I’m still convinced this is the biggest troll. It’s clearly white and gold

You can literally sample the rgb values and see it’s blue and black

am I part of the joke here??? It’s clearly blue and black…

The objective fact is…it is a blue and black dress. Other photos of the same dress show that.

But I cannot, for the life of me, see how anyone can possibly get that from this photo. Sample the RGB values all you want and it clearly is not black in this photo. The exposure and white balance have messed around with it so much it is incomprehensible to me how anyone can see it as blue and black.

The lighting of the room is clearly yellow. The black stripes look to be a very glossy material, which when lit with yellow light reflects goldish. There’s no way that lighting turns a white dress blue.

See, it always looked to me like blue light (or maybe shadow), where the only sense it makes to my brain is that the fabric is white.

Whatever is to the right and behind the dress is definitely in bright yellow light.

Behind the dress, yes. No one’s disputing that. The difference between that bright light and the dress itself makes it look like it’s in shadow, at least to some of us.
