Dress debate......what color do you see?

[Xenoburger_]

Blue & black master race.

....and the debate continues....lol.

It's not the monitors. If that was true how come the person sitting right next to me saw blue and black and I clearly saw white and gold. It has something to do with the physics of seeing shadows that are not really there in your eyes/brain. I think it's really cool.

well the original dress is blue and black


so those seeing white and gold are obviously seeing something they shouldn't

 

[crows]

haha, u funny crows

anyway, those in power(Mr. Green) also wanted people to read this:

No one could see the color blue until modern times

then wtf did they call the sky in their paintings?



or their clothes?

 

[Mr. Green]

they were talking bout earlier than that

 

[Lejuan]

Crows do you actually read or watch any of the links people post? Could you easily identify the different green square in the example?

 

[Lawrence]

Did anybody see that different shade of green? Not guess, but actually see the difference.

I wanted to get that question right, but simply didn't see it.

 

[Mr. Green]

na, Mr. Green not modern man enough, all green squares he see. this dress raises color-blind issues. Mr. Green can see primary colors and most colors but a certain shades eludes him. this dress is pale blue with light brownish horizontal dammit!

I READ IT

the author makes absolutely no mention of art... how f-- convenient
how were they able to paint using a color that did not exist then?

still doesnt explain why half the people see the WRONG Dress colors




(all the greens looked a little bit different, not just one)

 

[Star Puffs]

What kind of blue are you seeing, an electric blue or closer to a slate blue? My wife and both my daughters see a black and blue dress.

I see a blue throughout approximately like this raw pigment:

Of course the colour blue existed - it's simply that people's perception of them and language used to describe them was different. It would appear that culture as well as perception is a factor in how we read colour also.

As for why people are seeing that dress as white and gold - as I do - it's not about seeing the 'wrong colour', but how our brain perceives the light environment of the entire image. Colours are read differently in shade than in light - which is why impressionism, which exploited this phenomenon, was such a significant and, at the time, radical, art movement.

I see a blue throughout approximately like this raw pigment:

That's an intense blue - that I see clearly there, but not at all in the image of the dress

I've seen both ways in the same image a few times, but it's blue/black 95% of the time for me.

What amazes me is how violently obnoxious people become when debating what they see, and how others should see it like they do or die. Some of the comments sections on various sites I've read about this are downright scary.
Although, to be fair, comments sections on just about every site, be it news, blog or other, are scary places. About as bad as You Tube.

In other news.....yes, people are dicks. Especially when they can hide behind a keyboard.

[mr.thrifty]

Out of four of us in my work break room only one saw white...

 

[KitFisto]

Oh trust me, I won't say anything behind a keyboard I wouldn't say to someone's face given the opportunity. I'm not fake enough to play nice in person if I know damn well that I don't like someone.

specially when they make multiple accounts to hide from their real account, making a second or third account to have an account within an account...
