So, what does your brains say: white-gold or blue-black?

And this from woman who had for years argued with her father if certain neon-colour is yellow or green.
(The one they use in workmens alert-vests).

I've seen this story on TV and know the answer but won't spoil the surprise.  Hehehe

Either way, it's kind of..... fugly.

[Leigh]

How could that be mistaken for white and gold? ^o_0^

[Heather]

I don't know how anyone sees anything BUT blue and black.... No matter how you look at blue it's always blue, I'm not sure how anyone gets white out of it.

[emma]

It's a trick of the light

[Chelle]

blue and black. idiots. there are so many other things to be worried about.

It's a white and gold dress in shadow, hence the blue and black look. :-)

[Paula]

Well, I can't see any _black_ on it. Blue yes, kind light blueish-grey due the shadow. And the "gold" is more brown.

I really like this because it shows how our brains can work so very differently even with exactly the same inputs - and that our brains are giving us their interpretation of things 100% of the time.

I see it as white/gold but when they showed the same photo on tv I saw it as blue/black.

... I also see it as gold/white. :P

But it is interesting - I can see the blue if I try (and when I saw the work of that clever person who pulled out colour swatches from the dress using Photoshop) but I just cannot see the black. I haven't seen it on a TV tho ... hmmm ...
