I swear it was blue and black this morning, but now it's white and gold!

Just asked my kids (Not around for the first time). One says blue and black/gray and the other said purple and green/gray. I've never known anyone who actually saw it as white and gold. Only heard that people do.

Yes, I do remember ten years ago.

This concludes your long term memory exam. Please see the lady at the front desk to schedule your short term exam.

Where was the lady supposed to be again?

I've only ever seen it as blue and black. I can't force it the other way like I could with Laurel and Yani. Y'all seeing white and gold astound me.

Crazy talk. White and gold only

Here's a pretty good Slate article on this dress, and how important this image became:

https://slate.com/technology/2017/04/heres-why-people-saw-the-dress-differently.html

When I look at the image attached to this post, I can't see anything but white and gold, as I always have. This, in spite of now knowing it's black and blue.

I never really understood the debate. In reality, if you were standing in front of the dress it is black and blue. Now, if you take a digital photo of the dress and post it on the internet as a terribly compressed jpg, with weird white balancing, and brightness/contrast turned up and down it is gold and white. The debate isn't really about the reality of the color of the dress but the reality of a badly edited photo.

It’s more about the colors around it. This image from Wikipedia does a really good job illustrating the effect.

Context is extremely important in identifying color. As Technology Connections tells us, for example, “brown is just orange with context.”

It's pale blue and gold, right?

It kills me that no matter what, it is always white and gold for me, EVEN THOUGH REALITY SAYS OTHERWISE!

Never understood this one, or believed anyone who said they saw black/blue. You can zoom in and colour pick, the colours are measurable and objectively gold and blue-white.

When you look at the checker shadow illusion, do you see the pixels as identical in color? If not, then obviously there's more to human perception than just the color of the pixel code.

I remember seeing different colors on different screens, so I think part of the perception difference are the saturation and brightness settings of your screen
