Some people have suggested that the dress changes colours on its own. Media outlets noted that the photo was overexposed and had poor white balance, causing its colours to be washed out, giving rise to the perception by some that the dress is white and gold rather than its actual colours. After disagreements over the perceived colour of the dress in the photograph, the bride posted the image on Facebook, and her friends also disagreed over the colour; some saw it as white with gold lace, while others saw it as blue with black lace. For a week, the debate became well known in Colonsay, a small island community. But that still doesn't explain why some people's brains assume the lighting is one way and some assume the opposite. The lighting of the image, which has a bluish tint, appears to be what is throwing people's brains off.

"It became clear that the appropriate point in the image to balance from is the black point," Harris says. This is because people tend to think visually before making a decision about what they see. Our eyes are able to assign fixed colors to objects under widely different lighting conditions. But the photograph doesn’t give many clues about the ambient light in the room. Or is the whole room bright and all the colors are washed out? Different people may pick up on different visual cues in the image, which can change how they interpret and name the colors.

Different perspectives, different facets of the same diamond, in the end we have to decide if we want to be blue black or white gold or just enjoy the dress. At Wired, Adam Rogers breaks down the physical science of why some people see the dress as white-gold while others see blue-black. It has to do with which source of light your eye wants to subtract from the image — a common and necessary event that allows us to see one individual color from the full spectrum contained in a beam of light.

It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries. A woman grew up without her left temporal lobe, which highlights how amazingly plastic the brain is. Lewinsky was a White House intern has one blue dress been the source of so much consternation.

Jenna Bromberg, senior digital brand manager for Pizza Hut, saw the dress as white and gold and quickly sent out a tweet with a picture of pizza noting that it, too, was the same colours. Do called it "literally a tweet heard around the world". Because of the deeper blue hue, the brain sees the blue half as white and the black part as gold.

The reason a colour may look different in a photograph than it is in real life is down to the colour temperature in the environment when you were taking the picture. The dress may have appeared blue with the colour cast, but after white balance it can appear white. These areas are thought to be critical in higher cognition activities. Lacking L or M cones has minimal impact on perceived dress colors while a lack of S cones yields a very different perception suggesting a primary role of the S cone input in perception of the Dress. And for those who swear gold and white is right, you're likely seeing the photo as under-exposed, Garg said, "meaning there is too little light and the colors in the dress appear lighter to you after the retina has compensated." Generally, we humans tend to have a lower concentration of rods than we do of cones.

The science behind the dress colour illusion

What strikes Brainard as particularly odd about all of this is that while after seeing most optical illusions, people are typically able to force themselves to switch back and forth between one interpretation and another. Once you've seen both the face and the vase, you can make yourself see either one. 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. But we can reveal the dress which is by British brand Roman Originals is actually black and blue. “When I first saw it I wasn't sure and swayed between blue and white.

Cones are responsible for day vision and color perception. At the same time, the way the dress is captured on camera could also be playing a significant role in this debate. According to Science Daily, humans are blessed with something called color constancy, which means that while color should be easily identifiable whether you’re in bright or dull lighting, things can change if the lighting is colored. An optical illusion is something that plays tricks on your vision.

White and Gold/Blue and Black Dress?

So when context varies, so will people's visual perception. "Most people will see the blue on the white background as blue," Conway says. "But on the black background some might see it as white." He even speculated, perhaps jokingly, that the white-gold prejudice favors the idea of seeing the dress under strong daylight. "I bet night owls are more likely to see it as blue-black," Conway says. We have three types of cones, each tuned to pick up green, red, or blue wavelengths of light. When light hits our eyes, the receptors turn these colors into electrical signals that are sent to the brain.

That means that looking at the picture on your phone or on your computer or on your extra monitor can completely change the way it looks. The resolution and the color calibration can create huge visual differences. It racked up more than 20 million views on Buzzfeed, became the number one trend on Twitter and drew a deep divide in some relationships -- even celebrities joined in.
