Congtrats Smitty, love the vids too. But that dress had me tripping. First I only saw white and gold, now I just saw the blue and black. I can now get on with my life.

it's been solved

 

I don't know what that is, but the actual dress in real life is black and blue, here's the actual dress without any sort of lighting in model form as if you were to buy it from a store:

 

 

It's not white and gold by any means.  That comes from an optical illusion from people's eyes trying to compensate from the bright contrasting light in the background.  Somehow it's managed to trick people into trying to fill in blanks that aren't actually there.  It's actually nowhere near white and gold.

 

What I don't get is how people even see this from the original photo (the people seeing black and blue, even though it is black and blue in actuality)

 

Because it's a pretty clear lavender and brown color as projected through the internet monitor.  If you sample the colors and separate them it comes out to a very light bluish purple and brown.  That's what I saw as soon as I looked at it.  The mind is a weird thing.
