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.

This is a true semantic nightmare when you think about it.
"What colors do you see?" vs "What color is the dress?" are such different things.

I agree with the general view here, it should NOT have been on the news etc. There are much important matters to cover, however please don't let a dress stress you out :)

I don't get it.

I find the question a bit misleading as well.
Instead of asking what colour do you see in the photo in the dress. They asked 2 set of colour.
Especially WHEN THERES NO WHITE OR BLACK SHOWN ONTHE DRESS IN THE PHOTO!!

- some brains see the scene with natural light (yellow) and others see it in fluorescent light (blue)HijoDMaite

"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 its black. ADDITIVE mixing, when you add the three colors the 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."
And this user says he turned his phone's brightness from low to high and saw the colors switching.
So give that a shot, maybe.
