    I remember seeing different colors on different screens, so I think part of the perception difference are the saturation and brightness settings of your screen

    Yeah that definitely has an influence as well. If I tilt my screen I can make it more blue and black, but straight on it's white and gold.

      The dress is a bistable picture, similar to the Spinning Dancer, which you can consciously reverse the direction of spin with some practice.

      To see the dress as blue-black, I first look at the black dress in the bottom-left corner, then shift gaze to the main dress when colour is established.

      To see the dress as white-gold, I first look at the sunny regions on the right, then move gaze across, when the main dress goes to white-gold.

      • It may help to cover or mask the opposite region, when focusing on one side.

      • For detail, 10 years ago I saw this as white-gold and did not change from that perception. Did not know what all the fuss was about this dress.
        Today, I saw it as white-gold initially, but 10 minutes later, after two friends saw it as blue-black, I also saw it as blue-black and could not shake it.

        The "color" of a thing is pure perception and often just a genuine personal choice.

        It is annoying to think about it like that, but consider:

        A movie projected onto a white canvas. Before the movie starts, there is no light projecting onto it and it's just the white canvas.

        The movie opening credit comes on. "ALIEN" it says in thin white letters on black background. The projector does not darken the canvas, just add some lines of light forming letters in the middle. Yet we see black.

        Is the canvas black or white now? If do when did it change? Is it both? How would you describe that?

        People give many answers to this. Most of them based on choice of definition more than objective observation, which I find super interesting.

              ITT: people telling other people they're trolling rather than accepting that humans can perceive reality differently, and the own perception is never objective.

                          Ok this one is crazy, because I hear whatever I’m consciously thinking of. “Brainstorm”, “green needle”, “brain needle”, “green storm”. It’s actually tripping me out.

                          Btw I still hear “laurel” every time. I can hear “yanny” in the background if I really focus, but I always hear “laurel” as well.

                            white and gold doesn't suddenly become blue and black...

                            This dress is blue and black 🙄

                            The whole argument around it is not how we perceive it but how camera perceived it in a flawed lighting condition.

                            That's like taking a shitty 2 Mpix photo with a potato from 2003 and truncate it to 8 bits and then claim broccoli is fucking blue because the camera had no fucking concept of a tone mapping or color temperature and captured it as blue.

                            Also if you put color picker on it it'll be in the white spectrum and barely register a mild hint of blue. And if the dress was blue, then you're one shitty ass photographer and has nothing to do with our actual eyes. You can make a blue dress look almost white. Anyone who ever had aquarium with beautiful metallic blue fish and used wrong lighting and turned them into bland beige silver color will know what I'm talking about.

                                  I hear it as "Yammi" and see the dress as light blue and gold.

                                  Of course, both are the only objectively correct answers 😉

                                    Not even the brighter version looks white and gold to me. It's so obviously blue and black, y'all are insane.

                                      No, two people can be looking at the same screen and perceive it differently.

                                        i hear Laurel at high volumes and Yanny at low volumes, and if i turn down/up the volume little by little i can hear the same one across all volumes ( brain resets after a few seconds of not listening)

                                          It's not as simple as that. There actually is a human perception element. Take a copy and ask a few people what they see. Even while you are all looking at the exact same thing, people can disagree. It can even happen to you where the colours flip.
