When I opened the original pic up in mspaint to try to invert it I also did color sampling. There was black that was not a very dark black and blue. There was no white or gold anywhere in that dress according to mspaint.

If what you say is true, this just makes it more confusing.

I only sampled the pic that looked brighter to me, so there are at least 2 floating around. Even that one said the "white" was a light blue, but the gold was, at darkest, a light brown.

Here comes the science.

That's a good article with pictures of it in different scales, and they show the Photoshop stuff Gordo did.

I still see light blue/brownish gold on the original picture.

xkcd

Still can only see blue and black here.

Ah! When I opened this link there was a momentary flash where my brain said white and gold. But then it instantly said, no, that's wrong, it's just because of the blue colored images on either side that you saw that, it is clearly blue and black. EDIT: The image attached to the article has been changed, so the above does not apply to the image now shown there.

At least now I can understand where it comes from, though ... sort of. I still can't imagine how you would see it that way unless it was surrounded by tons of dark blue.

The thing is, in the pictures at the top where it says "white-balanced as if the dress is white-gold" I still only can see what looks like a badly desaturated and brightened picture of a dress that is clearly blue and black.

This article has 3 pics of the dress, and each one looks different colors to me, so obvious photo manip has been done, somewhere. I was color sampling the white/gold one, but I can also see the black/blue in the other pic and I am sure color sampling would have seen black/blue in that one.

Still weird that 2 people together would look at the same pic and see different colors though.

You didn't read the article. They did manipulate the photos to show what others were seeing and why.

I was seeing 2 different versions yesterday, though, just not the blatant blue and black.

This was my experience as well. But then again I mess with light saturated pictures from my trail cams all the time when the sun's pointing into them the wrong way and have kind of learned to recognize that and filter it out.

Do you do a lot of photography? Or some measure of photography other than stuff you've pulled off the Internet?

Wife: "I just saw a picture with really poor white balance and lighting"

She's a photographer.

Nope. But I did watch a lot of scrambled porn when I was young. Maybe that helped.
