    I usually hate BS like this but I gotta admit this morning I looked and saw a white & gold dress and couldn't imagine it being blue.

    I pulled it up just a minute ago and it's blue & black as shit gets.

    so IDK weird I guess, unless someone fucked with me

    The dress is changing colors on people too!!!! but its only black and blue to me.

    My fiancee sees white and gold and I see blue and black. We were arguing about this last night thinking she was making me look like a fool.

    This must be one of the weirdest phenomenons with our eyes

    Puuulease! I heard on the radio there were 3 different pictures of the same dress. More importantly, why do people give enough shit to worry about it for more than 5 seconds?

    Old Albert, right? Step away ~ 20 feet from your screen... who is it now?

    Here is the best one, and topic - related
    There are 2 shades of grey, right?
    WRONG!! The grey on white and the grey on black is exactly the same shade.

    People are looking at the same picture under the same lighting and are seeing different colors.

    And??? Does it affect your work, your family, your bank account? Does the color of this dress has anything to do with your life, even in a smallast possible way?

    People have way too much free time on their hands

    It was clearly gold and white to me. Then I looked at the same picture ten minutes later and it's black and blue as shit. What emotional trauma has happened to me!!

    I am not prone to migraines but I've been staring at this for a few mins and I'm starting to get nauseous.

    Human beings evolved to see in daylight, but daylight changes color. That chromatic axis varies from the pinkish red of dawn, up through the blue-white of noontime, and then back down to reddish twilight. “What’s happening here is your visual system is looking at this thing, and you’re trying to discount the chromatic bias of the daylight axis,” says Bevil Conway, a neuroscientist who studies color and vision at Wellesley College. “So people either discount the blue side, in which case they end up seeing white and gold, or discount the gold side, in which case they end up with blue and black.”

    That would be a good explanation if it wasn't actually one or the other. It is actually blue and black.
