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 can only see blue and black. Even in the manipulated images it just looks like a washed out blue and black). but my toddler (2.5 years old) says it's grey and sand (so he's in the white and gold camp).

That's ok. Grin

RufusTheReindeer · 27/02/2015 18:53

Why doesn't this happen with other clothes?

Although it would explain the Boden catalogue Hmm

Sorry it someone has already explained why, I'm trying to avoid looking at the dress again Smile

I once had a pair of trousers that looked brown in daylight and green in artificial light.

Thumbwitch · 27/02/2015 19:02

Another one, just for you Rufus Wink

I see white and gold - but which is it meant to be - am I seeing it correctly?

Pipbin · 27/02/2015 19:45

The actual real dress is black and blue.

Grey and gold. Or black & pale blue-grey, depends how I tilt the laptop screen.

I really don't give a damn.

AriaBanjo · 27/02/2015 20:27

wickedlazy · 27/02/2015 20:53

It's blue and black (but to me/in reality it's quite a washed out browny black)

wickedlazy · 27/02/2015 20:56

Apparently if you see the correct colour from the start (blue/black) you will only see that when you look. But if you see white/gold at the start it could take your brain a few tries to switch to the correct colour, or it morphs between. So I'll probably never see it as white/gold lol.

Good point well made Grin

SayraT · 27/02/2015 21:02

wicked two of my friends saw it as blue & black this morning then white & gold this afternoon. Someone else at work saw it B&B on my PC then later saw it W&G on my PC while at the same time,another colleague opened it on his PC and she saw it W&G.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 27/02/2015 21:03

It's been white and gold all day then it switched back and forth for a bit, now I can't get the white one back.
