It was always black and blue, but I've always found it fun to switch back and forth between which color combination it was. It was also a fun phenomena, but I don't like that it was ten years+ ago now. Time moves a bit too fast.
There was also this bro science take, which is debunked:
When you see white and gold you are happy and when you see black and blue you are depressed.
Article with original photo. Frankly, I see it as blue and gold this morning after I just woke up. I know that I've been able to see both of the other views (limited) when I viewed the photo when I was fully awake, but not right now.
This didn’t “reveal differences in human perception”. Those differences were well known already. What was lacking - and still is, as far as I know - is a good model of human colour perception.
I think everyone knew about how human perception subconsciously color corrects a particular image, but this was shocking in that there was genuine disagreement between people who simply couldn't see it the other way.
Ha! I saw this and thought "It's clearly white and gold, let's check out the comments" then I read a comment saying it was objectively blue and black, so I scrolled up to take another look, and now I can no longer see the white and gold no matter how hard I try.
