The illusion that ruined friendships since 11 years ago.

Do you still see the dress as having the same colors as you first see it, or are the colors changing to you? I always see it as black and blue, and no matter what I do, I can't have my eyeballs see it as white and gold.

When I linked to it a few days ago, it looked blue/black to me. Later that day (and still currently as of writing), I see white/gold. I think the same thing happened when I first ran into it but that was too long ago for me to be sure.

    This happens to me too. I think it's related to my surroundings. Like in a sunlit room it looks white+golden, but in a shadowy room the white becomes blueish and in artificially lit rooms the gold becomes black. Maybe it deoends on light intensity, as the sun is much stronger than regular LED bulbs.
