The lighter color looks like a blue-ish white, but I can't see anything other than gold for the stripes.

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.
Always saw it as white/gold first but after a few seconds I perceive it as blue/black and then it stays that way.
It’s white and gold until you do the ice-bucket challenge, then it’s blue and black.
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.
On my phone the background of Lemmy (not the photo) is black. And what is clearly gold in the photos doesn't look anything like black.
I know the dress is blue and black and that's what pisses me off. I can't even see blue and black if I try.
I don't get it. It's clearly white and gold. How can anyone see black and blue?
