    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    The new adaman hauberk argument. Or is tumblr trying to punk me?

    Have you guys seen this debate yet?

    Someone posted a picture of this dress on tumblr asking if it is white and gold or blue and black:



    And apparently this has gone viral with people arguing over the color.

    I see it as blue and black. Not only do I see it as blue and black I can't even remotely see how anyone anywhere could see that as gold and white. What in the ever living fuck am I missing?

    Does anyone legit see this as white and gold?

    [edit] If you google "white gold blue black dress" you will see a bunch of results on this. It has been spreading around fb and I have some people posting they thought it was white and gold at first. HOW IS THAT WHITE AND GOLD?

    it actually does look white and gold, but I do know thats a byproduct of the sun reflecting.

    I don't see the black at all, but the lighter color looks like either a weird white or a really light blue.

    I'm colorblind but I see white and gold as well. Also that dress is fucking ugly.

    I refuse to believe you people are real. REFUSE.

    Actually, it would be interesting to see if there is a correlation between the white/gold vs. blue/black and the blue vs. purple in the hauberk debate.

    this. i see the blue, but my brain tells me that's just the lighting/camera and that the material is white. no idea where the fuck people are seeing black.

    Gut says white and gold. Remote chance it is white and blue or black and white.

    I tried messing around with colour settings and etc on my TV and it stayed White+Gold for me. Maybe it's a genetic thing? Involving cones and rods and science?

    Looking at the pic straight I see only white and gold. Blocking out the sun on the sides (using my hands) turns the white into a bit of a weird shiny light blue.

    Never get anything approaching black though.

    Tried playing with blocking the light in the picture / blocking shadow / creating gradients but still nothing.

    I'm seeing Blue and Black. Maybe it's some kinda weird reflection of the camera flash? Or something in our brains about processing colors? Hell I don't have a clue, all I know is I see blue and black.

    Pulled that shit up in photoshop and used the color picker tool. The stripes definitely have a reddish/orangish tint that matches other gold shit... but it's faded so close to gray in areas I could see a point. The "white" section definitely has a blueish tint.

    That said ... I saw, and still see, white and gold. Down with the blueblackers!

    A fb friend posted this:



    OK everyone.. I took some time and put together this side by side comparison. These are the ACTUAL color values of the #blackandbluedress vs #whiteandgolddress. If you do not see them the way that they are listed on the image, remove your eyeballs with an icecream scoop.
    lol. I am sticking with black and blue and heading to bed. ;; Stayed up too late being completely puzzled by this.
