Two of a kind, right?

Different screens and browsers can display pictures very differently. That could account for variations in perception as much as much as anything else. edit: for me if I focus on the white/blue I can make my eyes see it as blue black, and if I focus on the gold/black, I can see gold and white. It's really interesting because it's so on the edge I can shift how my eye perceives it easily now, but it took a bit of staring. powderific has a new favorite as of 22:57 on Feb 27, 2015 |

Yeah, as a blueblack4lyfer, I totally agree that the pixels of the trim are not black. In fact, my very first impression of the dress was that it was blue & black/dark-brown.
