The white-gold/blue-black dress mess

[Arntonach]

We spent half of class today (Psychology no less) talking about the odd properties of this bizarre phenomenon. Most of the class said white and gold, some said blue and black. I saw white and gold, but it seemed blue and black a little too. Anyone have any answers on this?

I saw blue and black.

But then when I stared at the picture for a really long time and let my eyes "burn in" the image (especially if I stared at the bottom of the dress), I eventually saw white/gold and now I can't unsee it.

Don't even start with this shit

Only reason I'm mad about it is because this generation took this image of a dress and made it a nationally recognized event which is asinine.

When I actually looked at it the first time, I saw Blue/Gold (which is fuccen weird because the options are White/Gold and Black/Blue so (y))

I'm waiting to see pants as the next overly-popular event on the internet.

I was seeing lilac/gold last night, but looking at it this morning I saw the blue/black more clearly.

tbh the dress is kinda bleh either way.

Ikr? I thought it was supposed to be some sort of optical illusion, in which case that'd be kinda cool, but it's just shitty quality. Shit/10 dress.

Anyway, I thought it was a really pale blue instead of white, but also gold last night. But now I only see black and blue.

lol I was writing my own thread right as you posted this XD

I'm taking a Psychology of Color class this semester and my professor actually covered this phenomenon last week.
Today, she's being interviewed by ABC News about it. Pretty crazy.

I've despised it for a very long time but this sent me over the top.

stop with this fucking meme

I saw white and gold yesterday evening, and then at night I saw it as black and blue. And it's not just an issue with differing monitor settings or something. A few of my friends and I have looked at the same image on the same phone screen and still have differing opinions.

don't mind if I just copy-paste this from a similar thread:
