My current feeling about this:
It's blue and black, it's always been blue and black, I feel pity for anyone who doesn't see that.
However, I'm just super excited that a dress broke the internet without having Kim Kardashian inside of it.

I've decided.CecilDissidiaModel.png He's wearing black and blue.
It's just gone back to white and gold for me! I know nobody else but me cares but that's cool!
I was mighty confused when I woke up today because there was all this talk of a dress everywhere and some people were claiming it's white and gold, which was bizarre to me because it clearly was not so! But then I read about it and it's actually intriguing that there can be such radical shifts in perception based on a handful of seemingly trivial factors.
Reading about this and learning about the science behind it is super cool. This is my favorite "meme" in forever. Can we have more like this? I want a Neato Optical Illusion of the Day.
If I stare REAL HARD I can make white/gold turn into blue/black.
My eyes will fail even faster after all this.
It's obviously, objectively blue/black in "reality." If you see it as white/gold, I'm pretty sure it means your brain doesn't correctly process the way that color and light work in photos.
I mean, the color displayed at the very top, for instance is "gold." Because that's how black looks in bright yellow, overexposed light. So when you see that it's dark "gold" and that everything else is overexposed, you make the natural adjustment and realize "in reality, this is black." Of course, nothing is "true black" in reality; but it's as black as anything else you call black.
The blue ... this one truly makes no sense to me, it's blue both in actual palette and in light-adjusted reality, even the photo alterations that try to "whiten" it still typically leave it a little blue.
Now I see blue and gold I don't know what is happening
