Black and blue. You blind.

ITT: people telling other people they're trolling rather than accepting that humans can perceive reality differently, and the own perception is never objective.

10 years? No way

The blue of the dress is pretty obvious, the black details are a different, golden hue due to ambient light. I "know" it's black, but it looks dark gold

Ten years? I remember clearly that I argued about this on my friends mailing list

I stuck my foot in my mouth about this dress. It was about a year later, and I didn't realize it had been proven to be black and blue, and I said something snarky when someone I liked said it was black and blue. I was so sure it was gold and white, I made an ass of myself.

It's strange. I'm wearing sunglasses right now and it looks white and gold but when I take them off it looks blue and black.

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.

I can sort of change it. Probably just my TN monitor though.

Its so funny that this meme has sparked the exact debate all over again.

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