I'm going nutso! This is blowing up my Facebook. When I first glanced I saw white and gold and thought "How is this even a question?"

Then the longer I looked it turned into blue and black and now I can't "unsee" the blue! And it's a dark blue too!

Right!

I get the blue as I feel like the white is turned blue by the poor white balance. I cannot for the life of me see black though.

A lot of my FB friends have posted this. I see blue and black and so do most of my friends, but I don't get why this is all of a sudden going around the internet today.

I can see that the "black" is actually gold, but the rest looks - well, light blue. I wonder if the satin is picking up color from its surroundings, as a diamond might?

I totally saw white and gold at first. I could maybe see blue and black if I tilted my phone. But was positive it was white and gold. Then I saw the link to the stock dress above and I can't unsee it!!!

I also saw that those who see blue and black are supposedly better at adapting to dim lighting and more sensitive to light

Thank you Niel! You are not alone I feel like I'm losing my mind as well. My husband just walked in the room and he sees it as black and blue and looked at me like I have three heads when I said I see it white and gold. We are in the same room, looking at it in the same light.

For me, it depends on the position of my laptop screen. If the screen is upright, then I see white and gold. I guess that if it is upright, it is facing the light. If I recline the screen into dim lighting, I see blue and black. My hubby only sees white and gold, under both conditions.

I was in a dark room and yes, saw black and blue. I posted a link above explaining how the cones in our eyes are affected.

Seriously, the CB is like, "Um, honey, is there something I should know? Can I *help* you in some way?" I asked him what color the dress is and he refuses to answer. He thinks it's some sort of trick question and he said that no matter what he says he'll be in trouble so he's not playing. HA!

Blue and bronze? But it's not an option! I'd bet money on a pale purpley-blue with bronze coloured stripes.

My mom and my kids all see black and blue, and my DH and I see white and gold. I've tried every which way and I only see white and gold.
