I see it obviously blue black, but I have some specific accessibility related colour filters on my screen that might influence this.

This is flicking between white and gold and black and blue each time I scroll past it.

The dress is a bistable picture, similar to the Spinning Dancer, which you can consciously reverse the direction of spin with some practice.

To see the dress as blue-black, I first look at the black dress in the bottom-left corner, then shift gaze to the main dress when colour is established.

To see the dress as white-gold, I first look at the sunny regions on the right, then move gaze across, when the main dress goes to white-gold.

  • It may help to cover or mask the opposite region, when focusing on one side.

  • For detail, 10 years ago I saw this as white-gold and did not change from that perception. Did not know what all the fuss was about this dress. Today, I saw it as white-gold initially, but 10 minutes later, after two friends saw it as blue-black, I also saw it as blue-black and could not shake it.

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.

I still see both colors alternatingly.

you fools the dress is clearly grey :3

color constancy was not "first investigated" just ten years ago.
