I imported the photo into Adobe Lightroom and played with the color temperature and tint (aka white balance) and I could easily make it look blue but could not really make it look white. Plus in the color histogram there is a lot of blue in there. So I vote blue and weird dark brown.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys, tumblr is legit freaking out over that dress. For people who see white and gold: [link] [link] And that was just five minutes of scrolling my dash.

It looks the same to me on the iPhone.

Because books.
I looked on my phone and it's still blue and black for me.
I love that the entire internet is debating it, though. Especially since it's a pretty homely dress.

I am hungry. I have food to cook. I hate cooking. I can't live on frozen pizza (no, brain, really, you can't). To me, cooking is: canned chicken in the pan, heat it up; throw jar of sauce in pan, bring to simmer; cook pasta and throw it in the pan and bring it all back up to a simmer; eat. I still hate cooking. It dirties up so many dishes, it could turn out to be a tasteless lump, you have to keep doing it. Bah.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Both my roommate and I see it as blue and black. Tried tilting my screen and twisting the laptop side to side and while I could get kind of a photonegative effect, I could not see white and gold.
Connie, I don't much like cooking during the week, which is why I do something in a crockpot on the weekend so I have many meals to reheat over the next week.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Scola, that was the first time I'd seen the dress other than blue and black.
Crockpot, Connie? One pot, and leftovers you only have to heat up?

Me, too! But the first time I looked at Scola's link all I saw was blue and black and I shrugged it off. Then Bev said it changed for her and I went back. And all of a sudden I'm seeing white and gold. How bizarre! I know it's all in the lighting, but still.

I saw it first as light blue and gold. But when I got to the bottom of the comments then back up it was solidly blue and black.
