The dress can make you feel crazy if you’re talking to someone who sees the other colors, but this diagram from the wiki page makes me feel like i’m having a goddamn stroke just by looking at it.
they’re clearly not the same co- HOW ARE THEY THE SAME COLOR
What i dont get is that there is clearly no dim blue light where the picture was taken. By the background you can see everything is lit up plain as day. White-gold people are absolutely zonked for thinking that.
i had this ex, one time she was driving and we were stopped at a light. she asks me “did you see that car?” and i hadn’t, so i said as much. she continued “there was no one driving it.”
now the way my brain works is, even though i didn’t even see the car, i know there had to be a driver. she died on the hill that there couldn’t have been a driver because she didn’t see one.
coincidentally a few years later she was also a white/gold person.
If you look at the very top of the dress in the middle, and use a color picker from your favorite image editing tool, the color of those pixels are a brownish gold.
That is part of the reason why some of us see it as white and gold.
Alternately, if you take a color picker to the sleeve part of the dress, the color of those pixels are a light blue.
Colorpicker bullshit means nothing, our eyes adapt to the lighting the computer does not. You can clearly see in the photo that the setting has harsh bright lights with a yellow tint. What used clothing store would have dim blue lighting anyways?
