Holy fuck I am so tired of this stupid shit. Is this ATOT or Twitter for 11-year-olds?

If you're seeing blue and black, you're some kind of retarded.

If you're posting this picture all over the internet, you're like super saiyan retarded.

Wow. So I rotated my iPad so that I'm viewing it at an extreme angle and all of the sudden I see blue and black. Rotate it so that I'm facing it head on and it's back to white and gold again.

For the people seeing white, what are you seeing with the black and white garments in the background? (look to the lower left).

That's what's making me go WTF because that serves as a frame of reference so what are you seeing there if you see the dress as white and gold?

this is BS. I saw this on FB on my phone earlier and it was white/gold, no ifs ands or buts. I open THIS thread now, an hour later on my desktop and it's blue/black, clear as day. I go back to my FB on my phone and it's blue on there now too. I don't even...

I see blue and brown. Kind of a mustard yellow/brown. And the blue is kinda of a ... Light blue. Periwinkle?
No white. No black.

Haha, wow yeah that's got to fuck with your brain.

Seems that once people see it a certain way where it shows blue, it then becomes blue when seeing it the way they did before. It's like there's some sort of retardation happening. :awe:

The colors of this dress are as follows:
1. African American that just doesn't care
2. Caucasian turning blue due to holding his breath because people are disagreeing with him.

- or -

There is only 1 color to this dress:

The internet is completely useless today because of you people. Go back to quietly reading Buzzfeed and leave the grownups alone.

And any way you go about it, there are sections of yellow/brown in that image, and if you see it as black, you're blind as shit and need to not be doing complex tasks like driving cars or walking.

I think blue as a color is particularly susceptible to this phenomenon, by the way, probably something to do with how the brain searches and interprets blue in order to identify water sources at a distance.

Also, no one really knows what the heck some shades of colors like "cerulean" are, which is why it's defined a bunch of ways unless you look at what some standards body says.

What color is the background in my avatar :D (okay, that's an easy one...)

Black and blue. I have no doubt others can be seeing seeing white and gold.

Kinda like the spinning clockwise / counterclockwise ballerina (except I can make her spin both ways; can't seem to unsee the blue/black in the dress)

Reminds me of the negative afterimage "optical illusions" online. I can see it both ways, depending on what I focus on before looking at it.
