No, what happened is that a bunch of people were shown to be objectively wrong about what color it was, and couldn't let it go.
I'm still convinced this is the biggest troll. It's clearly white and gold
Then you clearly have a brain/eye defect because not only does it look black and blue, but the actual dress in real life is black and blue.
You can literally sample the rgb values and see it's blue and black
Edit: am I part of the joke here??? It's clearly blue and black...

The objective fact is…it is a blue and black dress. Other photos of the same dress show that.
But I cannot, for the life of me, see how anyone can possibly get that from this photo. Sample the RGB values all you want and it clearly is not black in this photo. The exposure and white balance have messed around with it so much it is incomprehensible to me how anyone can see it as blue and black.
"The phenomenon revealed difference in human color perception..."
Yes, you're becoming a part of the joke. People LITERALLY see the dress differently. It doesn't matter what the objective facts are. TBH, it says a lot about humanity. Even when we have evidence that subjective experiences can vary, and even contradict each other, we still end up arguing over whose viewpoint is "correct".
The lighting of the room is clearly yellow. The black stripes look to be a very glossy material, which when lit with yellow light reflects goldish. There's no way that lighting turns a white dress blue.
I've always really liked this explanation image you can find on Wikipedia page for it. Essentially, people who see white and gold are mistaking the lighting to be cold and blue-tinted, rather than warm and yellow-tinted.
The portions inside the boxes are the exact same colors, you can easily check this with a color picker.
Stop trolling me. It's blue and black. I could never figure how people might perceive it otherwise.
Because no one has posted the other photos:
And this is a photo of the same dress taken under proper lighting:
Left: blue and black.
Middle: light blue and black.
Right: dark blue and black.
The dress is blue and black. It will never be white or gold. The lighting or saturation doesn't matter.
Not even the brighter version looks white and gold to me. It's so obviously blue and black, y'all are insane.
Zoom in or sample the colours. They’re not blue and black.
I understand doubting the white but seeing black in that gold was what I could never buy. To me it seemed like light blue-grey with matte gold.
I'm the opposite, the OG photo reads white and gold no matter what edits I see. Even after seeing the dress in proper light the OG is still white and gold.
I’m with you. This viral moment never made sense to me cuz I can never see anything else even with my wildest imagination.
For your information : the dress is really blue and black, according to the store and manufacturer. The vast majority of people see it as white and gold, but I personally think most people are not used to decrypting overexposed pictures, hence their inability to perceive the right colors.
not used to decrypting overexposed pictures
I used to see it black and blue, now I see it white and gold.
+ I do photography and often have to work with overexposed pictures
Edit: just looked at it again now its black and blue. Wtf brain
overexposure is not the issue but improper white balance, the camera was probably set for ~6800K but the lighting in the room was ~2700K
I still don’t see either. It looks blue and gold to me
Don't forget Laurel and Yani!
I like Brainstorm vs Green Needle even better. The're not even the same amount of syllables! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1okD66RmktA
I've only ever seen it as blue and black. I can't force it the other way like I could with Laurel and Yani. Y'all seeing white and gold astound me.
ffs now it looks blue and gold. am i dying?
I remember seeing different colors on different screens, so I think part of the perception difference are the saturation and brightness settings of your screen
I never really understood the debate. In reality, if you were standing in front of the dress it is black and blue. Now, if you take a digital photo of the dress and post it on the internet as a terribly compressed jpg, with weird white balancing, and brightness/contrast turned up and down it is gold and white. The debate isn't really about the reality of the color of the dress but the reality of a badly edited photo.
It kills me that no matter what, it is always white and gold for me, EVEN THOUGH REALITY SAYS OTHERWISE!
the first time ever I see this image, years ago, I could see both white-gold and black-blue. I don't know why I can only see white-gold now.
but assuming the bright light in the back is warm sun light, I think this is why my brain is more accepting that the blue tint is more of a shaded area from the sun, while the base color is white. the yellow-blue contrast
