So people looking at this photograph actually can perceive this to be white and gold? thats utterly wild. And hard to believe.
I still only see white/gold even though the actual dress was black/blue
I can never see black and blue. I assume all those who claim to see black and blue are bots. fite me
Ok is this post some sort of trick? I opened up lemmy, saw it white and gold for the first time in my life, then I took a shower, now it is blue and black once more.
I found this image to be a really good way to distill the issue down into the two different modes or perception:

It appears white/gold to me on it’s own, I’ve never been able to see anything different.
Grabbing this specific image and sampling the colours though; they appear more of a grey/brown colour. I can sorta maybe understand blue, but definitely not black.
This is just using Polish photo editor on android:
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’ve never seen it at white and gold. Even the brightened photo, while I understand what’s happening to make people see white and gold, is still blueish/purple and black to me. Does that mean I have a tumor?
So closed minded smh
Hey, I have friends who are white and gold… I’ve worked with white and golds.
It’s subconscious it’s not something you can learn. If that were the case people would have no issue understanding how others weren’t ‘decrypting’ the photo.
Also the majority see it as blue and black. 30% as white and gold.
The Journal of Vision, a scientific journal about vision research, announced in March 2015 that a special issue about the dress would be published with the title A Dress Rehearsal for Vision Science.
The first large-scale scientific study on the dress was published in Current Biology three months after the image went viral. The study, which involved 1,400 respondents, found that 57 per cent saw the dress as blue and black, 30 per cent saw it as white and gold, 11 per cent saw it as blue and brown, and two per cent reported it as “other”. Women and older people disproportionately saw the dress as white and gold. The researchers further found that, if the dress was shown in artificial yellow-coloured lighting, almost all respondents saw the dress as black and blue, while they saw it as white and gold if the simulated lighting had a blue bias.
Another study in the Journal of Vision, by Pascal Wallisch, found that people who were early risers were more likely to think the dress was lit by natural light, perceiving it as white and gold, and that “night owls” saw the dress as blue and black.
A study carried out by Schlaffke et al. reported that individuals who saw the dress as white and gold showed increased activity in the frontal and parietal regions of the brain. These areas are thought to be critical in higher cognition activities such as top-down modulation in visual perception
Wow you figured out how to break JPG encryption? Someone call Alan Turing, we got a prodigy over here
I’m French, we often use comparable actions verbs even if it’s not their real context. More commonly known as the metaphore stylistic device.
I’m not French, we also do it, it’s commonly done and you were completely legible. Dude needs to chill
Is it common for the French to put together random semi-related, mostly nonsense words to try and sound like you know what you’re talking about?
Sounds like you need to open a dictionary ! It’s one of those big, stern books. Books are those stacks of paper bound together on one side.
I have not enjoyed passing through your comments in this thread
No need to be so sassy c’mon
Being sassy is fine, but being sassy and incorrect makes you look silly.
Just calling em like I see em, but fine. Carry on with the nonsense
I was gonna let you be stupid without saying anything, but you doubled down twice so now I will prove that you are wrong.
The first definition of decrypt in the American Heritage Dictionary is “To Decipher” I’ll admit, not super helpful, so let’s look at the definition of decipher. “To read or interpret (ambiguous, obscure, or illegible matter)”
So for someone to “decrypt” an overexposed picture, they would be, by dictionary definition, trying to interpret what the ambiguous picture was actually showing, since the lighting was making it unclear.
You are in the wrong when saying they used the wrong word, you just don’t have as good a command over the English language as you thought
Do you see em as white and gold?
Decrypt is closely related to the word “interpret”, which is something I personally interpreted from a history of decrypting English text written by nonnative speakers on the internet. 👍
The same words often have different meanings in different countries; something you should take into account in case you ever decide to take a German gift from a slim Dutchman.
“Decipher” is a mostly synonymous word which is more commonly used in that context.
10 YEARS AGO?!
I only see white gold
Literally the entire planet remembers this. Even people who were not born yet.
Don’t forget Laurel and Yani!
And the trainer.
The dress was always blue and black to me (blue and copper tinged black really), but this one keeps switching from grey and mint to pink and white and then back again.
I like Brainstorm vs Green Needle even better. The’re not even the same amount of syllables! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1okD66RmktA
Ok this one is crazy, because I hear whatever I’m consciously thinking of. “Brainstorm”, “green needle”, “brain needle”, “green storm”. It’s actually tripping me out.
Btw I still hear “laurel” every time. I can hear “yanny” in the background if I really focus, but I always hear “laurel” as well.
Craziest one that’s worked on me seeing both. Only hear yanny, no concept of laurel
i hear Laurel at high volumes and Yanny at low volumes, and if i turn down/up the volume little by little i can hear the same one across all volumes ( brain resets after a few seconds of not listening)
Team Yanny
I always heard yarrel. Or yarrey, but I don’t hear l sound at the start or n sound in the middle. So neither?
Oh thank god, i thought i was insane for hearing yarrey
I hear it as “Yammi” and see the dress as light blue and gold.
Of course, both are the only objectively correct answers 😉
I hear both simultaneously at different frequency. Yanny is way higher.
I hear pancaked!
I hate that one because I hear both of them at the same time Dx feels like pure insanity.
I still don’t see either. It looks blue and gold to me
Me too!
Same!
Strangely enough, I saw it as black and dark blue at first, but then something switched and I’ve been seeing it as light blue and gold ever since!
THANK YOU
This is the first time I’ve seen this take upvoted.
Same. Initially white and gold, but now mostly blue and gold, although if I stare at it I can make it change back and forth.
When that was going around I saw it as black and blue, and my partner at the time saw it as white and gold. When it was revealed that it was actually the former, I made a comment something like “I guess the difference is I see things as they actually are”, which got me a sharp look. :)
whats next? are you gonna post who remembers yanny/laurel? bitch be fr
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.
Crazy talk. White and gold only
I still think the white and gold people are trolling.
Same. But now after all these years, there are enough people in here that are pedants/trolls and flatly saying they can only see white and gold.
It makes me question my own abilities. Sure, I see the dress for what it actually is, but am I lacking the ability to trick my brain into seeing an illusion? Is that a lack of something like imagination? Am I broken?
