Goddam! Thank you!
That kind of explains the gold or black dress!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress
I can for the life of me only see it as white and gold, and I have really struggled trying to understand how others can see it as blue and black? I bet the picture you show here is a result of the research the picture of the dress initiated. It can’t be a coincidence that the illusion you posted also is made with dresses.
Huh, I checked the talk page out, turns out the guy behind the picture was jailed for trying to kill his wife.
This is a new twist to this story that is somehow both surprising and typical at the same time…
I’ll never understand how anyone can possibly see white and gold. You can literally see untinted yellow in the rest of the shop. If the dress was behind some heavy blue filter then how could the rest of the shop be such an overexposed yellow?

It’s in a shop? It looks like massively blown out bright sunlight looking out through a doorway. I literally cannot comprehend the idea that anyone actually sees it as blue and black. And I’ve always been pretty good at being able to flip my brain to see either interpretation of other optical (and auditory) illusions.
Even if it was looking outside, sunlight is white. If the color temperature was so off that the sensor recorded white as blue, then sunlight would appear blue as well
Maybe this version with a minor correction to color temperature will help
Because the image is gold and a shade of blue that you can get from white if your white balance is bad enough.
But if the white balance was that far off, then the rest of the store wouldn’t be that shade of yellow
Can someone who sees the dress as black and blue (on the original image ) try to explain to me what leads their brain to believe that the light source is blasting the dress?
To me, background seem to be very bright, and also the clothes that are just behind the dress seems to be illuminated, thus leading my brain to think that the dress is in front of the light source (dress would be in the shade), so the logic that the dress color looks altered due to bright light just doesn’t compute in my brain.
I’m betting that this is not how dress would look in real life and that crappy camera has a lot to do with how that image turned out.
But I will never understand how people can look at it and say that it’s black and blue, because I never managed to see it as such.Your screen on your phone is RGB. Red Green Blue pixels. There is no yellow light ever being sent to your eyes. So if you were to look at a yellow square on your phone the pixels are RGB in a mix convincing your brain it is yellow.
So when you get a blue dress with warm yellow light, the pixels on your phone tries to convey that bit of yellow
Different devices will show it more or less.
If you printed out the picture there would be no illusion.
