  Yeah it is.
  
  I don't get this! I think everyone saying black and blue is lying.

  Amazing that this is even making the rounds. Light, reflection, optical illusion, yada yada.
  
  People are acting like this shit's never happened before.

  I was totally in the black and blue camp when this first came out and I saw it on my phone. Then I saw it on my computer and it was less obvious. On the news last night on my TV it totally looked white and gold. I'd like to see it in person because it has to be a factor of how people see light, and the brightness/dimness of the device they're looking at.
  
  Edit: Here's an interesting article in Wired about the dress. Crazy how many people are talking about it:

  Guy I worked with thought I was nuts when I simply answered white and gold.
  I mean he looked at me like I was fucking nuts. He had just come across the dress, and I was the 1st person he asked. The look in his eyes was pretty fucking funny.
  
  He says....
  How the fuck do you see white and gold?
  
  Hahahahahahaha
  
  On my phone it was white and gold
  On his phone it was white and gold
  On my computer at home it is white and gold
  
  The dress is white and gold damnit!!!!!

  So
  
  Now I have a full picture of the white and gold dress.
  As I view the full pic it is white and gold.
  As I scroll and view only the top half of the pic it is white and gold.
  
  BUT
  
  If I scroll and view only the bottom 1/3 of dress.
  It is blue and black. And I mean clear as day blue and black.
  
  Fun stuff.

  Scroll up...scroll down..
  
  Pretty sure when you view just the bottom 1/3 or so you are going to see Blue and Black.

  Black and blue is the correct answer. Though I think the black is more brown.

  Haha, it is crazy. And I seriously had a moment yesterday where I thought I must be going color blind in my old age when people thought I was kidding when I said I saw black and blue and they all saw white and gold.

  Huh? Makes no sense. There were two totally different photos in that post. But the orginal photo, there is no blue and black no matter how I look at it. It don't think there is any optical illusion going on here.... i don't get it, lol.
