Dress is white and gold for me, but I can understand this dress being blue and black with the way the lighting is in the picture.
I slept on it, looked at it again with fresh eyes, and it is still blue/black. I am incapable of seeing it as white/gold again. For some reason this bothers me a lot.
Dress in the picture is light blue and gold. What the colors in the dress are in natural lighting is kinda meaningless.
So I first saw it as white and gold in the thread. (I didn't scroll back up.) Later, my wife held up her ipad and asked what color the dress was. It was black and blue. I came back here... black and blue. Today, it's still black and blue. I just stared at yellow gummi bears on a white plate, in hopes of seeing that stupid dress as white and gold. And it turns out I ...
Go to OP and just scroll up and down on the image and you might be able to watch it change colors as your go from scrolling top to bottom. When I'm scrolled all the way to the top I can see the white/gold. When I'm scrolled all the way down to where I can just see the bottom half of the dress I see blue/black. Now that I've done it several times and established the colors as I scroll up I can watch the color shift as I move all the way to the top.
It's gone back & forth 3 times for me.
I'm telling everyone that the sign of being a genius.

Fuck that picture!
I always see it as white and gold, even if I scroll up.
I had Benjamin's mom try, same thing.

It really is black and blue, although the brain will filter out the blue under the right circumstances.
http://www.wired.com/2015/02/science...s-color-dress/Critically, though, that first burst of light is made of whatever wavelengths are illuminating the world, reflecting off whatever you’re looking at. Without you having to worry about it, your brain figures out what color light is bouncing off the thing your eyes are looking at, and essentially subtracts that color from the “real” color of the object.

This image, though, hits some kind of perceptual boundary. That might be because of how people are wired. Human beings evolved to see in daylight, but daylight changes color. That chromatic axis varies from the pinkish red of dawn, up through the blue-white of noontime, and then back down to reddish twilight. “What’s happening here is your visual system is looking at this thing, and you’re trying to discount the chromatic bias of the daylight axis,” says Bevil Conway, a neuroscientist who studies color and vision at Wellesley College. “So people either discount the blue side, in which case they end up seeing white and gold, or discount the gold side, in which case they end up with blue and black.”
i wish i was like some of you who have seen both colors. but i only ever seen blue n black and have looked so many different times
I meant to post this in random/dumb sometime, but this may be the best time and place.
Our vision is pretty cool. Our retinas have blood vessels all over them, but our brains filter them out. We can trick our brains into showing us their shadows, though. I've done it with an index card with a small hole in it.
disclaimer: This video was the only one I could find. It's a little long, and he uses his hand.
this one made me shit bricks
Off the track for a second: You see this silhouette doing something OTHER than spinning counterclockwise? Does it appear like it is spinning clockwise to you? From my viewpoint it has naturally rotated counterclockwise from the very first second I saw it.
Is this another optical schism amongst the population just like the blue/black/gold/white dress, then?
