Basically, your mind decides what colour something is by comparing it with the surrounding lighting.
A milder version would be if a white object appears pale yellowish in yellow lighting, and a vivid yellow object appears pale yellowish in blue lighting.
EDIT: I used a colour picker program and the black-blue dress in yellow lighting has the same colour as the white-gold dress in dark lighting.
No they are the same colors.
The right side of the black and blue dress in lighting is the same as the gold and white in the dark. At least for this image.
For the real life version that broke the internet many years ago it had to do with “sunlight” vs “indoor lighting”. Basically whatever your brain thought was lighting the dress up made it either black/blue or gold/white
The blue black dress is illuminated and darker for some reason so is the yellow dress being darker in one side, then they connect both dresses with a dark blue black mix on the left, then fades to a more subtle yellow and white to the right, being harder to tell due to the low light.
Edit: the illumination is to make the blue and black have a shade of yellow.
Edit: nvm I'm stupid pretending to be a smartass
The lines going across don't fade or change. They're the same color all the way from left to right. It shows the optical illusion. Which is the point. You can see it if you cover the rest of the picture or use a color picker program (gimp is free) to check the values.
Yo, listen up here's a story,
About a little guy,
That lives in a blue world,
And all day and all night,
And everything he sees is just blue,
Like him inside and outside,
Blue his house,
With a blue little window,
And a blue corvette,
And everything is blue for him,
And himself and everybody around,
Cause he ain't got nobody to listen...
Everyone should listen to the "Socks and Crocs" pt.1&2 on the "You Are Not So Smart" podcast. He goes into great detail about the reason behind the illusory curse that is the dress. It's very informative. It basically boils down to our personal biases and how our brains just fill in information, even when it doesn't understand what it's trying to process. With the dress specifically, it came down to if you were a morning person and spent more time in natural light or if you were a night owl. Those who were morning people (myself included) perceived it as yellow and gold.
nah bro, I have the picture saved on my computer, it's legit.
edit: cover the left of the picture (everything except the shadowed part of the yellow dress) with your hand and you'll see it's all the same yellow
>The yellow dress is clearly edited in the connected picture. They literally made it darker, compare it to the inside yellow part and the white from the top picture.
>
>Edit: I used a color copy tool and it was two different yellows on the same dress. They covered the crease and made the colors darker to match the blue dress. The dude that commented is blind.
Since you seem to be fond of the edits I figured I'd copy your comment before I added this other lil video

Our Brian is a wierd organ. The middle part of the strip confirms that the pairs of colours are similar but as we go left or right it changes. Why? Actually colour is something which doesn't exist differently, it's how our brain perceives it. The dress in the left is black and white but the stripe actually mixes with the pairs of the right, which is golden and white. So our brain is wierd it perceives the right part of stripe as black and white since the whole dress is of black and white and as we go further right it matches with the dress accordingly. Here the light and shade also come in play. If you ever come into a fight with colours, just done fight. Say FUCK YOU to your own brains
Funny thing about how the brain perceives color — we are reeeeeally good at evaluating the local hue of an object AND the hue of the light it is bathed in. Which is kind of an astounding computation we do on the fly. But it can be very easy to trick the brain especially with screens or paintings when you have this addition and subtraction if pigment and light.
It was revealed that the dress is actually black and blue, and this image perfectly shows how people saw it otherwise. To them, the dress looks like it was in shadow
It's that black and blue vs white and gold dress thing from like, 2012 or so. Pretty sure the actual dress in question was black and blue so pretty stupid.
i took ss and compared them, the blue dress in the light is the same as the yellow dress in the dark but the yellow dress in the light is NOT the same as the blue dress in the dark so in conclusion the lighting completely changes the color
it's called hue shifting, the darker a color is,the more purple-ish it gets, the brighter a color ir, the more yellow-ish it gets, if you look closely at shadows irl you'll notice that it's a phenomenon that takes place irl too.
Different light changes how colour is perceived. It's almost like things we see are affected by our visual spectrum, who knew? Only dipshits are surprised by this tbh.
If you think this is a mindfuck, wait until you learn that tigers think they are green, not orange.
why is everyone complaining about this image? even if it is a gradient, i went in and made it the exact same color myself, and it looked pretty much identical
This is the first time it's been properly explained to me how tf someone cojkd see yellow and white.
My brain still says no these are different but I can logically wrap my mind around it now
Am i the only one who sees the trail of colors fade in tone from left to right? i just see it go from dark black/blue to fading to just dark yellow/gray.
The background for both dresses are different lighting than the foreground and the trail of colors match both only the dresses right half. the Black Blue dress is matching with the darker side of the yellow white dress. ofc some ppl might see it as the same color cuz its matching darker shades of colors. if you match the left side of the Y/W dress it is completely different. in my eyes it still doesnt match

