What Colour is the Dress?

Mind, it gets complicated, because I have seen other photos of it that are definitely blue and black, and other colour permutations: some of the online and printed graphics of it are distinctly different.

Its all to do with light and exposure, - I feel there should be a more sophesticated debate on colour blindness..or how the brain perceives colours. 

Dont understand the purpose of this topic 

Sorry you didn't like it Jemstein: I find it interesting because I'm interested in how the brain works. When we see colour we don't just see A colour, we see a colour compared to the other colours around it. So the colours in this picture might be seen different by different people's brains because some take into account the background in the picture, some people might see them in comparison to other things on their screen, etc. Also different screens might make a difference.  I did wonder if being autistic might make a difference, but apparently not according to this thread!

True Colours: well named!  Apparently it is dark blue and black! Looking at it I find that hard to believe, and can't make myself actually see it in the picture.  Apparently most people see it as either white and gold or blue and black (though the articles I've read don't say if it's dark or light blue they are seeing).  I can see it as either white or pale blue easily: can you see it as anything else?

The actual dress is for sale on Amazon UK, but I can't get a link to post.  It's called 'Roman Women's Lace Detail Bodycon Dress Royal Blue'.  There are lots of spoof reviews of it now: very funny I think, but annoying if you'd prefer serious reviews I guess!

I hate this discussion, I dont get it :S 

Light blue or grey and gold.

I thought it was White & Gold.
