Mrs Bear Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I see it as white and gold and am red green colour blind. But there are colleagues who also see white gold who aren't colour blind. Mr B is red/green colour blind and sees it clearly as blue/black. I see it equally clearly as white/gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccc Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I can't be bothered reading the whole thread - but I see blue and brown .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrashingisles Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 That reminds me of something on my bucket list. I have never made out with a good looking redhead. Currently loved up with a charming brunette so I will either have to break up with her or speak to her very carefully about ticking off two things at once. P You could just encourage her to dye her hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erat_forte Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I can't be bothered reading the whole thread - but I see blue and brown ....Yes anyone who voted is being a bit naïve - neither option really describes the on-screen image well. The best description would be "blueish white, and dark greyish beige".I rekon this is just clever marketing. How many extra do you think have sold since it was "discovered" on Amazon?

DTMark Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I only see blue and black. On the "faded" copy, I see light blue and brown. Exactly what you'd expect if you turned the contrast down. If it is related: I really struggle to see patterns in "Magic Eye" type pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libspero Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Some people usually men I have to say are colour blind. I'm red green colour blind (or so they tell me). I can say without any doubt that it looks pale blue and black. I can see a tinge that makes the black look slightly saturated/goldish.. But the light blue is just light blue.

I've tried looking at it every way and while I see "gold flecks" in the banding, I just cannot see where the white is that people speak of.

Turned Out Nice Again Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 there are a lot of colour-blind men about, who don't know that they are colour-blind, and there's even more mass-hysteria (emperor's new clothes?). i've been a photographer and multimedia developer for decades so i think it's fair to assume that my colour-perception has been verified with accepted norms, and the picture (not the physical dress) has a white-balance that renders it as white/ gold for me. of course, the WB could be corrected to black/blue (and white can be anything) but, how gold (in isolation) can be interpreted as black, I don't understand. meanwhile, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the colour-blindness thing is a red herring.. It only effects reds and greens, and even then there are degrees. So for example I can see nearly all shades of red perfectly, however very pale green (particularly lights) just look white to me.There are studies* that suggest people with red/green colour blindness are actually better at seeing other colours than normal people.. So in the case of blacks, golds and blues I'm afraid we are probably the authority ;-p Plus the fact that the dress is ACTUALLY blue and black *Color blindness is usually classified as a mild disability, however there are occasional circumstances where it can give an advantage. Some studies conclude that color blind people are better at penetrating certain color camouflages. Such findings may give an evolutionary reason for the high prevalence of redgreen color blindness.[4] There is also a study suggesting that people with some types of color blindness can distinguish colors that people with normal color vision are not able to distinguish.[5] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turned Out Nice Again Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Plus the fact that the dress is ACTUALLY blue and black talking of red-herrings,.. the *actual colours* in the dress are irrelevant as it's *the picture* we're discussing where clearly the white-balance is messed-up. but that factoid (and the Kanye/ Bieber etc. endorsements) is I suspect influencing a lot of suggestible folk to mistrust their senses, hence Emperor's clothes.
