there's a lady in a dress pushing a stroller on the left of the picture. there are three people peering through the curtains at her on the right side -- they are all wearing masks, at least one is a woman. the person behind the curtain on the top and to the right is giving a thumbs-up. the lady pushing the stroller must be doing a good job.
 
Haha no trick it just me and my family have a on going group message via text and this was tonight's topic and it was really tripping me out.
 
The color, as it looks to me, most likely is not what you or someone else sees. Each monitors color values would need to be calibrated the same, to see the same colors.
 
I've seen it as white and gold on 3 different devices while some people only see it as blue and black and other people have seen it white and gold on some devices and blue and black on others
 
God... some people will fall for any stupid facebook headline.

What is blue to you anyway? Could they have possibly taken a worse picture?

Its blue with **** stains... that's what.



Hey what color is this sign?

Funny thing is it was sent to me last night with that question posed. I said it looked like it was gold and a light blueish. Looks like I am middle of the road on the whole debate
 
Looks like a white & gold dress to me, though I think there is a slight blue-ish tint to the white parts due to poor lighting. I've seen it on 7 different monitors & it looks pretty much the same on all of them. All but 2 monitors were calibrated to NTSC color bars. I call 'em like I see 'em.
Regards, GF.
 
So you guys are saying this is all over the Internet? I thought this was a legit question by the op haha. I was sucked into a trick!

Guess I need to get my news from more than just HBT. Makes me wonder what else is going on in the world that I don't know about.

Clinton is still president right?
 
Supposedly, it's really blue and black and here is the explanation behind why there is so much debate over it (quoted from the Chive's quote from someone else, I didn't write this):

“Your eyes have retinas, the things that let you interpret color. There’s rods, round things, and cones that stick out, which is what gives your eye a textured appearance in the colored part. The “cones” see color. The “rods” see shade, like black, white and grey. Cones only work when enough light passes through. So while I see the fabric as white, someone else may see it as blue because my cones aren’t responding to the dim lighting. My rods see it as a shade (white).

There’s three cones: small, medium and large. They are blue sensitive, green sensitive, and red sensitive.

As for the black bit (which I see as gold), it’s called additive mixing. Blue, green and red are the main colors for additive mixing. This is where it gets really tricky. Subtractive mixing, such as with paint, means the more colors you add the murkier it gets until its black. ADDITIVE mixing, when you add the three colors the eyes see best, red, green and blue, (not to be confused with primary colors red, blue and yellow) it makes pure white.

—Blue and Black: In conclusion, your retina’s cones are more high functioning, and this results in your eyes doing subtractive mixing.

—White and Gold: our eyes don’t work well in dim light so our retinas rods see white, and this makes them less light sensitive, causing additive mixing, (that of green and red), to make gold.”
