    I saw it white and gold first, but later when I came back it became black and blue and has been black and blue ever since.

    Actually this not a joke, I saw nothing but White and Gold for about 2 hours and tried looking at the picture from every angle and under different lighting conditions and everything to try and see the Blue/Black, but couldn't. I even tried zooming way in and focusing on one color or another.

    A friend of mine sent me the advertisement for the actual dress that is very clearly very blue, and I frankly didn't believe him when he claimed it was the same dress.

    Suddenly, though, after about half an hour later I pulled it out to show it to my wife, and it suddenly looked blue to me, and now I can't make it look white again.

    Since then, this has gone from entertaining debate to full on Mind Blow.


    I mean, it's weird. I've actually been on both sides of the "C'mon, how could you not see what I'm seeing" debate. For some people/circumstances, it just looks white and you can't even pretend to make it look blue. For others it's the opposite.

    Craziest phenomenon, which is why I think it's blown up like this.

    OK after looking at it longer, I can make the dress in a way change colors. I can see black and blue but also can see the white and gold. It depends how I view the picture. If I cover up the right corner it'll be blue and black, but when I focus on the right corner the dress changes to white and gold. Its weird how it works. Guess if you focus only on the dress you will see one color but if you focus on the upper right hand corner where all the light is, you could see white and gold..... or I may be crazy lol.

    Isaw black and blue when my wife showed me last night. I was reading an article on it this morning and saw white and gold. When I scrolled back to the top of the page it was blue and black again.

    Black and blue but originally I saw white and gold and then when I saw it again it was black and blue. Now depending on when I see it I can see the transition of colors. It's weird but it's our eyes accommodating for a shadow or poor lighting.

    I saw this here first, but I think I've seen it about 10 times on facebook, mentioned once at work, and on TV.

    How can we get people this interested in foreign policy? There's gotta be a psychological trick to causing fascination of this magnitude.

    Can we all agree that the dress is ugly as hell?

    Same for me. Looked at it in the morning and it was white/gold. Came home and looked at same image after work and it was blue/black. Weird.
