 Welcome to Wild World News. What's happening, Magnus Sacks? What color is this dress? You say? So, I found this article on Yahoo News. Internet's going crazy about it. It says the simplest scientific explanation for why some people see the dress as white and gold. I have no idea why they would be seeing white and gold. Now, I'm color blind. Okay? Seriously, I am. And it looks like, I don't know, maybe it's black and something to me. I'm not really sure what that color is, but let's see what it says. Tumblr, what color is this dress? There's actually a pretty simple explanation behind the dress that sparked an all-out Internet war and divided everyone between team white and team gold and team blue and black, which is what I'm seeing. I'm team blue and black. Well, black and blue. Because that's how I leave you motherfucker. Anyway, this picture of the dress originally posted to Tumblr after a group of people couldn't agree what color it was, completely freaked out and invited the Internet to help solve the mystery. Mitchell Moffitt and Gregory Brown helped explain the confusion in their latest ASAP science video released on Friday. Moffitt and Brown both saw black and blue. And they noticed at the dress and figured, they looked at the dress and figured, sorry, y'all, I really did just wake up, so I apologize. So I got to make video when I get up and figured this was some kind of ridiculous Internet hoax. For the record, the dress is definitely black and blue, but it appears white and gold to some people due to a phenomenon called color constancy. And the way that our brains interpret colors. Moffitt and Brown do a great job of explaining the phenomenon using a blue cube. God damn, what am I doing? A color cube. The two middle squares on this color cube appear to be different colors. Yes, they do. The top one looks brown and the bottom one looks more like orange. Yeah. But in reality, they're actually the same color. Aha, okay. No, this is not a photography trick. It all depends on the context in which you see the color. Our brain sees the shadowy part of the cube and registers that shadows make things darker. So to compensate, our brain interprets the square as being lighter until the shadow is removed. They did something like this on brain games before. The same thing is going on with this dress. There's not much color context in the photo itself because it's so zoomed in. So what color you see depends on individual perception and the environment in which you're looking at the photo. People who see white and gold may be looking at the dress in a blue lit room or near a window with a blue sky. It also depends on our own individual sensitivity to the bluish tinting in the photo. The brains of people who see white and gold are interpreting the photo as more shadowy. The brain compensates for the darker blue tinting and interprets the blue part as white and the black part is gold. People who see the correct black and blue might be looking at the dress somewhere with artificial yellow lights. I'm definitely doing that. Or the brain is interpreting the photo as more illuminated. It's an illuminati dress and it's a trick to deceive the song. And therefore it doesn't need to compensate for the shadows. Here's the original photo of the dress taken alongside some other photos. Okay, with helpful color context. It definitely is blue and black. That's cool. Alright y'all. So, tell me. What galel did you see, Magnesites? Let me know. Hit the like button.
