memes

Back when this went viral, I only saw white and gold. Then one moment it just sorta morphed into blue and black. Now I can't turn it back to white and gold for the love of me.

It's very noisy. In the sense of there being a lot of pixels that would make up either colors. Your eyes and brain try to make sense of the noise and "decide" what color it is. The strongest correlation that seems to exist is the time people get up in the morning. Early risers seem to see white more often, night owls have a tendency for blue. It might be caused by the amount of daylight vs. artificial light that people see throughout their waking hours.

I've been trying for the past minute and cannot see anything other than white and gold 🤷‍♂️

I saw this same post yesterday and the dress was blue and black. Later that day it was gold and white. Today it is gold and white still.

Same phone. Same location in my house. Different times of day though. It kind of fucked with my head though because when the dress meme was going around I only saw it one color (though I don't remember which it was).

I see it as white and gold unless I squeeze my eyes almost shut and then it looks blue.

It had a lot to do with low quality displays at the time and not necessarily people seeing it incorrectly.

Right? Everyone has had eyes I guess.

For some reason, in the thumbnail, it's much easier to convince my brain that it's a white and gold dress in shadow. When I expand the image, it's pretty much impossible for me to see it as anything other than blue & black.

This... Thank god i m not crazy

this! me too!

jokes aside the actual dress was blue and black

I've always really liked this explanation image you can find on Wikipedia page for it. Essentially, people who see white and gold are mistaking the lighting to be cold and blue-tinted, rather than warm and yellow-tinted.

The portions inside the boxes are the exact same colors, you can easily check this with a color picker.