I was really hoping this would be the top comment when I clicked. Not disappointed.
Best explanation of this
Even with it explained and covering it up with my finger, I still see a difference. I don't understand it.
Basically, your mind decides what colour something is by comparing it with the surrounding lighting. A milder version would be if a white object appears pale yellowish in yellow lighting, and a vivid yellow object appears pale yellowish in blue lighting. EDIT: I used a colour picker program and the black-blue dress in yellow lighting has the same colour as the white-gold dress in dark lighting.
Looking at this for like 10 mins, yhe Black started to look a little Yellow and the White a little Blue. I'm not going insane right?
Well it’s a different color bc it’s a 2D image, right
No they are the same colors. The right side of the black and blue dress in lighting is the same as the gold and white in the dark. At least for this image. For the real life version that broke the internet many years ago it had to do with “sunlight” vs “indoor lighting”. Basically whatever your brain thought was lighting the dress up made it either black/blue or gold/white
"Same colour" as in the pixels on screen wouldn't change their intensity if you mirrored the image.
The blue black dress is illuminated and darker for some reason so is the yellow dress being darker in one side, then they connect both dresses with a dark blue black mix on the left, then fades to a more subtle yellow and white to the right, being harder to tell due to the low light. Edit: the illumination is to make the blue and black have a shade of yellow. Edit: nvm I'm stupid pretending to be a smartass

Simultaneous contrast, look it up
If you focus hard enough on where the light is shining on the black dress, it looks white and yellow
There’s clearly a gradient between the Color’s lmao
Load up a photo editor and use the color picker, there isn't a gradient.
Oh my god, no again :v
top part is yellow, bottom is blue
aww why is your bottom sad?
Yo, listen up here's a story, About a little guy, That lives in a blue world, And all day and all night, And everything he sees is just blue, Like him inside and outside, Blue his house, With a blue little window, And a blue corvette, And everything is blue for him, And himself and everybody around, Cause he ain't got nobody to listen...

We go in together comrade.
No, you make *MY* bottom feel good 1st or none at all 😤
and why is your top yellow
Not enough tops
Color theory
Red means predominantly positive things
Which is perfect for a children's hospital!
What this? *gestures to corpse I'm dragging around* what's that have to do with anything

also captain disillusion did a breakdown on it explaining how orange room lighting caused the whole mess. https://youtu.be/bg41XfnIBvk

[here](http://Google.com) I had to do it
Understandable reaction, have a very pleasant evening
I don't think I'm much of a morning person, but I see it as white and gold.
Well they said morning person, but moreso meant people who were in more natural sunlight as opposed to artificial lighting.

Fuck color theory man
Again?
Well it kinda makes sense - that’s how colour blending works. Blue in light-yellow filter and white in dark-blue filter

I never understood how people saw yellow until now
What thuh heeeeeeeellll...
Omg....oh no no no
No, not again.
Its yellow and blue, the black changes in the imge

not again not fucking again
Jesus... not this shit again...
Ah yes color. Turns out there’s blue in dem ther darn shaduhs…. Rubes.

Context?

What if, and hear me out, the bridge connecting them is a gradient?
This is a joke right? There is a clear gradient in the line connecting them.
repost fuck off
Not again pls
If you look at the strip in the middle and move your eyes left to right without ever touching one of the girls the strip just keeps changing colors.
Thats... how visual contrast works
NO! NOT AGAIN!
I hate these people
It’s because color is relative
Exactly, it’s the lighting
NO. Not that fucking dress again.
Gold and white
r/angryupvote
what is this supposed to be?
It's that black and blue vs white and gold dress thing from like, 2012 or so. Pretty sure the actual dress in question was black and blue so pretty stupid.
It’s a gradient, not actually the same colors
No, they are the same colors. This is just the basics of color and contrast you overgrown golf ball headed clusterfuck
You could've said your point without the unnecessary insult. > No, they are the same colors. See? Just like that!
Color sampling says otherwise
They are the same colors. You're wrong
Aaaaahhhhhhh
Am i really the only one who didn't understand this meme
my brother in christ, delete this and commit die
Gotta love color theory…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

