New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for February 28, 2015

Go with pink.

Here’s a suggestion: Instead of a colorful dress and see-through shoes, how about the other way around? That should get the prince’s attention.

Get an official opinion from Pantone®.

Well. This is surprisingly timely. Doesn’t Vicky have the same lead time as other comic strips?

I couldn’t care less what colour the dress was. It’s hardly newsworthy.

It’s Schrödinger’s dress. It’s both white and gold AND blue and black as long as we never look at it. Which I intend to do.

The dress thing illustrates how the Web will go nutso on unilluminated topics

What I fiond sad about the dress controversy is that it’s the most substantial discussion about color issues that you’ll find on the web at the moment.

A difference in color perception could have an evolutionary survival advantage. Each catches something the other doesn’t. Our differences make us stronger.

That sure didn’t take long! So much for the six-week lead time, eh?

It is a camera issue of low light color recognition gamma and surface .vs. reflected light recognition.

XKCD covered it quite well here http://xkcd.com/1492/ . Though some (Waves hand says “HI!!”) may need: http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1492
