Peebles' Perfectly Pointless Popular Prattle - Random Banter #211

Yeah, I'm impressed with him. Evidently some animation classes have been showing it to students. Which is so cool, IMO.

Okay, I really shouldn't, but I can't quite supress my computer geekery right now, so let's do an RGB analysis of the dress.

Averaging over the mid-shaded patch on the dark field on the top of the dress, I get the RGB values 0x54, 0x45 and 0x2A, which is this colour:

Doing the same over the middle of the shoulder-arm-flap-thingy gives me 0x7D, 0x85 and 0xA0:

So, taken out of context, that's neither black, gold, blue nor white. That's brown and... blueberry milk? No wonder people se different things...

That's what I saw, but you must consider the lighting conditions. In the background, you can see the color of the light, so I *think* you should subtract that color from the pixel values to get the true color of the dress? I dunno, I'm probably wrong, but it's worth a shot.

EDIT: So, I took the pixel value of part of the background (the less-white part, because the white part is #FFFFFD), and I got this color value:

According to Wolfram Alpha, using my method yields the blue part of the dress's real color as ... black. That's not right. Playing around with the curves a bit, though, yields this:
