What is the color of this dress?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Madonna’s dress that has everyone wondering what color it really is…

I’ve “encrypted” the answer choices below, because if you see them, they would serve as spoilers for the topic in question. So, view the pic, make up your mind, and then and only then read the poll options, and make your choice. And don’t read up on the article on the linked page until AFTER you’ve voted, nor my writeup after the SECOND gap in my OP.

1-White and Gold
2-Blue and Black
3-Light Blue and Bronze
4-Some other combination

Amazingly, a lot of people are saying that they see blue and black. Some say that they see white and gold, then it somehow “flips” back to darker blue and black if they look at it in convoluted ways, like scrolling up the page, or blocking out the background, or something…

Here is the actual dress in “normal” lighting. And the article on The Mirror.

I originally saw it as light blue and gold-bronze, and thought people were joshing me when they said a darker blue and black.

Fascinating. At first I saw it as 1, but after looking at the Mirror article I realize it is actually 2. The glare from all the flashes and reflective surfaces washed out all the colour in the pictures. It is pretty clear after you see the corrected image and now I am wondering if my brain is now colour correcting the image for me?

I am voting the way I originally saw it in the other thread, white and Gold. Even though after a period of time, I saw it as blue and black.

Right now, it is white and gold again.

Sorry, only NOW do I see the 235 post thread, tho I was primarily motivated to poll the damned thing. Kill it mods…

Under the circumstances, yes, let’s shut this one down.

Here’s a link to the other thread, in case anyone else potentially interested has missed it.
