Three different threads on the mainboard about this. Freaky deal. I will try to link, if unsuccessful go check it out. Correct answer by the way is blue and brown/black. Not a troll. Google it.

That makes sense. Different monitor or phone brightness settings create the illusions. Looks blue and gold to me.

That's not the deal. It is not a monitor/brightness settings issue. I've looked at the same pic at the same time as others and we see different colors. We see different colors. They saw white and gold. I see Blue and brown/black. BTW, I think yours is the first blue and gold sighting. Virtually everybody that sees gold couples it with white.

Edit to say apparently more than a few see blue and gold.

I have no idea how anyone can see anything other than black and blue. T Swift agrees with me, btw. Neuroscientists who study color are having their 15 minutes of NPR fame today.

What a day on Twitter. I missed l'affaire llama. I was online when the dress thing blew up, but it did not seem to compare. Around 50 years from now, there will be at least a dozen concurrent dissertations being written about yesterday by cultural historians.

I dont see how anyone sees the blue as white. The black I can understand people seing as gold. Its black but apparently shiny which is causing abunch of light reflection (which the camera handles poorly) so it looks gold/tan.

Blue/black i get
Blue/gold I get
White/gold makes no sense to me at all.

I knew nothing of this yesterday so when I turned on the TV this morning this was one of the stories they were discussing. The picture they showed this morning the dress was clearly gold and white, I would have bet the house on it. However after being told it was blue and black the next time they showed the picture all I saw was blue and black. It's crazy but for anyone that has ever watched the show Brain Games they have some pretty cool tests showing how the mind perceives color. It's really cool how the brain works.

Weird.

It was blue and black when the kids at school showed it to me.

In the evening when I went to show my wife and daughter it was white and gold.

I think it has something to do with where your eyes look first in the photo affecting how you mind interprets what you're seeing.

If you saw black and blue the first time you looked at it try (after waiting a while) looking in the top right corner first. If you can scroll the picture up from the bottom of the screen so that's all you see first. I think that's what I did different.
