Put your hand over the bright sunlight part of the photo, then look closely at the dress.
Your visual processing centre is editing in a shadow, because it's making a real world approximation of the image because it's "too bright" to look at, it's just an illusion. Crop out everything but the dress, should see white and blue.

Light (which consists of all the colours of the spectrum (hence rainbows and the like), reflects. It bounces off objects. That's why we wear white to reflect the suns light to keep cooler and that's why black makes us hot, because it absorbs light. (Black in my opinion isn't a colour, or if it is, then it is made up of every colour in the spectrum, because it absorbs those colours and doesn't reflect any.

Using that maxim - of light being reflective and black being absorbent, then surely, in terms of the colours we see objects as (irrespective of the definition of the colour we give it as seen by individuals), then the viewed object must be every other colour than the colour it appears?!

So, if we view a red brick, that object is absorbing every colour of the spectrum, yet reflecting the colour red. Therefore it isn't red. The same would be said of any colour object... it is every colour than the one seen.
Obviously, different materials have the ability to reflect different light, therefore colours, and all other light must be reflected off that object, except where you have a black object, which absorbs ALL light.

>> No.11057740

>>11057733
you're misinterpreting the basis of how humans define what colour an object is. because an object absorbs certain spectrums of electromagnetism, does not mean these other colours become properties of the object, it is merely energy conversion and absorption. when a person defines the colour of an object, they're talking about the colour being reflected, not describing every single colour they can't see as that would be absurd and a waste of time

the artificial light source in the picture is reflecting from the black lace material on the dress, causing it to look lighter than it normally would, rendering it as a gold/brown shade. because of human cognition, we are able to deduce this is a electromagnetic phenomenon, causing the black to look lighter than it normally would in normal lighting conditions (and probably with a better camera). the question is "what colour is the dress?" not "what colour is the dress when it fulfills these particular conditions?" because then the second one you could say "well i ran it through this program and provided me information on the hue, luminosity, gamma and brightness and it told me that it was brown/gold" whereas the first one is just appealing to human perception; "what colour, in reality, is the dress?"

Then you failed to actually see the truth of the picture. There's no external interference. No one is quickly swapping colors of the picture on your computer when you look away. If you had even bothered to check, you'd know the colors in the picture are precisely the hue between the two colors people perceive it to be, and the same person can even see it differently from one moment to the next.
You're one of those rare people who had the entire concept fly right past them and thought people were discussing the RGB in the picture or the real life dress, when they were raising questions about sense perception.
Not only did you fail to see all the colors in the picture, you failed in seeing the entire point of why it went viral.

The question was never "what RGB values are being shown in this image?" it's "What color is the dress?" Given the exposure of the image it's pretty clearly not white, and if the dark areas are gold, they're pretty dark gold.

I've got no idea how people think the dress is white and gold. I ONCE managed to hear "yanny" instead of "laurel", though not sure how and it never happened again, but I understand perception is not equal among all people. Just surprised that the difference could possibly be that great.

Using RGB values of the given image to determine the color of the dress is stupid though.

>> No.11059011

The difference is that there's no other part of the image that looks like it's had a blue filter applied, however the yellowish filter (or whatever term it is for when the light floods in a certain color, I don't photography) is apparently from the background.

you can't see white and gold because it makes no sense and your brain is functional. in the OP pic it's a nonstarter as you can clearly see the lighting in the scene around the dress. it's yellow ("warm"), therefore the blue part is confirmed and the question is only how dark the other hue is. is it "black" or is it more like a "dark gray"? pretty much impossible to say, the camera seems rather shitty as well.

if you take away that context and just zoom in on the dress you can still tell that neither hue could ever be "white". the blue parts are simply way too dark to originally be "white" in any kind of lighting context. blue light strong enough to make "white" look like this could not leave the "gold" part looking like it does. the entire dress would be tinted blue under such intense blue light. this is intuitively obvious to people with healthy eyes and a well developed visual cortex.

holy shit 162 replies for this shitty thread. Let me end it right now. It looks blue and brown, but that's because of the picture itself and it's brightness/saturation. Anyone with an ounce of a brain can actually colour correct it in their head and figure out it's more likely to be blue/black or a similar shade to that, in the same way as your brain colour corrects pic related to look slightly red, even though it's only grey and perhaps some green but no red.

This same thing happened to me back when this was a viral thing. In the first 2 seconds I could "see" it was a white/gold dress, but I was just taking in the dress. After I observed the entire image reality came through, as always, and I knew with no doubt it was blue and black.

What happens is your brain gives you a huge flash of the initial raw visual perception, but then your cortical processes add logical rules as you think about it. While, naturally, you can see there is some lightshow going on, your rational mind is then autonomously filtering the perception into information that makes sense. You know the dress is on a rack in a store, you know it's being lit by white/orange lights, you know how light reflection can make colors appear different. Combining this information with the dress, you just know the dress is blue and black, and the brown/golding of the dark parts is just a reflection of the store lights.

Anyone who ever said it's white and gold are either retarded or shitposters.

This is a statement about what is seen, not what is the underlying reality of the object. If the eye sees the colours of white/gold, knowing the real colours of the dress doesn't stop the eye from seeing white/gold.

Does the reality of there being no black dots in this pic allow you to stop seeing black dots?

because recognizing the "real" behind an image is a better feat of intelligence than filtering out absolute shades, treating the image like abstract art. psychopaths are less likely to be tricked by optical illusions, they are more likely to just see the absolute light and ignore all context, hence why your list is the one for psychopathy.

You're all retarded, except that one post that I can't be bothered to find again.

You decode images based on lighting, assuming there is some objectively real colour that an object is. That's not completely wrong.

Problem here is that the picture is so overilluminated that you can't really tell. Some take the pixel colors at face value, some assume it's viewed in harsh sunlight.

Anyway, the takeaway here is you can't fucking tell. You can make assumptions but don't go and start a god damn religion based on those assumptions.

Without light you can't see shit. Don't trust the light.

Exactly that is the problem. Some see the light as also lighting up the dress, others see it behind the dress. Both are correct, but also both think the other view is retarded.

i see it as white(light silverish-blueish) and gold, but when i set my phones brightness to minimum and look at it from an angle i can see black and blue

I see gold and blue and if I look at the top right corner I instinctively squint because it looks really bright.
But if I squint it looks black and blue.
It's just a really good illusion. Like a magic eye 3d, or moving optical illusions where the dots go white and black.

what the actual fuck. The dress changed colors for me when I came back to this thread the next day. went from white and gold to blue and black. I even remember thinking that it would be impossible to be blue and black

Look, the question of what colour the dress is has been rendered moot by people finding other photo's of the dress, but the question of what the photo looks like has been pointless from the start because you can tell from looking at the photo. So I don't know what you're on about now or what you think is interesting about this if not the optical illusion.

The actual dress is black and blue. It has been tracked down years ago. The manufacturer also stated they never produced a white/gold version.

In fact if you think this is "the whole point" then I can only assume the entire thread is some sort of smug exercise in pretending to be Dali where you go "hurr what colour is this" just so when people say "we already fucking know for a fact that it's black and blue" you can go "ceci n'est pas une robe lel"

The treachery of fucking images indeed

How does sunlight turn black into this color? Doesn't make sense to me. It's just too yellowish.

Ah, so the "black" in the dress isn't really black and those blue and black guys accusing the others of being brainlets because they don't see the dress for what it is actually are brainlets themselves.
