I get a little sad when I can’t see white/gold anymore, like I’ve lost my innocence. I should probably unpack this in Em’s thread…[/quote]
What do you see in the picture I de-brightefied?
Because that looks black-blue to me and I am utterely unable to see that in the original picture.

Same, though I will occasionally be able to see black/blue in the original pic as well.

I seems people who see white gold go back and forth to seeing blue and blue. I don’t know whats going on in your eyes that you can see white gold. I’d like to know how good of vision the people seeing white gold have. I have perfect vision and see blue black every time. My girlfriend has bad vision and switches from seeing white gold and black blue.[/quote]
I have 20/20 vision and only see white and gold.
My mom and sister both wear glasses and see blue and black.

I read and article about how people who see something other than white and gold were taking it at face value or some crap like that.
At certain angles I to can see the periwinkle if I want but, in my head I am thinking the dress is white and gold and it is the lighting or lack thereof that is making it look odd.
Same thing with the picture above yes I see black and blue however, if asked I will say it looks black and blue but, it is obvious that the picture has been messed with because it looks like shit.

Well, I told you I messed with it so there, but I only reduced the brightness.
You SHOULD see a kind of dark white and gold, but you dont.

The way I understand it, if you see white and gold your brain believes the dress is being illuminated by daylight and it color-correcting appropriately (see: color constancy).
If you see blue and black, your brain is color-correcting for indoor lighting (albeit, correctly).
What I take this to mean is that those who see white and gold are active, outdoor people who spend much of their time enjoying daylight.
While those who see blue and black spend entirely too much time inside, most likely in their parent’s basement, and see most objects illuminated by the harsh blue glow of florescent lighting.
SCIENCE!

I said it “looks” not that it is.
I can see the gold in the neck area and the white tones on the jacket.
You did not have to say that you messed with the photo I would have known within seconds.

I can see all 3 now and switch between them but it’s hardest now to see the white and gold. When I first flipped and saw the black and blue version, I couldn’t get back to the white and gold and it was really distressing. I went back to one of the articles that showed the pic exposed to show all three I felt all good again.
The first time seeing the blue black without squinting and tilting my iPad i almost heard Zelda music when you find a movable block and unearth a hidden key. But the lack of white scared me. So bizarre.
Then I was able to see white again and I got clever and darkened a pic to look like the blue and black version to show a friend of the light blue and gold camp to show to what the dress looks like to the other camp and he looked at me like I was nuts because HE STILL SAW PERIWINKLE. And then I had no idea what I was actually seeing.
The world has changed.
Welp, alright. I thought everyone was fucking nuts, but I get it now. If I don’t look at the image directly, I can get it to change to black and blue. Neat.
someone needs to take psychedelics and see what color dress this really is.

Knew it had to be something like that.
I feel vindicated.
