I got sent a picture of "that dress" this morning via Facebook chat & the photo was sent via a mobile phone. To me, it looked Black & Blue, but on seeing it on this report... That Dress ...I see it as Blue & Gold. How do others see it? |

Either very light blue or white and gold. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

Gold on white. According to anthropologists, ability to see colors is sex-linked, in both humans and -- at least -- new-world monkeys. That is to say, the women/females can perceive more colors than men/males. If you don't believe it, try finding something in the refrigerator, when the XYL spots you looking -- with the door open -- for too long. She then assists, and, voila'. |

Many people have undiagnosed partial colour blindness. So is that why you did not state what colours you saw? |

I see blue and black. Facts. The actual dress is blue and black. The color differences for this dress are unique to this picture and are related to how one's brain interprets the (terrible) lighting in the picture. Most people will see white and gold. A few people will seize upon the pixels of the image and see red, orange, or a few other colors. Anyone who is able to throw out the bad light information will see the correct colors of blue and black. Sorry to ruin the Internet's collective argument. :/ |

Sorry to ruin the Internet's collective argument. :/ 5 out of 8 for what was meant as a fun thread in the "so-called" fun section of these boards, expected more to see the funny side... ...especially as the report mentioned: - "The dress is a classical optical illusion, and that's why people love it." Ah well, C'est La Vie. |

Sorry to ruin the Internet's collective argument. :/ By all means, have fun! :-) We talked about this at work for the first two hours of the day, and I plan on taking it home to show Michele, and eventually her sister and brother-in-law. |

As a follow-up, I prefer to see a woman in a dress, any day -- allowing for the occasion, of course. Would certainly appreciate viewing that, when worn by a young lady. . . Julie?!!! (This is, also, directed to all the other Setizen young ladies, but I'll start with the letter, B, as in Belgium.) |

I would think the one's ruining the fun are the ones telling others they're elitist. That's OK Sten, we all know you're the grumpy old Swede. |
