Not this crap again. It depends on your screens lighting but it is blue and black

I know it's actually blue and black. But that effect only existed for that specific picture, because of the specific lighting. This isn't the original, and I also used a different screen to view it. I still see blue and gold.
I've been looking at this photo for like 10 years and even though I know for a fact that it's blue and black I only ever see white and gold
Same for me, across dozens of screens and different apartments and at school and... I don't think it's just the lighting
just look at the HSL profile of a blue pixel. Surprise, it's blue.
The Lemmy picture is blue/black for me while Wikipedia is white/gold. Is it the same picture? Or is because Lemmy fully supports dark mode while my browser doesn't?
Do NOT make this a thing again!!!!
It was a Gold & White dress vs. Black & Blue dress.
Gold & Blue wasn't part of the meme.
This is the first time I've ever seen it blue and black
stop it
We've already been through this, we don't need it again. I've seen both from the same file, silly rage-bait optical illusion.
In the original picture I could only ever see white & gold, but in this photo you post I can see either way.
