• Two Years Later, We Finally Know Why People Saw “The Dress” Differently

(Indeed, most objects in any given field of view don’t move at all.) Color and lighting are no exception. The fabric of a dress nearly caused the fabric of the Internet to unravel Thursday night, with people engaged in spirited debate over the color of the $80 item, reports CBS News correspondent Elaine Quijano. In fact when you look at this for a while, look at the original and you’ll see it start to turn gold and white. Sellers looking to grow their business and reach more interested buyers can use Etsy’s advertising platform to promote their items. You’ll see ad results based on factors like relevancy, and the amount sellers pay per click. From handmade pieces to vintage treasures ready to be loved again, Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods.

Wallisch thinks morning people are more likely to see white and gold because they have the assumption bias that the world is illuminated by the sun instead of artificial lighting. This finding underlies the fact that we can’t always trust what we see; scientists have learned that when we visually perceive something, our brains fill in any gaps of information with what it already assumes is true. In the case of the dress, perceptions of illumination change our assumptions about color constancy, which can result in widely different opinions about how something can look. Long ago, way back in 2015, “the dress” became a polarizing viral behemoth. Like the Capulets and Montagues, the masses were split into two camps — those who looked at the dress and saw blue and black and the others who saw gold and white. They could not see eye to eye and frantically sought to understand why they saw one set of colors while others did not.

I then decided to focus really hard on the middle of the dress, despite being exhausted, and after a few seconds the dress slowly turned black and blue again. Then I let my eyes be tired, and after some time the dress became white and gold. Maybe this will inspire you to realize we all see things differently, in more ways than one.

Some people probably have such finely balanced assumptions that any number of factors could yield their percept to switch rapidly. They need to be found and studied in labs. He discovered that if people assumed the dress was lit by artificial light, they tended to think it was black and blue. However, if people believed the dress was just shadowed in natural light, they thought it was gold and white.

But experiencing it and seeing the white and gold as well, was eye opening. Wallisch came to this conclusion after surveying 13,000 study participants who claimed to have previously seen a photo of the infamous dress about how they thought it was illuminated. Wallisch found that people who thought the dress was in a shadow were more likely to think it was gold and white. Now, why would some people assume one set of lighting conditions and others a different one? That probably depends on the viewing history of the individual observer.

As the effect is subtle—really a proxy for illumination exposure history that cannot be expected to correlate perfectly, one should not expect this to hold for every individual observer. Even if someone spends most of their waking time at night, he or she might not use incandescent lighting. But on average, this group will be exposed to more incandescent light than the larks. The brain cannot be accused of epistemic modesty. It is well-known that in situations like this—where it faces profound uncertainty—it confidently fills in the gaps in knowledge by making assumptions. Usually, its assumptions are based on what it has most frequently encountered in the past.

It’s also home to a whole host of one-of-a-kind items made with love and extraordinary care. While many of the items on Etsy are handmade, you’ll also find craft supplies, digital items, and more. Found something you love but want to make it even more uniquely you? Many sellers on Etsy offer personalized, made-to-order items.

If you see white and gold your eyes don’t work very well in dim light so the retina rods see white making them less light sensitive which causes “addictive mixing” of green and red which make gold. All of this suggests that we need to change the way we do science. Civilization needs reliable, high-quality science to advance further.

Even outside of vision scientists, most people just assume everyone sees the world in the same way. Which is why it’s awkward when disagreements arise—it suggests one party either is ignorant, is malicious, has an agenda, or is crazy. We believe what we see with our own eyes more than almost anything else, which may explain the feuds that occurred when “the dress” first struck and science lacked a clear explanation for what was happening.

Remember, the dress is actually blue and black, though most people saw it as white and gold, at least at first. My research showed that if you assumed the dress was in a shadow, you were much more likely to see it as white and gold. Because shadows overrepresent blue light. Mentally subtracting short-wavelength light (which would appear blue-ish) from an image will make it look yellow-ish. Natural light has a similar effect—people who thought it was illuminated by natural light were also more likely to see it as white and gold. Because the sky is blue, daylight also overrepresents short wavelengths, compared with relatively long-wavelength artificial light.
