The dress is a bistable picture, similar to the Spinning Dancer, which you can consciously reverse the direction of spin with some practice.

To see the dress as blue-black, I first look at the black dress in the bottom-left corner, then shift gaze to the main dress when colour is established.

To see the dress as white-gold, I first look at the sunny regions on the right, then move gaze across, when the main dress goes to white-gold.

• It may help to cover or mask the opposite region, when focusing on one side.

• For detail, 10 years ago I saw this as white-gold and did not change from that perception. Did not know what all the fuss was about this dress. Today, I saw it as white-gold initially, but 10 minutes later, after two friends saw it as blue-black, I also saw it as blue-black and could not shake it.

I still only see white/gold even though the actual dress was black/blue

ARE YOU FR? WHO REMEMBERES THIS? IS THIS A SARCASTIC POST??? SAY SIKE OP

It's pale blue and gold, right?

This is flicking between white and gold and black and blue each time I scroll past it.

it was obviously blue and yellow.

Ten years? I remember clearly that I argued about this on my friends mailing list

color constancy was not "first investigated" just ten years ago.

I see it obviously blue black, but I have some specific accessibility related colour filters on my screen that might influence this.

The blue of the dress is pretty obvious, the black details are a different, golden hue due to ambient light. I "know" it's black, but it looks dark gold

It's strange. I'm wearing sunglasses right now and it looks white and gold but when I take them off it looks blue and black.

I stuck my foot in my mouth about this dress. It was about a year later, and I didn't realize it had been proven to be black and blue, and I said something snarky when someone I liked said it was black and blue. I was so sure it was gold and white, I made an ass of myself.

I can sort of change it. Probably just my TN monitor though.

everyone's wrong, gold and baby blue

The lighter color looks like a blue-ish white, but I can't see anything other than gold for the stripes.
