What colour is the dress?
(1) blue and black
(2) white and gold
(3) other

The dress is a photograph that became a viral internet sensation on 26 February 2015, when viewers disagreed over whether the dress pictured was colored blue and black, or white and gold. The phenomenon revealed differences in human colour perception. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress

  • This or something very similar was in Ripleys Believe it or Not in London.

    The dress certainly looked Blue in real life but Gold on a picture.

    If you look at this picture from different angles on the computer screen it changes colour ...!

    So the way a camera sees the dress is different from the way the eye sees it.  This is not to say that people's eyes don't have different colour perception, just that a photograph can reveal a different colour than the eye interprets.

    In the days of film Bluebells would often photograph as 'pink bells'
