It’s white and gold until you do the ice-bucket challenge, then it’s blue and black.

Wait

Until now I always saw this dress as blue and black

Can this change ????

This is why "eye witness testimony" can never be trusted. People with fucked up physiology just tumbling through life and not even realizing that their color wheel is off by magnitudes, and that cilantro is delicious.

I could understand gold, but where the hell do you see white on this picture?

The "color" of a thing is pure perception and often just a genuine personal choice.

It is annoying to think about it like that, but consider:

A movie projected onto a white canvas. Before the movie starts, there is no light projecting onto it and it's just the white canvas.

The movie opening credit comes on. "ALIEN" it says in thin white letters on black background. The projector does not darken the canvas, just add some lines of light forming letters in the middle. Yet we see black.

Is the canvas black or white now? If do when did it change? Is it both? How would you describe that?

People give many answers to this. Most of them based on choice of definition more than objective observation, which I find super interesting.

I can see the blue and black clearly when i tilt the phone screen away from my face... I always see white and gold first, even though I know it isn't.
