What Color Is The Dress?

I saw this thread last night and thought that I must be missing something. Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see any white or gold. Then, on my way to work this morning I heard about it on the radio. A couple of guys were pretty upset that people don't see the gold and white. So I looked at the picture again this morning. Obviously black and blue. I heard people arguing about it in the hall. What in the bork? I just don't see any white or gold. It's obviously a terrible picture, either because it's a terrible camera or because it's terribly lit. (I saw that JWinslow had an explanation, but that goes over my head, and I know that he knows way more than I do about photography, so I'll leave it at that.) But this stupid debate is making the internet dumber than it already is.

A gawker poll put it at 75% white gold 25% blue black.

I think we should ask @MaxBuck

My answer is simple: "What the fuck."

The only thing that could possibly make his Twitter mentions more entertaining right now would be if Donald Sterling tried to answer that question.

It looks scarlet and gray to me . . .

My raging Y chromosomes prevent me from engaging in dress debates. On that note I give the same answer I give to my wife everytime she asks me a dress question, "your ass looks great in that dress."

The Today Show (supposed news show) had this as their top story a couple days ago. We are in serious trouble...Good Lord.

I had not realized how open to debate this was until I left my office yesterday for lunch reviewing my Twitter timeline on my phone while I walked, when I saw the dress change color between me walking out of the back door of shipping to the parking lot, when my iPhone's brightness/contrast changed under direct sunlight to reveal a lot more blue.

I'm still not sure what color the dress actually is, but when we finally figure that out, this should be a test pattern for TV & monitor color balance/hue/brightness calibration.

I was hoping to see that mannequin naked by the end of this dress color story...
