A huge social media out break is taking a toll upon: What color is this dress? Some see white and gold, while others see black and blue, there is no middle ground. There is science to show why nobody agrees on the color of this dress everyone is talking about. Light enters through the lens of people's eyes and there are different wavelengths corresponding to different colors. Below is shown a poll of peoples but opinions on what the think the color of the dress is. #WHITEANDGOLD

(Not a scientific poll)
1. 2. 3.
My opinion for the color of the dress is I see bold and white for number 1. For number 2, I see light blue and gold/brown. For number 3 I see purple and black.
What color do you think dress 1, 2, and 3 is?
Why do you think people are seeing black and blue on dress number 1 and how do you feel about this dress topic?

Great job overall but most of your replies were on March 1. Be sure to comment throughout the entire week.
Dress one the lighting and gamma is distorted to where it looks as if its supposed to be whitish gold, the second is probably the normal picture, and the third is also distorted picture where the lighting is turned down so the colors look more rich.
Dress 1. I see white and gold 2. I see light blue and brownish gold 3. I see blue and black. I think people are seeing different colors because of how the light reflects on their eye.
I think they dress is white and gold. you can tell by the background someone just changed the filters on the pictures to make them look different. I don't know how people see it as blue and black, it is obviously white and gold to me.
I think that the dress is white and gold. The three pictures are all the same picture. Someone just messed with the contrast, lightness, and darkness of the photo to make three separate ones. I wonder why there aren't other things that people see in different colors, or why no one has noticed.
Theres is obviously 3 different dresses. The first one is white and gold and the 3rd on is blue and black.
Who cares what color this dress is. It just a stupid dress and it's obviously black and blue because that's what the lady that made it and sells it says it is.
The three side by side pictures make it pretty obvious that someone is messing with filters and making colors look different. People need to stop making a huge deal out of this. They're all black and blue for me, just more light and contrast in the first one.
It's pretty mind-blowing how the brain works that some people see it as white and gold while others see it as black and blue, two completely different colors. For me personally I see every single one of those pictures as clearly blue and black.
I think its the way your eyes see things and the light thats hitting it. I know a lot of people are really stressed about what color they see. I have seen more gold and white, but I have seen black and blue.
