I guess it just seems bizarre to me that people will see it and their first assumption is that it is under weird light that is making it look like it's a color that it really is not in real life, rather than assume that since it looks blue then it is blue.

Not going to hit you - but look at the white space surrounding the close-up (the background of this page). How does the close-up also look white in comparison? It is clearly blue.

:^)

Have you seriously missed all the comments saying, "The dress is white and gold, but it looks blue because it's in shadow"?

The question has been from the beginning, "What color is this dress?".

The shirt is white - it's the collar that's gold.

Oh, cool - insults. Like that earns you the high ground here.

So? I see photos in links on the main page all the time that I do not click on. Just scroll past it and be done with it - like I do on a daily basis (and apparently will be for some time to come) with all of the stupid "500 Days of Kristen" or whatever that stupid annoying shit is. You are literally complaining to

Really?

It says your eyes and brain are seeing it as it appears / is presented in the photo, which is overexposed / washed out and taken under tungsten / warm light - but your brain is ignoring the surrounding context of the warm lighting in the room. Here it is corrected for exposure and color:

Then why did you click on yet another article about it that features a photo of it?

The image is overexposed / washed out, has a good amount of flare, and is taken under warm light. If the dress were white then it would have a yellow/orange tint to the "white" parts, not a blue tint. The "gold" color swatch (which actually appears as brown, not gold) is sampled from the brightest part of the black

The photo is overexposed and contains a good amount of flare. Add to that the effect of digital "noise" that a camera sensor creates in such a situation and it appears brown. The "brown" parts of the dress are actually black in reality.

Again; YES I HAVE. It was part of the point. Reading comprehension, sweetie.

No, I never stated that you claimed that jezbel doesn't participate in this kind of thing. To the contrary - I pointed out that you don't even deny it. Remember that part? Reading comprehension, sweetie (you might look into what that actually means before accusing others of lacking in it). I said you are being

Yes, jezebel does participate in that which it criticizes and purports to be opposed to. Look, sweetie - there is a difference between being varied and being hypocritical. Jezebel is hypocritical by way of its variation. That is the point that you keep missing.

I think you mean someone stole her dress.

Look, sweetie - jezebel does exactly what it speaks out against. It does exactly what this show does while purporting to be opposed to it, so is therefore part of the (overall) problem (of this type of attitude and behavior towards others). And you are on here (jezebel) criticizing a show for doing exactly what

The point is that 1) jezebel is a fashion and celebrity gossip site by description, and engages in the activity you are criticizing and 2) doing so while purporting to exist for the opposite reason is hypocritical and pretty much negates the efforts put towards what they purport to do / be. In other words, speaking

Look, sweetie - you contradicted yourself, and you criticized a show for doing one of the main things that this site exists to do (snark on people's hair and clothing choices - not to mention as well as their own personal life choices, speculate on their sexuality, sex lives, etc.). Just admit that your statement not
