For fun...what color is this dress?

[mom2binsd]

I see white and gold, I asked DS who is 9, he said black and blue...so weird!

I at first saw definitely white & gold, then later I could only see blue & black. Here are some more optical color illusions:

I have seen both. When I first saw the post on Facebook I thought "why the heck is this a thing. It is clearly white and gold (or at least off white and brownish gold)." Later after scrolling through facebook somemore I came across the post again adn clearly saw blue and black. It's just freaky to me.

I see white and gold mostly. I see a bluish white with gold to be more specific.

HEre's the science behind it.

Admittedly DH got into a HUGE argument last night over this stupid dress.http://www.wired.com/2015/02/science...s-color-dress/

Yes. My DH is also rather passionate over the color this damn dress and how he's right. Lol

I just showed it to 5-year-old DS, and he sees blue and brown. But he sees more of a medium-tone blue while DH is seeing the deep blue.

White and gold here.

Blue and Black on my laptop. However, it appears white and gold initially on my Nook and on my phone. I was also looking at it on my DH's laptop where from different angles it appeared w/g and b/b.

This is a great illustration of one should never rely on their device (phone/tablet/monitor/etc) to match color to something IRL, and then leave a negative review stating "color not as shown".

I first saw white and gold, completely clearly, no question. My husband and 8yo saw blue and black, and I was laughing so hard at their "misperception." Then a while later, I saw blue and black. I haven't been able to even remotely see white and gold again. I was hoping to wake up this morning and see white and gold again, and I did for a split second but then it changed to blue and black as I was looking at it. SO STRANGE.

I see white and gold. I can't believe it's actually a blue and black dress, or that anyone can see blue/black!

It's really crazy.

I couldn't even begin to believe people could see blue/black, either. But knowing that I saw white/gold before, I can tell you that the blue/black I see now is completely different than the white/gold; it's not even close. It's not a light periwinkle that might be white in a dim room. It's a serious, true blue. And I know that the gold was definitely a light, light brown... and I can't see it anymore. It's absolutely DARK gray/black.

ETA: Oooh, wait! I saw it as white and gold again! Then I scrolled down and stared at the really dark blue stock photos, then scrolled back up...and it's back to black/blue for me.
