The point isn't what color the dress is, it's that when looking at the SAME photo, sometimes even at the same time on the same monitor or phone or other device screen, people perceive the colors differently. That's the fascinating part, not what color the dress actually is or comparing *different* photographs. The other photos are interesting simply in terms of confirming the actual colors of the dress, but they don't answer how people could perceive it differently when looking at that original photo.
The jacket it's against is white. The strips match this, which makes you think "Hey, it's white!" But it's NOT white and gold, and all I see is white and gold. I went on photoshop and color picked - in that image, it does have shades of blue/white and gold/puke greenish colors. It's all because THAT PHOTO makes it look gold and white, and no one said "Let me take a picture in better lighting." When I saw a real, good picture of it, sure enough it was black and blue.
This is just a dumb lighting trick that stirred up a frenzy for an ugly ass dress. I think it's a bit stupid that the people didn't take it down and put up a better picture. In that picture it's clearly white/gold only because of the lighting. Color picking will show you this. It's just a stupid topic all together and I hate how they used social media to make a "buzz" about their ugly ass dress and used the unsuspecting sheeple to carry on their message.
I looked at that thing several times and swore up and down it was white and gold. Clicked away from the tab
I got up to do something, sat back down at a different angle, clicked the tab again and Holy Crap, it's black and blue.
My mind is blown.
