The owner of this picture is in a dilemma. Her exact words.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>guys please help me &#8211; is this dress white and gold, or blue and black? Me and my friends can\u2019t agree and we are freaking the fuck out<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess by the time you saw this post, you might have lost some friends or argued many times over\u00a0it. I am posting it to keep as a record so that in a few years\/months time, I will look at the dress again and decide if it has &#8220;changed&#8221; color.\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This is a GOLD and WHITE dress!!<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Some argued that it has something to do with the screen\/devices\u00a0where you see this picture. It could be because the white balance is off, brightness is different and etc.<\/p>\n<p>BUT HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE SAME PICTURE SEEN ON A SINGLE DEVICE BY OTHERS APPEARS TO BE IN DIFFERENT COLORS?!<\/p>\n<p>You see, if it is slight color temperature or white balance\u00a0differences, it should not have such diverse color variation (gold becomes black, white becomes blue).<\/p>\n<p>Some sworn that it is Black and Blue no matter how I tweaked the picture with Temp, Tint and etc. I believe the experts are also clueless.
