Introducing, The Random Thread: In an effort to keep threads from being derailed (unintentionally or otherwise), occasionally mods will move posts from other threads to this 'catch-all' thread when they can't find a more appropriate home for them. Feel free to continue the discussion but...

Its official in MailOnline today...

...its blue and black.

White and gold indeed!! pfft!.........some of you people ARE colour blind!

 

[Caiphus]

Apparently the original dress IRL caused the discussion to start at a wedding in Scotland. So it isn't about the photo manipulations (of which I still see blue and black because my brain is fairly capable of processing digital manipulation and seeing the true image)... what is fascinating to me is that even in real life this particular dress has a completely unintended cognitive manipulation in around 75% of the population, and that it has taken this long for something like this to become prominent to the wider public.

Bengwatkins : You're a graphic designer aren't you? What's your professional opinion from a colour accuracy standpoint?

Is the perception of the majority more important in determining it's colour, or the actual scientifically measurable wavelengths of light it absorbs/reflects?

 

[iBeng]

Hmm...

 

[cheekyLionsFan]

Blue and black

I see purply gold in all three versions, for what it's worth.

Just differing shades of that. I guess it could also be our monitors?

Maybe this is going to start a great monitor revolt?

Just what the internet needs, more revolting people.

Truth be told, it really doesn't matter what colour it is, it looks best crumpled on the floor.

My wife sees White and Gold on the same monitor as me. Craziness.

Punching above your weight there, my friend.

The only whites that go well with gold are Mediterranean stock...

Apropos of nothing just wanted to say how good it is catching the 61 bus to Stones Corner to and from work. Goes right past the gabba and maybe one in three times I catch some Lions faces walking the street. Today around lunch time I got Zorko and Adcock jaywalking across Stanley street (probably headed for coffee). Cool.

Always wanted to live near the Gabba.

yeah it would be great. I live on the northside but I'd move to the inner-south in a heartbeat. Certainly wouldn't mind having trivia night at the pineapple as a weekly walk home event.
