Pierre ZFP Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The t'Interweb is all a twitter today with a very odd picture of a dressI see it as white and gold (which is correct) but a colleague insists it is balck and blue (which is totally wrong)http://www.wired.com/2015/02/science-one-agrees-color-dress/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre ZFP Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 The article might say that but it is clearly white and gold ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The middle image is blue and gold as I see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 FascinatingOn the TV news it was clearly blue and black.The central image from the newspaper, viewed in similar light conditions is gold and cream - but lower down in other images is blue and black gain. The manipulation of colour balance is therefore quite critical with this object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Now come along! It's both, depending on lighting conditions.Having said that, I could see both colours, equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crakpot Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 What I have always found fascinating is the colour others perceived at a certain wavelength the same named colour I see say for example I am told the sky is Blue but its my brain that dictates colour to the wavelength perhaps for others they perceive another colour it could be to me post box Red but they still call it Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think that it's a bleedin awful dress (if that is what it's supposed to be?) and I'd rather not look at it at all ta [:-))]By the way, this is a lovely white swan[URL=http://s47.photobucket.com/user/Jonzjob/media/Green%20swan_zpsx0yfof8s.jpg.html][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Green%20swan_zpsx0yfof8s.jpg[/IMG][/URL]The camera lies VERY often these daze [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Kent II Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I have just conducted a very primitive experiment.I looked at the dress on my laptop screen (HP dv6) and it was clearly white and gold. I then moved my head downwards so that I was looking up at the screen and the dress became blue and black.Could the effect be due to the way the pixels are arranged on your screen?
