I saw this same post yesterday and the dress was blue and black. Later that day it was gold and white. Today it is gold and white still.
Same phone. Same location in my house. Different times of day though. It kind of fucked with my head though because when the dress meme was going around I only saw it one color (though I don’t remember which it was).
It’s very noisy. In the sense of there being a lot of pixels that would make up either colors. Your eyes and brain try to make sense of the noise and “decide” what color it is. The strongest correlation that seems to exist is the time people get up in the morning. Early risers seem to see white more often, night owls have a tendency for blue. It might be caused by the amount of daylight vs. artificial light that people see throughout their waking hours.
Back when this went viral, I only saw white and gold. Then one moment it just sorta morphed into blue and black. Now I can’t turn it back to white and gold for the love of me.
Change your screen settings to be accurate instead of vivid it should show the correct colors. If you have a tn or really low quality v.A panel that might cause it.
Be the cause
I’m right there with you. I don’t doubt they are correct, but from the start, my brain has solidly decided to perceive it as white and gold. Cannot see blue anywhere no matter how much I try and force my brain to look for it.
It‘s the opposite with me, on my PC I saw it as black/blue, right now on Lemmy on my phone it can‘t be anything but gold/white. It must be the displays causing this ambiguity, no way human perception varies this much between a large set of people.
So people looking at this photograph actually can perceive this to be white and gold? thats utterly wild. And hard to believe.

I see it as white and gold unless I squeeze my eyes almost shut and then it looks blue.

It had a lot to do with low quality displays at the time and not necessarily people seeing it incorrectly.
I’ve been trying for the past minute and cannot see anything other than white and gold 🤷♂️

Right? Everyone has had eyes I guess.
You want wild? I see it white and gold in the PC, and blue and black(ish) on the phone.
