Confirmed: controversial dress is blue and black – lanacion.com (Argentina)

White and gold or blue and black? The controversy over the color scheme of a dress that viralizó on social networks could come to an end. The woman who posted the original image confirmed that this is a black blue dress and even released a new image. Moreover, from the English shop where they sell assured that do white and gold dresses that model.

The controversy begins at a wedding outside Scotland. A few days before the wedding, the bride’s mother sent him a picture of the couple, showing them what he planned to wear. That’s when they started disagreements over the color.

The bride and groom could not decide, and decided to post the picture on Facebook. In the same dilemma, one of the members of the band to play at marriage rose photo to his Tumblr and so began the viralización.

“We turned all crazy trying to understand why some people saw white and gold, while others saw blue and black, “said the woman Buzzfeed site.

Given the thousands of messages, decided to upload another image of the wedding. “Here it is a picture of the dress at the wedding, without the light that may have caused problems for the people who were looking at the first picture,” wrote

.



Even from the store of English clothes that sells clothing, call Romans Originals, they said they do not carry that model in white and gold.

The picture editor of BBC World Service, Emma Lynch, analyzed the photo and concluded that all shades of dress are blue, not white.

By increasing saturation, ie strengthening existing colors without adding new, the dress was turning blue for all.

As explained by the publication Wired, the different wavelengths that correspond to different colors enter the eye through the lens and hitting the retina, where the pigments stimulate neural connections that reach the visual cortex and allow the brain to transform these signals into an image.

Our brain filters intuitively background and light to see the “true” color of an object, but in this case, the bluish hue of the picture affects this ability.

In this case, the colors that surround the dress are so confusing that the brain is not sure how to understand the dress color.

This means that people perceive as dark background tend to see the blue and white dress and black as gold.

It all depends on how the brain processes the color.
