I am team white and gold, or at least I was last night. I showed it to my husband and 4 year old this morning and both instantly said blue and black. Crazy stuff.

Ever occur to any of you morons that the picture which came to you electronically might have a glitch? Or you think the glitch is in your brain?

No, not something this widespread.

Okay this is my post and an hour and a half later I saw it again. It's now a cornflower blue with dark goldish lace. This is freaky!

If you go to the photo at 11:20--

scroll down the image very, very slowly and the dress looks white and gold, until you get close to the bottom. Then it looks black and blue.

If you scroll upwards very slowly, it starts off looking black and blue, until you've revealed most of the dress. I think it's that big blob of white space on the right that throws off your eyes, making it seem white and gold (at least to a lot of people).

I've seen it both ways. Which I don't understand.

Try looking at it in daylight with sunglasses on to get the black/blue.

today I can see it in black/blue on my computer screen. However last night I saw it as white and gold. ??

First I saw white and gold, no question. Then I showed it to DH who immediately said blue and black. I told him he was crazy, he said the same to me, so we printed the original picture. After printing it clearly looks blue/black. Scrolling did alter how I viewed it at well.

It's a trick, come on people.

On the tv this morning, it was blue and black. In the picture in the OP's link, it looks white (or possibly pale blue) and gold.

If you watch the first episode of Brain Games on Netflix it explains how this type of illusion works. Really interesting!

I see white/gold no matter what I do with squinting, bottom to top, lighting, etc. Just showed to 5yo DS and he said blue & black. Crazy!