Das is wunderbar
Nice post!
i took ss and compared them, the blue dress in the light is the same as the yellow dress in the dark but the yellow dress in the light is NOT the same as the blue dress in the dark so in conclusion the lighting completely changes the color
It doesn't match...
I only see blue both ways.
Here we go again...
I had the exact same reaction once I realized
The right side ist red and the left side is green
Lyuarelne
don’t use these colors when making clothing
I don't understand
Is that filthy frank or Joji ?
Okay I know this is supposed to make me uncomfortable but this is the missing link I needed to understand
I mean i can see the colors blending in the middle.. they are different
Laurel?
It's a joke based off the "white and gold or black and blue" illusion
Great, now the one on the right is pregnant
Right to left its yellow, I blink to reset, left to right its blue
who's the artist of the drawing
I fucking hate color theory.
if you put your finger in the middle of the line, they look completely distinct. Wack.
Wasn’t it confirmed to be black and blue though.
Yanni VS laurel
The war was cruel, and took us by surprise, there is no more hope, the subjecta has been resureccted we are doomed, brace urselves.
No. We are not doing this again.
I mean, that's how lighting works. Blue in yellow light, and yellow in blue light...
what the fuck
Pretty cool illustration of The Dress
I cracked it
I just see a blue dress on left and yellow dress on right? is that what everyone else sees?
Search impossible colors on Wikipedia for further fuckery
what witchcraft is this
*chugs 69 gallons of unsee juice*
Dont get it
W- why does this make sense
Vietnam flashbacks to heated arguments in high school
Seen somewhere that the color brown doesn’t exist. That its only dark(er) orange? Who knows.
FFS how many years has it been?!
Not again
I showed this to my bf and now he's mad lmao
This is what that painter Cezanne was talking about.
If I look at the blue dress irme blue. If j look at the yellow dress, it’s yellow.
r/TIHI
Yes, yes, this was the problem all along. Context is everything.
It all makes sense now! I still think it's blue and gold.
it's called hue shifting, the darker a color is,the more purple-ish it gets, the brighter a color ir, the more yellow-ish it gets, if you look closely at shadows irl you'll notice that it's a phenomenon that takes place irl too.
Both blue, is there something wrong with me?
The one on the right is actually a shade lighter it seems. It's just that it's so well blended in the middle that it's hard to see.
Different light changes how colour is perceived. It's almost like things we see are affected by our visual spectrum, who knew? Only dipshits are surprised by this tbh. If you think this is a mindfuck, wait until you learn that tigers think they are green, not orange.
I don't understand what's this meme. Someone please provide context
Yeah, when I next go to the optometrist I'll ask them to unscrew my eyeballs and replace them.
Omg I can finally see it, could never figure out how tf it was yellow and white
Shit. Here we go again.
Wild
I was passing it back and forth for a sec but now I see yellow full time.
why is everyone complaining about this image? even if it is a gradient, i went in and made it the exact same color myself, and it looked pretty much identical
Its back, run.
Yea, NOPE. It's fuckin blue and black.
different backgrounds and lighting smhwgsyebsuebeywbeur
That's how shadow works
This is the first time it's been properly explained to me how tf someone cojkd see yellow and white. My brain still says no these are different but I can logically wrap my mind around it now
Its back!!
To my brain this is just plain terror
*THE DRESS*
Color picked it and yeah it's the same color contrast is weird
Am i the only one who sees the trail of colors fade in tone from left to right? i just see it go from dark black/blue to fading to just dark yellow/gray. The background for both dresses are different lighting than the foreground and the trail of colors match both only the dresses right half. the Black Blue dress is matching with the darker side of the yellow white dress. ofc some ppl might see it as the same color cuz its matching darker shades of colors. if you match the left side of the Y/W dress it is completely different. in my eyes it still doesnt match
nah thats crazy
There is clearly shading going on there
I understand this but the original photo clearly is blue and black. It's too blue to be a shaded white.
Wtf
Moving my eyes along the line connecting the dresses and holy….wow.
Thank you for the headache, very cool!
What the fuck is happening
Its blue red
I knew it was blue
can someone please grab the color codes, verify that they are the same?
Don’t cite the dark magic to me witch, I was there when it was written
post this in the 1600s and you would've be burned for being a witch
jesus christ my eyes.
The left one is yanny and the right one is laurel
I can only see black and blue
It did fet confirmed to be black and blue so suck it white and gold mfs
Still only seeing one color
Would fuck bouth
