This whole Blue/Black White/Gold thing has given me an interesting thought. What if everyone's color pallet was different. Basically we take the color wheel and spin in 90° suddenly my green is your blue, yet we still call it green so you don't have a clue that I see green grass as green yet you see green grass as blue

The dress is not a lie!

Is it white/gold or black/blue? And WHY? I see it as white/gold, and if you do too, don't fret! 

The original image, to me it looks white/gold. Picking the colors out tells me it's white/gold. But this picture is not all it seems... Notice the lighting in the background? It's REALLY bright! More than likely, this photo was taken on a cellphone or a little point and shoot camera.

"So kate, what does that have to do with anything?" Because there is so much light coming in behind it, it has to refocus so the entire photo isn't washed out. And to prove that, I took the picture into photoshop.

There's a way to light balance photos in photoshop, so brought it in and used the "curves" option. This lets me choose the darkest and lightest colors in the photo. The shadow under the armpit of the dress looks pretty dark, so I'll choose that as the darkest color.

Well would you look at that! The background looks a little less washed out, and you can see the true colors of the dress! The problem is not with OUR eyes, its with the camera that took the photo!
