There's even a separate thread about it on Habr. And even though people are posting photos of blue-black dresses there, I still believe that in this particular photo, it's not a lightened blue-black dress, but a darkened white-yellow one. And yes, I'm still surprised how anyone can think otherwise...

Black and blue, it’s obvious.

Actually, I want to put a definitive end to this discussion.

(image from Habr) Technically, the dress is gray-yellow. This is the closest to white-yellow. If it appears that color in the picture due to lighting and color rendering, and its actual color is different, then that's not our problem: it's the same as changing the color of the dress in Photoshop and then asking people what color it should actually be. In other words, in this case, the question is incorrect; depending on the lighting and the camera's color correction, the dress can be any color. But in the picture, it's gray-yellow, almost white-yellow (or blue-yellow, as an option), and that's it; the rest doesn't matter.

I, of course, felt a bit silly methodically taking screenshots and cropping banners in NationStates, but I couldn't have imagined that anyone would care about the color of that dress. And that they would care so much that they would create some images, explain something about Photoshop, and so on.

You don't understand, Siv, it's trendy now. I'm sure if you ask Akinator, it will guess.

Why don't you check it out and ask?

The secret is revealed!

So, against a background with an asymmetrical zebra of rainbow colors, if you tilt your head from a vertical plane to a horizontal one, those who normally see White+Gold will see Blue+Black, and vice versa! 8)

White becomes slightly more gray. Yellow remains the same...

You just need to look at it for a very long time. About three hours.

Fortunately, I hardly use social media, and if it weren't for a user with a strange nickname, I wouldn't even have known about this "important" issue. I still don't understand how people can discuss this. At least the airplane question offered a chance to demonstrate one's knowledge of physics, but what about this? Pff.

I don't understand how to read it or even transliterate it.
