Default What Color is This???

I know this is off topic but...

WHAT COLOR IS THIS??? I'm being dead serious. This makes no sense to me.

After you realize this is black and blue (or white and gold), read this article.

Funny. Actually if you see this in gold and white, that means the function of your retina is not that strong. This effect is called helmholtz-kohlrausch effect. And this often happened to someone who usually wear contact lenses.

Overall, this dress is ugly.

I'd have to disagree here. It's not difficult to get a color sampling app (which I always have running because I work in design) to show that the picture of the dress, as taken, is a goldish brown and a bluish white. There is a picture on amazon of the dress that shows it as clearly blue and black. I suspect this has more to do with the camera sensor and lighting situation.

If you adjust the exposure of this picture, you'll see gold and white. Our retina has this ability to lower the brightness of a picture to see the real color. However, if someone wear contact lenses too much and their eyes are harmed, their adjustment ability would become weaker, and they'll find this dress gold and white, I mean sometimes. If it is gold and white all the time, well, good luck.....

"

And just like Osama Bin Laden, these so called purist spiritual heads and their cronies will be later found with trunkloads of cash in offshore accts and booze, ****, tobacco etc in their homes

.for every ancient Assyrian statue they destroy via sledgehammer on their publicity videos, they probably sell 10 x that on the art black market to fund their operations or store away the best for themselves

Depends on who is wearing it and how many drinks you have had.
