It’s black and gold. Duh….
10 YEARS AGO?!
it was obviously blue and yellow.
Yeah, it’s like blue and an ugly desaturated goldenrod. Because it’s sort of yellowish instead of black I think that’s why it tricks people’s brains.
It’s white and gold until you do the ice-bucket challenge, then it’s blue and black.
Literally the entire planet remembers this. Even people who were not born yet.
When that was going around I saw it as black and blue, and my partner at the time saw it as white and gold. When it was revealed that it was actually the former, I made a comment something like “I guess the difference is I see things as they actually are”, which got me a sharp look. :)
It’s pale blue and gold, right?
I see blue and gold too, but you’re the first other person I’ve met who does
Rise up my brother!
IIRC, it’s white and gold, but the lighting is way oversaturated or otherwise fucked up, making it look blue and black.
I thought it was the otherway around. I see White and Gold and I’m pretty sure I was wrong at the time
I really just remember it had something to do with the lighting. I see it as a very light blue with black stripes that have hints of gold in them. 🤷🏻♂️
it’s the other way around. the dress is blue and black. people who are white and gold do so based on an assumption that it’s in shadow rather than overexposed.
I only see white gold
Its so funny that this meme has sparked the exact debate all over again.
Yes, I do remember ten years ago.
This concludes your long term memory exam. Please see the lady at the front desk to schedule your short term exam.
Here’s a pretty good Slate article on this dress, and how important this image became:

When I look at the image attached to this post, I can’t see anything but white and gold, as I always have. This, in spite of now knowing it’s black and blue.
Blue and gold to me
I’ve never seen even a hint of gold in this image. It’s always been blue and black to me
Thants so cool i finally got to see both color version and how my brain blends between them. For anyone wondering how, I am in a dark room with the phone (darkmode lemmy) and it was looking white gold to me. But when I squish my eyes to darken the incoming screen light and blocking of the right light background with my thumb I could make it fade into blue with black stripes.
I stuck my foot in my mouth about this dress. It was about a year later, and I didn’t realize it had been proven to be black and blue, and I said something snarky when someone I liked said it was black and blue. I was so sure it was gold and white, I made an ass of myself.
I still see both colors alternatingly.
