Maybe I'm strange but although it's obviously gold, it isn't white, it's a pale violet with the gold.

I'm team gold and white and even with squinting my eyes and reading the explanation, I cannot fathom how it can be perceived as blue and black. Which section is blue in that scenario? I'm assuming the lighter sections? I want to be the person who sees things differently, but alas, I'm with the majority.

Great reading recs, by the way. I'm currently listening to The Historian, which I'm 99% sure you recommended.

One of my all time faves!! Let me know what you think.

Obviously white and gold, until I look up the reason people see it differently and now it is 100% blue and black. I was able to introduce my kids to this phenomenon and to my delight they saw it differently from me and we had a great time debating it.

Fascinating! Glad to pass it on to another generation.

This dress always makes me feel like I'm losing my mind because on some devices I see blue/black and on others I see white/gold. Live Science did a really interesting look at why people see different colors: https://www.livescience.com/50842-dress-debate-color-perception.html

One vote for blue and black.

Traffic sounds spectacular! I think the dress and llama day was the last good day of the social internet.

It's really interesting. I had forgotten about the llamas until I read it. What a great day for the internet.

I'm with you, team white and gold.
