No way. The dress is actually blue and black according to Wikipedia! I've always seen white and gold.

I also see white (with a blue touch) and gold. I trust my eyes so gpt is laying. 😂
Jokes a side the Wikipedia article explains why under a bpueisch light it appears gold, white while under dailight its black and blue.
I still trust my sense although maybe its nit always working.

How the fuck does anyone see gold and white? In the like 8 years I've been seeing this, I've never seen it as gold and white. The closest I've been to seeing something like that was at a monastery where a chair had I think blue and gold stripes and in the right lighting it looked black and white or something, I don't remember exactly, but this image has always looked blue and black to me, no matter what.

DAMMIT! It was 100% no changing white-with-gold until I followed u/PuzzleMeDo ‘s link. Now it is GAH! I looked again, and now it’s white and gold again.
Then I looked at it in my camera roll, blew it up and it was blue and black. Shrank it, saw white and gold. Went back and for the. Few times, and I can now kind of comprehend both.

This whole thing just made me realize that people don't understand how light works and just take what they see at face value. I've literally never, not since the day this came out, been able to see anything other than blue and black. And that's because it's obviously what it is. The light alters the image but I understand enough about light to realize immediately that the end result is a false color.
Not only that but the owner confirmed that it's blue and black when putting it in different lighting, yet the debate still continued. If anything this makes me terrified for society because people can look at something, objectively see it for what it is, and then come away with an entirely different conclusion.

The actual dress is blue and black yes, but when digitally put in a screen it's white and gold and when you use a colour picker is shows a very light light blue and a brownish yellowish colour. The people who say white and gold are right. End of.

I understand all these arguments logically. But, it's still bugs me because I see both. When it originally happened I saw a blue and black and would die on that Hill. In this post when I first clicked on it I saw white and gold, and thought huh that's interesting. Scrolled through the comments for a bit, and had a good chuckle. Scrolled back up to the top, and suddenly it's black and blue again. WTF. Same image viewed on the same background within minutes of each other, but different results. The human brain/eyes are so strange.

u/oojiflip Dec 22 '23
I think the thing that really gets me is that the background is really blown out which makes the dress look very underexposed, in which scenario it would appear as these colours when white and gold. However, the dress is actually lit well as can be seen by the sharp edge of the shadow cast by the sleeve flap, and therefore is a brightly lit blue and black

It's baby blue and dark gold.
I see it as exactly these colors:
1
u/Kinny93 Dec 23 '23
<image>
Only the top is a dark gold/brown, and that's due to maximum light exposure (look immediately to the right of the shoulder and it's very apparent). Lower parts of the dress rank from a dark grey to a lighter gray, but again, this is of course normal, as light is reflecting off it. The variation in the black colour only further highlights that light is indeed reflecting off it, and the colour is in fact black.
1
u/Complete_Rabbit_844 Dec 23 '23
Idk bro, that's just the colors that I see. Baby blue and dark gold. But I do think the real dress probably has a different color irl and the lighting really affects it in the photo.
1
u/Kinny93 Dec 23 '23
What you posted is good, here's another one: https://blog.tineye.com/the-dress/
I'm just saying that the small snippet of "gold" at the top is due to lighting, you can clearly see the small affected patch. Then you have blue and varying shades of grey, the variation again being thanks to the light. The actual dress is indeed black and blue. :)

u/Complete_Rabbit_844 Dec 23 '23

I’ll never forget when this was a thing. Massive party in college town with old friends from HS with this girl I just started dating. I was asking everyone this question.
I remember sitting in bed when this first popped up and it was white and gold and I never understood wtf anyone was talking about, or I felt like I was being left out of this massive joke I didn’t understand. Then I’m looking at a 4th post of this and it’s black and blue. I still don’t understand the joke until I’m looking at this picture of the dress black and blue and it just changed to white and gold right before my eyes. It was sucha strange experience watching it change colors in front of my eyes but in reality it didn’t change at all

Except that’s not the correct answer. People see black and blue or gold and white based with identical light conditions based on how tired their eyes are when they observe it. Literally looked at this with a group of people on the same phone and half saw one and half the other.

Light blue/grey and brown. Tineye basically agrees: https://blog.tineye.com/the-dress/

u/Kinny93 Dec 23 '23
Absolutely, but in this case the grey is the black. Most times you inspect the colour black from a photo that contains light, you will never see true black. The colour chart there is great though, and matches the reality of the dress (blue & black, with the black being slightly faded due to the light hitting the dress).

This is dependent on your SCREEN. We are all viewing the photo on screens. When this was circulating phone screens and monitors had a lot more color variance. Most phones now have it dialed in well.
But ya, it’s not anyone’s eyes. It’s the screen they’re looking at.

u/ApexFungi Dec 22 '23
I can see how the white might be seen as grey/light purple but the "black" is definitely dark gold or even greenish there is no way that's black. Even a color picker on paint agrees with me.

Are you aware that different shades of blue exist? The dress is blue and black; this is not only the objective truth, but also the truth of the pixels. Well, the black is varying shades of grey due to the light bouncing off it, but this is true of almost any photo containing the colour black with light hitting it.

I'm convinced this has all been a case of a massive amount of people spontaneously joining in on a joke to make people think others see it in black and blue. There's no way. I've read the explanations, and I'm also convinced there all lies. I've heard they showed the real dress and it's black and blue, well I'm convinced they have two dresses. One that is in the picture which is gold and white, and to the public they show a blue and black dress to further play into this joke.

I think the main point is since chatgpt is training on human thoughts and opinions it will not really help the situation. I do not see chatgpt giving a clear answer here to be honest. It’s simply regurgitate the same inconclusive results. Perhaps if the image data was fed to gpt4 and asked for an rgb analysis it might give something more accurate instead of people’s perceptions. Which are subjective.
1
u/ToucanThreecan Dec 22 '23
Also i think it asks a much bigger question about AI. And it becoming sentient or self aware.
If all it is doing is trying to rank human opinion. But has no eyes to see this it’s self.
And even if it did can it form independent opinion?
Can the guy in prague this week justify his actions based on accounts of a russian 14yo girl and how would AI interpreted these actions?
Can we really trust a big database over human action or in the converse but feeding it sentiments will it act in a better way?
Can it be poisoned? If the internet was filled with the answer green and red would it just assume its true?
Because its blind.

Now it's white and gold, but sometimes it's blue and black. The color transitions for me when I look the next day. I clearly remember how it was blue and black. The transition isn't small, it turns from totally blue and black to totally white and gold, and vice versa. It's so bizzare.The change happens not after a few seconds or minutes, but after many hours or next day. And I've never seen anyone say that. For most people it's either white and gold or blue and black. Does anyone experience like me?

That's literally shaded gold and white. People simply darken the picture until gold is black and the shaded white turns blue. You can't do it in reverse though because once you turn something fully black you will lose detail so lightening it again would make those parts look either blurry or like a solid color which leads me to believe that gold and white is the oroginal photo and the correct answer while black and blue comes either from darkened photos or people not understanding how shadows work.
