People who see it as black and blue, does it appear similar to the actual dress (I saw it on this thread) or is it slightly brighter with the blue etc. With the pokemon comparison up there, I still see it as a bit gold on the right image (very dark, not black) but with light blue instead of deep blue.
This bugs me because I heard of a theory that no two people can see a colour the same way. My blue might be different to your blue and may appear red in your eyes.
Apparently it's the environment you are in. For example, if you are in a blue room with natural light, the yellow colours shine off more and the white fits with that.
If you are in an artificially lit room, the blue and blacks are more obvious.
This shows that most EM users do not get sunlight for extended periods of the day. Btw, my room is blue and I have a light on in the corner with the tv, it's gold and white.
omf I am having a crisis, when I originally saw this dress in the thread yesterday I was like lol it's white and gold, all of today too. I see this thread has bumped just now and go to check it and see the OP is blue and black and I was like lol OP changed out the image, then start looking around at the other threads and it's all black and blue and then on google images and tumblr. I can no longer see white and gold but I remember exactly how it looked.
my animal physiology professor talked about it today and said the way we perceive the colors in this specific picture are right on the verge of blue/black so the brain decides one way or another. it's a toss up.
Also Pro Tip: Stand up, then look down at the image of the dress, and you will see it turn white and gold. Sit back down, and just watch, and it should turn from white and gold to blue/gold or blue/black.

Did anyone else see it was white and gold at first, then it changed to black and blue?
me and my dog stand alongside each other and do our stretches in the mornings it's the funniest thing ever. like, he has literally understood that i am stretching too and is communicating this
that basically means yellow colour bias satan. further interesting and related something: in some cultures, where they don't have colours split up so much as we do, they don't see, say, a whole load of variants of blue (baby blue, w.e. - don't even know, but...), just plain old blue, because they've basically not trained themselves to....the brain literally has to build the more varied differentiation of the signals and their culture doesn't teach that, not towards any practicality or fashion or anything. (no idea which cultures lol, it's legit science tho i remember that)
