I don't think people are looking at it under the right lighting conditions.
Here's what it really looks like.

Rik , yours may be multi-coloured, but the one I and my wife see is white and gold. Our children see blue and black.

Here's the original image.
Are you saying that your children see blue and black, in this image???

[pauland]

They do!

Then, I know your children are going to love my new Blue & Black phone.

White and gold. I can't even believe that anyone can see blue and black but I am obviously wrong. Is it a youth thing? Has too much high fructose corn sweetener caused young person's eyes to see negative images?

(Nice one Rik, psychedelic dress)

I thought it might be age related, but this report shows three young guys disagreeing.

I showed the image to my son and daughter last night. They thought I was crazy to think it was white and gold. They thought I was even crazier when I suggested the jacket was white.

I see it as a Blue & Black dress and I'm 67 so I don't think it's age related. The science puts it down to the ambient lighting which I can understand, but when it's the same photo (ie not the dress in the real world under different lighting) then why do some see it as White & Gold?
