The question you must ask yourselves is if it is the reptilian eyes of the overlord invaders actually causing the difference in perception or not.

"Just read this:
Your eyes have retinas, the things that let you interpret color. There’s rods, round things, and cones that stick out, which is what gives your eye a textured appearance in the colored part. The “cones” see color. The “rods” see shade, like black, white and grey. Cones only work when enough light passes through. So while I see the fabric as white, someone else may see it as blue because my cones aren’t responding to the dim lighting. My rods see it as a shade (white). There’s three cones, small, medium and large. They are blue sensitive, green sensitive, and red sensitive.
As for the black bit (which I see as gold), it’s called additive mixing. Blue, green and red are the main colors for additive mixing. This is where it gets really tricky. Subtractive mixing, such as with paint, means the more colors you add the murkier it gets until it’s black. ADDITIVE mixing, when you add the three colors eyes see best, red, green and blue, (not to be confused with primary colors red, blue and yellow) it makes pure white.—Blue and Black: In conclusion, your retina’s cones are more high functioning, and this results in your eyes doing subtractive mixing.
—White and Gold: our eyes don’t work well in dim light so our retinas rods see white, and this makes them less light sensitive, causing additive mixing, (that of green and red), to make gold.
**** UPDATE to prove this theory I turned my phone brightness from the lowest to highest and saw it switching from white and gold (at the lowest) to light blue and darker gold (at the highest) meaning people that see blue and black are more sensitive to light (better eyesight and not looking at the sun like your moms told you)"

- It's blue and black no matter what. I honestly think your eyes aren't perfect. There's some defect that can't discern wheniCanHazQBN
- there's a light or a shadow hitting an object.iCanHazQBN
- No black!!! Just brownpango
- nah, ...what pango said.bklyndroobeki
- It's black. there is a light cast onto it. if you cannot discern this light, then you have an eye issue.iCanHazQBN

Depends if you've been outside in the natural sunshine or been in a dim room for a while (it's a light adjustment thing).

I don't get why everyone is going apeshit over this. To anyone who is seeing the dress as black and blue...do a screen capture and paste into PS, check the actual colors which are blueish white and gold. Does it still look blue or do your eyes adjust?
- not the point asshatset
- LOL, bluish-white is blue. this whole thing cracks me up... the fact remains the dress was in reality black and bluemonospaced
- lol, why is that not the point and why did that offend you?ukit2
- I'm not offended, haha. It's not the point because it's a fun perception thing, not a photoshop joy police thingset

Ok, fuck this dress. Saw it as white and gold last night, and early this morning (7:30 am or so). A co-worker came into to ask me about it 5 minutes ago, and I'm like "If you think that's blue and black, you're an idiot". Well, I look at his phone, and it's blue and black!!! Come back here, BLUE AND BLACK!!
Mind fuck indeed.

So many little logical mcscientists in this thread, lol.

I'm just genuinely curious if people still see it that way when compared to another color.
But whatever...continue for another 100 posts about how crazy the dress is :P
