The "black" parts of the dress aren't strictly black; they're more of a smoky grey with a tinge of yellow (so heavier on the R and G than on the B). But the "blue" parts of the dress are more like a pastel cobalt blue (so heavier on the B than on the R and G). Now if you're a white/gold person like me, your brain assumes that the pastel cobalt blue is shadow from backlighting, and so you mentally "color correct" by seeing more R and G than are actually there. So slightly yellow smoky grey becomes gold (backlit), and pastel cobalt blue becomes white (backlit).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-33556870915554861272015-02-28T14:08:03.846-04:002015-02-28T14:08:03.846-04:00I liked Clayton Hickman's take on the whole th...I liked Clayton Hickman's take on the whole thing.<br /><br />https://twitter.com/claytonhickman/status/571269683481055232<br /><br />LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.com
