I swear it was blue and black this morning, but now it's white and gold!

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

Yes, I do remember ten years ago.

Here's a pretty good Slate article on this dress, and how important this image became:

When I look at the image attached to this post, I can't see anything but white and gold, as I always have. This, in spite of now knowing it's black and blue.

10 years? No way

Blue and gold to me

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.

ARE YOU FR? WHO REMEMBERES THIS? IS THIS A SARCASTIC POST??? SAY SIKE OP

it was obviously blue and yellow.

It's pale blue and gold, right?

color constancy was not "first investigated" just ten years ago.

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

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

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 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
