For you, the XKCD one isn't extreme enough to push you in different directions. Interestingly high level intrepretation has a big part. I can't cite anything but I can give a personal anecdote. The other day I saw an odd green thing on the floor in my hotel room. It was actually my backpack lit with green tinged light, but was crumpled in an odd shape so I couldn't tell what it was.

Rather than seeing the color of the dress itself as either white or blue with gold or black trim, the participants reported seeing a spectrum of shades from light blue to dark blue, with yellow/gold to dark brown/black trim, the researchers found. Nonetheless, when the dress color was a certain brightness, the participants deemed it "white," and when it was below that brightness, they called it "blue." Because of the deeper blue hue, the brain sees the blue half as white and the black part as gold. People who perceive the right black and blue may be seeing the outfit under artificial, yellow-lit lighting.

What is the real color of the blue and black dress?

Artificial lights are used in many situations where there is not enough sunlight for comfort or safety. In museums, theaters, and other such places with lots of visitors, it is necessary to use light bulbs because natural light is dimmed by people walking around. Even on a sunny day, light bulbs are needed in offices and factories at night so that workers can see what they are doing. The color of these lights does not matter as long as they provide sufficient light.

Observers with denser macular pigment tend to see the Dress as WG while those with less dense pigment see BB. This suggests that greater pre-retinal absorption of short-wavelength light may predispose observers to see WG vs. BB. Additionally, colorimetric analyses, coupled with renderings of the dress without input from L or M cones, indicate a strong role of S cone input in perception of the Dress.

Even if the sandals in question have no glitter, crystals, or other glamorous accessories, black will offer a modest yet sleek outlook on your outfit. Mr. Johnson wouldn’t specify how many of the dresses Roman Originals has sold since the company was identified as its manufacturer, but he said the dress was responsible for 60 percent of the company’s business on Friday. Demand for the dress has been high, to say the least, since Ms. McNeill’s post went viral.

You can think of it all hinging on the blue/white stripes. Not trolling - I really cannot see this as white in any circumstances, even the XKCD "color balanced" bit I still see it as blue . Worryingly, that means that only about a quarter of the people around me are actually human.

At its peak, more than 670,000 people were simultaneously viewing Buzzfeed’s post. Between that and the rest of Buzzfeed’s blanket coverage of the dress Thursday night, the site easily smashed its previous records for traffic. Within a half-hour, her post attracted some 500 likes and shares. The photo soon migrated to Buzzfeed and Facebook and Twitter, setting off a social media conflagration that few were able to resist.

NSF supported this work with $324,060 awarded in 2011. People who saw the dress couldn't seem to decide in an epic optical illusion.The BuzzFeed article exploded with more than 38 million readers arguing over the dress' colors . Penzo told ABC News that the jacket is actually baby blue and white, but still took to Tumblr to enlist the help of the social media users. The bride then posted the picture on Facebook, and her friends continued to debate the color of the dress. Two women are behind the viral dress that has everyone confused. Here's what they told us.The picture was initially posted on Tumblr by a 21-year-old singer named Caitlin McNeill who lives on the tiny Scottish island of Colonsay.

This might explain why green, which is a protective color for plants, is seen by many people as white or pale colored when exposed to sunlight. The blue and black dress illusion is one of the most famous optical illusions of all time. The dress, which appeared on the internet in February 2015, became an overnight sensation, with people arguing over whether the dress was blue and black, or white and gold. The illusion is thought to occur because the human brain interprets colors differently in different lighting conditions. The Journal of Vision, a scientific journal about vision research, announced in March 2015 that a special issue about the dress would be published with the title A Dress Rehearsal for Vision Science. The first large-scale scientific study on the dress was published in Current Biology three months after the image went viral.
