Fivedollargold wonders if the person who started this FB craze found a way to monetize it. And of course Fivedollargold sees GOLD and white.

Ugly maybe, I wasn't overwhelmed with the design..

AHA! Even Gulcher's have the same issue. It is really an amazing little issue that people see it differently, like I said, it is most definitely, to me, white and gold and there is no way there is any black or blue in it. But the black and blue people will feel the same. The point of this beyond the color issue is, what does this say when our group is seeing the same exact thing differently, and how does that get expressed in other issues? Unless we have 2 versions of the MK1 eyeball, there is some other effect here at work. But it effectively illustrates how a group of people, given a single fact or situation, can see it in a diametrically opposed fashion, both feeling they are right, and honestly believe that they are correct. Something to consider.

Blue with Black stripes - not even a question, unless your monitor is out of adjustment.

I don't get it - maybe a new type of color-blindness??

Agreed. :-)

Agreed. I was completely surprised when I saw it was on the NEWS! Really!??

I wonder if there could be a DNA effect going on here? In Malaysia, I was introduced to a fruit called Durian. It seems that humans are divided into those who find the odor sweet or non-existent, and those who find the odor offensive. The dress is clearly black and blue.

what disturbs me is that I cared to weigh in on this. and that it became such a wildfire social media sensation. everyone is shutting down I think. I do not want to tune out

yea, if anything it seems pale blue and bronze but not black even in the untouched photo-that's not black to me

I saw the actual dress without the background, bright sunlight etc. It looks NOTHING like the photo. Only the design looks the same. 😜

This has run along mostly gender lines btw. My cousin did a quick check on her fb page, and men overwhelmingly said blue/black, women overwhelmingly said gold/white. Crazy! And am an interior designer by profession! I HAVE to be able to discern subtleties in colors. And I'm an artist by my true profession, so also have a pretty good grasp about what color I see.

Ugly in either photo..

Surprise! It’s a dark blue dress.

It is blue and black. The trick is to focus on the dress and not allow the background scenery with yellows filter into your line of vision.

ETA: Finally! Now I understand why clothes seem to look a different color on at the store. It’s more than just bad or different lighting. It’s how I look at the clothing within that lighting.

Blue and black. Definitely.

White and gold.

White and gold was the answer I gave my daughter last night. She exclaimed, "What?! It's blue and black!" I said maybe pale blue, but I see zero black.
