So, when you say that you never understood how anyone saw gold are you
a) Seeing an extremely washed out image and compensating
or
b) You are literally seeing a solid black and a navy blue i.e. there’s basically an insignificant amount of difference to your eye between the black part of the dress and #000000
If it’s the former that might explain some of the difference in opinion, if it’s the latter then I have no idea how I would manage to interpret it as black.
We’re seeing (presuming other people who see it as black and blue aren’t having some strange different experience, somehow) an image that is very very very very obviously taken in bright yellow/orange-tinted light, and just intuitively doing mental white balancing on it.
This is roughly what we interpret the dress as looking like under normal white lighting:
Yeah i am with you. I never understood how anyone saw gold.
Sorry, I’m team gold. We’re real! I’ve never seen blue in the original image.
