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?!

I was a fully paid up member of the white and gold club. Then I looked away and looked back and it's now definitely black and blue. Spooky.

Now I've looked at the buzz feed picture and it's black and blue!

nooyearnooname · 27/02/2015 07:58

That is a black and blue dress, can see nothing like white and gold!

Morelikeguidelines · 27/02/2015 08:05

Black and blue.

o0 · 27/02/2015 08:05

White and gold for me.

Just asked my DC and my 10 year old says it's green and blue and the 7 year old says blue and black.

It's driving me mad! I need to see it as blue/black.

Mousefinkle · 27/02/2015 08:09

It's more of a violet and gold to me! Grin no matter what angle I look at it from...

SwingingBalls · 27/02/2015 08:10

I don't get it, the dress is white and gold regardless of the angle Confused

MissDuke · 27/02/2015 08:15

No black - its brown. And the blue is more pale purplish imo. So I say brown and purple Blush

Pipbin · 27/02/2015 08:17

The first time I looked at the picture I was in a dark room - blue and black. But when I looked at the buzz feed picture I was stood at a very bright window - white and gold.

o0 · 27/02/2015 08:18

IT'S BLUE AMD BLACK!

I snuck up on it. If I scroll down then veeeery slowly scroll up on the pic it's blue/black.

Grin
MissDuke · 27/02/2015 08:19

Just opened curtains and sun is shining it - it is still blue/purple and BROWN!!! Will try with my glasses on in a bit Grin

Idontseeanysontarans · 27/02/2015 08:20

I'm seeing blue and bronze on my iPhone no matter what I do with the brightness.
Witchcraft. Oh Yes.

MissDuke · 27/02/2015 08:28

Three children 10, 6 and 3 all say blue/black Confused

TiggieBoo · 27/02/2015 08:35

Black and blue all the time. In a dark room, in a light room, with the brightness turned up or down, squinting, wide eyed - I can't get any hint of gold and white.

RufusTheReindeer · 27/02/2015 08:38

White and gold here

No matter how I look at it.

zombiesheep · 27/02/2015 08:46

Yep saw that picture an hour ago, it was white and gold.

Your picture is blue and black.

Shock
Idontseeanysontarans · 27/02/2015 08:50

Just seen it on FB and it's white and gold.
Definitely Witchcraft.

Gatekeeper · 27/02/2015 09:00

when I looked yesterday it was white and gold but now it is blue and black!!!!!!!!

ChoresAreForBores · 27/02/2015 09:10

Okay I have seen both!!

Blue and black when i first looked, then I locked my phone and when I unlocked it, it came up white and gold. Bloody bizarre!

Eminybob · 27/02/2015 09:20

I've had another look in the cold light of day, and it's still white and gold (well slightly bluish white but that's just because it's in shadow)

I would be willing to place £1 million on it being white and gold if you saw it in real life

MaudeLebowski · 27/02/2015 09:23

Hand over that cash Eminybob

notnaice · 27/02/2015 09:25

OF COURSE it is black and blue.

canweseethebunnies · 27/02/2015 09:28

Thought I must be weird, as it looks brown and purple to me, but I see a few others agree!

countessmarkyabitch · 27/02/2015 09:36

I think those of you saying black and blue are in on some giant joke that I don't get. It's white and gold, from all angles in all lights and on any screen. You're all mad!

Here's another link explaining the whole daylight colour bias thing behind it:

They're all wrong, of course. The photograph is cursed.
