If you are a SNS (Social Network Service) user, surely you have heard about the debate on a dress color. For those of you who do not have a Facebook or Twitter, last week, a dress that was worn by a mother of a bride, has become the topic of the week.
In fact, it is difficult to really tell what color this dress is. I thought it was white and gold at first glance, but I was really confused when it turned blue and black. When I first saw the picture, and read the comment said that it was absolutely blue and black, I thought that person was crazy and thought that more than six hundreds of people who "liked" that comment were just making fun of me.
Although many people still debate this fact, it turns out the dress is actually blue and black.
http://www.romanoriginals.co.uk/invt/70931?colour=Ivory this is the actual site that sells the dress. As you can see, there are only white, red, pick, and blue dresses. White and gold dress is not even exist!
I found this video on Youtube, and I think it explained the phenomenon thoroughly. As it explained in the video, this is a phenomenon known as color constancy. For this dress, people who picture the dress as white, have brains which may be interpreting the dress in a blue-lit room. On the other hands, the brains of people who see it as black and blue may be interpreting the dress in the setting with yellow lights.
And there are a lot of parodies of people who see the dress as gold and white.
I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this on twitter. The person said "There are two with people with gold hair."
Does any of you guys still think it is a gold and white dress?
I also saw this picture before in facebook! I saw the color as blue-black at the first time but later it changed to white-yellow, so I was so confused and thought there was a problem with my eyes. Now, I looked at your blog post and got the idea of how it works by watching the video. Also, I really like the joke about Avatar lol.
ReplyDeleteThere are some other jokes about it, you can look up it online :)
DeleteThis had been a real serious controversy over a lot of people. At first I just couldn't believe how people insist that the dress is white and gold colored, because it clearly is blue and black. Since the actual color of this dress is blue-black, it has been proved that my eyesight is above problematic.
ReplyDeleteAnd to be specific, that twitter post is actually saying "Am I normal to see them as White people with blond hair?"
I will fix it thanks :)
