Sorry Rik, I've seen that differrence of opinion expressed in our living room. It's exactly as shown on the BBC film report - people see the different colours.
Why not ask people in your own home?

I have, Paul.
And no-one in our house has what might be called poor eyesight, or colour blindness.
And no-one wears glasses.
And the age ranges from 25 to 60.
All agree, when viewing the same image, that the colours are the same as what everyone else sees.
I shall finish in this topic, by posting my Blue and Black phone I just purchased.

The mystery continues then.
Rik, where did you get that Turquoise phone from?
The phone is dark blue. Anyone can see that. No?
I hate to break it to you guys but I know for a fact that there were different images circulated, with different light levels. A brilliant piece of marketing which has seen massive interest in the dress and the design label. I visited a marketing company which we are working with and they were discussing this and how to use this type of marketing for some campaigns they were working on. The really funny thing is that there are people out there convinced that some people see blue and some white.

Yes, and I'm one of them.
Then I suppose the marketing has worked. There are three images; the so called white and gold, the lighter blue and brownish black and the real image.

Yes, the three of us looking at the one image, with two opinions, were swayed by the marketing.
The two guys in the BBC report standing near each other looking at an image on an iPad were also swayed by the marketing when they decided the colours were differrent.
