I don't see it. And for the first picture...I have a hard time not thinking it's a lie that the dress is blue and black. There's a small voice in the back of my mind saying everyone who says they see black and blue is actually just trolling me

How did you caught on to our conspiracy? We got half of the internet to play alone.

Lmao. I know that's not the case. I was just trying to imply that it's really hard for my brain to accept that some people see blue and black. I don't understand where the black comes from. I don't see anything that could ever pass for black.

Scientific American recently posted this article explaining it.

Alternatively, let Captain Disillusion Mr Flare do it:



At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I agree with your girl friend.
While it may in fact be white it is reflecting blue and appears to be black in places.

To paraphrase Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, You gotta be crazy on acid to think any colors on that dress look like goddamn black

This.

Black? What sort of drugs are you on?

CD says white/gold only.

Actually, it appears pale blue and gold. :p

The stitching around the waist is clearly black. Crop out everything but a small color patch and you won't be fooled.

Definitely brown.

This dress was on the news, today!! O.o Confusedhock:

Ok, guys, it seems there's a white and black version of the dress... but the one on the photo is blue and black.

You all who see white and gold or variations which are not blue and black need to have your heads or eyes examined - the guy on the news says it may be a symptom of some mild case of color blindness, or some other mental problem...
Oh wait... most of you are already mental... never mind!

The center is a cropped piece of the lace on top of a black background. Tell me how black it looks.
