How do you possibly see white & Gold?
OK. We better stop this here. I saw these references on Twitter last night and was wondering what the heck was going on. Still am, sort of.

LOL, the article I posted at the end says it's blue and black and explains the phenomena, still one of the strangest things I've ever seen. www.wired.com/2015/02/science-one-agrees-color-dress/ The original image is in the middle. At left, white-balanced as if the dress is white-gold. At right, white-balanced to blue-black I see the one in the middle. LOL,at first I thought the whole thing was a giant hoax perpetuated by the white and gold group, then I showed my wife. |

I see a white-gold dress with the focal point for the lighting of the picture being beyond the dress itself, making it (presumably in a less-lit area) appear darker.

Basically, either there are several versions of the same pic OR monitors/screens are unbelievably and wildly different. I'd lean towards the former, because I've seen the supposed same pic on two different news programs on the same tv and they were even more different than the left and right versions that philsbosoxfan posted above. I think it's an elaborate social control experiment.

I think it's an elaborate social control experiment. I've sat next to coworkers and looked at the same monitor and come out differently (I started white/gold but can now see both depending on the angle I look, brightness of the monitor, etc.). It's just a very interesting optical illusion. |

Ok at first I thought this was a joke, hence my post earlier, but I just ask my dad and he sees it as white and gold. So now I know it's not a joke some people genuinely see it gold and white. But you guys are wrong it's 100% black and blue.

I watched a PBS show once where what we think we are seeing is mostly processed from past experience. Now I don't if that is only with moving objects...but this article and paragraph refer to it www.brainhq.com/brain-resources/brain-facts-myths/how-vision-works"In fact, almost all higher order features of vision are influenced by expectations based on past experience. This characteristic extends to color and form perception in V3 and V4, to face and object recognition in the inferior temporal lobe, and to motion and spatial awareness in the parietal lobe. Although such influences occasionally allow the brain to be fooled into misperception, as is the case with optical illusions, they also give us with the ability to see and respond to the visual world very quickly. From the detection of light and dark in the retina, to the abstraction of lines and edges in V1, to the interpretation of objects and their spatial relationships in higher visual areas, each task in visual perception illustrates the efficiency and strength of the human visual system." |

I've always seen it as light blue and gold. I can't see it any other way. Does everyone else always see it as either white and gold or blue and black?

Cannot see it as anything other than white and gold. I think a contributing factor is that with ever present but low quality cameras on phones we have trained ourselves to compensate for poor low-light pictures. That's how I interpreted it at least, as white and gold in poor lighting.
