Ok so earlier, my friend sent me a photo of this dress asking what colour it was, I replied 'white and gold, why?', she said it's blue and black.. I replied no of course it's not.. I shared it to facebook, and some people think it's blue and black and some people think it's white and gold.. and it has just changed! I refreshed the page to see the most recent comments and it changed colour!! Now I can only see blue and black.. AM I GOING MAD?!

White and gold.
If I tilt the laptop I get...white and gold.
If I squint I get...white and gold.

Ok so if you're on an iPhone, turn the brightness down and watch it change to gold and white!!

White and gold but if I sort of stare blue and black

It's gone viral all over the internet tonight cosie.

This and the escaped llamas.

But I'm not green / red colour blind (and neither are most women), even if my phone is showing this as blue / black

SouthernComforts · 27/02/2015 00:53

Gold and white from all angles here too! Which is the 'right' answer?

Redglitter · 27/02/2015 00:54

Definitely white & gold

cozietoesie · 27/02/2015 00:56

Ah Yes - llama extremism. There are some disturbing questions posed there. Grin

SilenceInTheLibrary · 27/02/2015 01:02

It's blue and black for me. No mistake.

Tokelau · 27/02/2015 01:04

It's blue and black for me, I can't see white and gold at all. My DF is red/green colourblind, but I didn't think that I was. Confused

AmateurSeamstress · 27/02/2015 01:07

Gold and white from all angles, at all brightnesses.

No wonder it's so hard to choose paint colours if I can't tell black from gold!

TellingTheBees · 27/02/2015 01:11

It is black and blue at all angles and at all brightness levels.

Tokelau · 27/02/2015 01:20

Just showed the picture to DH and he thinks it's white and gold! This makes no sense.

Eminybob · 27/02/2015 01:57

White and gold here too (just had to move off the app to the mobile site to see the picture as this has me intrigued).

I can see how the white may look bluish as it is in shadow but there is no way that the gold can look black! I don't get what the blue and black supporters are seeing at all!

MrsCakesPrecognition · 27/02/2015 01:59

Ooooh - spooky.
1.5 hours after my original post (white and gold all the way), the dress now looks blue and black.
I wonder if it will turn back again.

Jux · 27/02/2015 02:07

Blue and black definitely, from all angles. When I was reading your op and got to your saying white and gold I thought you must be mad! I want to see white and gold, not fair!

NaughtyRed82 · 27/02/2015 02:07

White and gold for me, can't see no blue and black......Hmm

MrsCakesPrecognition · 27/02/2015 02:12

Every bit of clothing ought to make you pretty
You can cut the clothing, gray is such a pity
I should wear the clothing of Mr. Walter Mitty
See my tailor, he's called Simon, I know it's going to fit
Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Sex And Drugs And Rock & Roll

Lots of Ian Dury lyrics in fact - but this is my favourite short quote.

Then suddenly
Like a fly in a cup of tea
I'm stirred and no longer free
To fly away
The Damned - Is It A Dream

Always makes me smile.

Bugger - wrong thread. Apologies.

Jux · 27/02/2015 02:18

I've looked at that link to Twitter with the explanation. I've been tested for colour blindness and I'm not; so how come I see black and blue?

nocoolnamesleft · 27/02/2015 02:31

Not down to colourblindness...on my laptop screen it's black and blue. On my tablet it's white and gold. Switching screens wouldn't cure colourblindness. I think the brightness of the screen altering perception sounds vaguely plausible.

MrsCakesPrecognition · 27/02/2015 02:46

And it's back to white and gold.

MonkeySeeMonkeyDooo · 27/02/2015 03:16

It's blue and black from whichever way I look at it! Even if I change the brightness on my phone. Still blue and black.
