Ok, my daughter pulled me into this last night. The first time I looked at the dress I saw white and gold. Then I say blue and gold. Now I see blue and black. Sometimes I see black or gold but now it’s always blue and I can’t go back to white.
What color is the dress? Does the color change? If it doesn’t matter to you, please move on!
Blue and brown!
D showed me last night. I saw white and gold, but W saw it differently.
Last night I saw white and gold. Today I see blue and brown.
I already heard the “correct” color on the radio today.
I see it as white and gold but both my mother and my father see it as black and blue.
I see blue & gold.
The first article I read about this I saw black and blue and didn’t understand how anyone could think it was white and gold. Then I saw another article where it did look white and gold to me. Now I’m back to black and blue, clearly, of course.
For me it changes every time I look at it. I think it depends on the surrounding light in the room where I am viewing it.
I’ve seen it in three different colors when looking at a site that has it in three different colors, so I’m assuming that if those dresses were individually posted, I’d see it in whatever color it is posted in. Are you guys telling me that if two or more people are looking at one dress on a screen, they would each see it in different colors?
@3bm103, yes. My daughter and I looked at the same picture at the same time. I initially saw white and gold until she told me it was blue and black. Same light at the same time. My eyes are 30 years older. I’m nearsighted and she’s far-sighted. This was driving me crazy last night.
White & gold w/o a doubt.
Seriously? It’s definitely blue and black on my laptop.
On my phone it looks periwinkle/grey and bronze.
@nottelling, I saw periwinkle also at some point but I didn’t want to admit it to myself.
On AOL, they have an article and they showed a tweet from Kim K and Kanye West. They were looking at it at the same time and he saw blue/black and she was sure it was white and gold. So I don’t think it’s merely a function of the computer screen if two people can look at it at the same time and see two different things.
When I looked at it on my phone, I could have it change color depending on which way I was facing the phone. That was weird.
The first second I saw blue and gold but then it changed to blue and black.
How long will it take for this to be used by an attorney in a courtroom to cast doubt on an eyewitness account?
Fascinating how our minds work.
When I quickly look, it looks white and gold. If I focus only on the "white"part, I can make myself see it as blue. Then the gold part looks black.
The scientific explanation of it is fascinating! There is a lot of current research on the human brain, and how what we “see” and “hear” may not be accurate, and why two eye-witnesses to an event, with contrary reports, may both be telling the truth, at least as to what they saw and heard.
