By now most of you have seen pics of the dress that appears to be completely different colors depending on the unique structure of your eyes. Most see it as either blue and black or white and gold. Others see it as completely different colors. I showed 16 people are work and I got 5 different combos of responses LOL
What colors do *YOU* see ? I see dark blue and black.
I don't see how anyone can see Black and Blue. I see white and gold. And taking it into photoshop, those are the colors in the photo...
#7c88b8 -- white / light blue
#5a4a3d -- gold / brown
Blue and Black (more light purple and brown depending which pic I look at)
Here is an explanation for it and the answer (Spoiler: It's Blue and Black) ;)

"At least we can all agree on one thing: The people who see the dress as white are utterly, completely wrong." lol
The girl who posted it explains and shows a better picture of the dress.
Bridesmaid wearing the dress next to the bride:
What's funny is when people look at it and move there monitors up and down at different angles so that it in effect becomes lighter and darker as they move it, some people see black and blue for the darker moments and then as they move their monitors to the lighter view it becomes white and gold. My wife when she views it *always* sees white and gold, albeit darker and lighter shades of both colors as the monitor moves. I on the other hand *always* see black and blue but different shades of those as the monitor moves. The real life dress is blue and black, but the lighting in the pic is so odd that it can be perceived as different colors depending on your eye structure and health and it's interesting about what Wellspring said about how photoshop perceived the colors.
Edit: On a side not I was reading a couple days ago how the color blue may have not existed (perceived) until more modern times. There are tribes in Africa that even today still cannot see blue but can see shades of green most people cannot.
Yeah it's pretty crazy, I love stuff like this though, I'm big on science and finding out why things like this appear as they do etc. I find it really interesting but I have always seen it in softer/darker shades of Blue and Black too except for one photo which was altered and it looked white and gold..but was a photoshop lol.

The question isn't what color is the original color of the Dress. It is, what color is it in the photo.
Color software can easily determine there is no blue or black in that photo.
Software already has determined there is blue in it mate, check out the link I posted and read through it.
