| : Thank you so much! That is the only good explanation I've read. The colour correction introduced by the cellphone is massive. But I still don't know how anyone can see the gold as being black unless their computer monitor is completely maladjusted.

− | :The first time I saw the alleged image of the same dress by the manufacturer (which is clearly to me black and blue), I couldn't believe they where the same dresses, because, by looking at the viral image, I can't imagine a lightning scenario and brain correction that would cause black to look gold. The camera adjustment screw up makes sense to make them the same dress. Therefore, I hereby challenge someone to buy the black and blue dress and take a photo of it, doing whatever necessary to make the black look gold.

| Is it possible that there's a connection between this comic and [[690: Semicontrolled Demolition]]? Some discussions I've seen about this topic involve the choice between white/gold and blue/black, so Randall coloured his dress gold/blue. --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.122|108.162.216.122]] 16:20, 27 February 2015 (UTC) | | Is it possible that there's a connection between this comic and [[690: Semicontrolled Demolition]]?

− | Okok.... in the image, the dress is technically light blue and dark gold. HOWEVER, it is obvious that the real dress could not be this color, because the lighting is weird and you can tell that it is really white and gold. Also, that is a more reasonable color for a dress anyway... QED [[Special:Contributions/173.245.56.180|173.245.56.180]] 22:29, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

− | I actually saw it just as it was (blue and brown). I can't understand why anybody else saw it differently. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.221.150|108.162.221.150]] 09:28, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

− | The regular 'dress' looks white and gold to me, but this looks blue and brown. Aargh! {{unsigned|Jadzia.dax}}

− | It may seem petty, but this site usually points out small errors Randall makes and I think there is one in the mouse over text. I'm not native in English, so it's likely I'm wrong. But »''only to find there was unexpectedly disagreement over whether the thing they'd revealed was a goat or a car''« doesn't look right to me. I'd want it to be either »»''only to find there was unexpected disagreement over whether the thing they'd revealed was a goat or a car''« or »''only to find there unexpectedly was disagreement over whether the thing they'd revealed was a goat or a car''«. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.134.178|162.158.134.178]] 17:04, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

− | :I'm not a native English speaker either, and I also take a little longer to understand that phrase because of the way it's worded. Your first suggestion looks better. The second one, though, not as much. [[User:GuiRitter|GuiRitter]] ([[User talk:GuiRitter|talk]]) 17:35, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

− | The explanation mentions the color of the actual physical dress, and I question the relevance of this. The question is not the color of the dress itself but the color of the photograph. (Furthermore, the displayed color of the photograph will vary depending on the monitor its being displayed on, potentially making the whole issue of optical illusions a moot point)

− | I question the characterization of the accent color as "orange". Even the block of it sitting by itself in the explanation text is clearly brown or olive
| |
− | : Fun fact: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh4aWZRtTwU Brown does not exist in RGB]. It's all about the context. That said, I agree, it certainly looks more brown than orange, when surrounded by the white of the screen. It's more orangey (i.e., it looks brighter) when surrounded by the dark blue in the comic.
