Light blue and gold!

Apparently, we see different colors because our brains have different expectations for what the lighting is, thus affecting what colors we see.

Its clearly white and gold. Is this a best princess thread in disguise?

That or someone spectecularly got the white balance of his camera messed up. I suppose if you make this a lot bleuer the gold becomes black and the white blue. Is that what those other 3 voters were thinking?

Edit: Though im still curious to know how much these depends on whatever screen this is viewed on.

The dress looks better the way it appears in the picture than it actually is. Why would anyone want to wear that tacky dark blue and black dress to anything formal? Heck, those are my two favorite colors and I still think that thing is ugly as sin.

Suppose that saves me the effort of getting my old monitor to work. MS paint revails Chishio is closest to the truth, its a light grey-ish blue with brown. For a moment I did suspect the color picker was broken  lol

Also Celestia is obviously best princess.

Whahah true, it's kinda tacky. Actually liked it better with white and gold.

Its still a fun optical illusion though. Once. Knowing the internet however we will probably see it in a dozen more places though.

Facebook users have been jumping me because i shared this thing once lol
i saw it as White & Gold at first but then it changed to Black & Blue but never changed back :c

also i don't know why others are calling it ugly i think it looks perfect for my mother :]
but that could just be cause i refuse to wear dresses and simply wear pants and the only other person i look at wearing a dress is my own mother or characters on cartoons/anime which lessens my fashion sense
(when its white and gold it reminded me of what ancient greeks wore)

I dislike the style of a lot of dresses, so this dress didn't look very interesting to me.
Though, Hot Topic has dresses that I actually really like.

I'm not sure if anyone has set this yet..
The colour of the dress is A. All of the above..
(Sideways unfinished drawing of pac man eating a tic tac)
But seriously, it's actually a shirt.

You just need to look at the bigger picture.

Lighting on different devices' screens, plus the fact that the photo itself is overly bright compared to what the lighting was in real life, and some people see color slightly differently. All of these things combined caused this confusion.

Personally, I saw light blue and gold.

I had a similar light blue, but a very muddy yellow or brown for the trim.  And I thought it looked like an awful color combination, but then again I think monochromatically and/or have no sense of taste.  X3

Meh, it's okay, some people would probably say I have a bad sense of taste just because the only place I would like to shop for dresses is Hot Topic. ovO Everywhere else, I see dresses that are too girly or too fancy or too plain/bleh or absolutely positively hideous. And yet so many women like the dresses I think are disgustingly hideous.
I don't want a dress that's too short or too long or will cling to my body or have a big hole/a bunch of holes that show my skin.
