This f**ked with my mind at work today like nothing else.

(Brown / Rust and other variation on those colours should be considered Gold with regards to the poll.)

Admittingly JT has posted a shite copy of the photo. The original one looks less 'blue' on the white bits and less 'brown' on the gold bits.

Meh, I'm going to leave the one I have up there. It's the one we were arguing about at work so the illusion still works.

So about 33% of the people see this as white, while the rest see blue. As far as what I've researched it's our brain adjusting for white balance. And that can change as has appeared to have happened to you Mike. This adjustment appears to be different for some people. Some people will see this as a white and gold dress, some blue and black.

For me, when I first saw this image, it was a very light blue and gold. However when I looked at it again later, it was very clearly black and blue. I though I was looking at a darkened picture but it was the same one.

looking at the other picture yes, white & gold. Pretty obvious. Still don't get it.

You see a white dress, but others see it as blue. So it's not obvious and that's "what to get".

Still not 100% sure this isn't a mass troll lol.

Promise you it's not. I've been trying to force myself to see it as white but can't do it.

Yeah that's the principle, but it goes beyond that because it's the same picture yet people see different colors.


edit: The one JT has suddenly looks black/blue to me! WTF? Did you change the picture?

Nope, check the edit time on the original post.

Kmart.

But this isn't a picture I took. It's something that went viral today. See the poll to see why.

Gotcha, after I replied I heard them talking about it on Radio 1. Also re-reading what you put, you didn't necessarily insinuate you took the pic at work, just you looked at it at work. My bad.

Shit picture is shit. Looks like under proper light it's probably white and gold. If it's black then it's a shiny material reflecting the yellowy light in the shop and if it's blue then my guess of the crap picture making it look blue when it's actually white is wrong. Refer to my first sentence.

The dress is actually blue, thought the mrs was taking the piss when she said she saw white, but then the little preview on her Facebook notification was white. Most peculiar.
