The Colour of The Dress


WHAT COLOUR IS IT?

Although this isn't a part of the course, I included it in my presentation as I thought the issue came right around the perfect time for us Design 2 students. The issue with 'The Dress' was some people saw it as blue and black while others could see white and gold. Why? Because light and colour work hand in hand to trick the brain. Scientifically, the difference in perceptions was largely based on the environment the viewer was in. If he/she was in a blue lit room, supposed next to a window in daylight, the colour of the dress would look white and gold due to light reflected from the blue sky. However, if he/she were viewing the image in an artificially lit room whereby there would be a yellow light, the dress would be seen as black and blue.

The actual colour of the dress in real life?
BLACK AND BLUE!
