The DRESS thread

This one gold and white but on tv it was blue and black. The dress is actually blue apparently.

Simple ... it's not the same dress :shrugs:

Of course, it's several different dresses with creases in exactly the same position. :lol:

I think it's on ebay for sale so I'm going to check it out to see what is said on there.

I can actually change the colour of it from white/gold to black/blue by squinting my eyes and staring at it but I can't change it the other way.

Yes you can, stop squinting. It also works if you form a "tunnel" with your hand and watch the dress through the tiny hole you've formed.

If anyone is interested in how humans and other animals perceive color, here is a podcast from Radiolab that discuss light and its relationship with color, what color is and where it comes from, how animals see color and why some animals can see colors we can't begin to imagine, modern treatments and research regarding color blindness, and the evolution of our brain, including how humans during the time period of Ancient Greece had not yet evolved enough to see the color blue.

For some reason my phone isn't letting me paste the link, I'll share it when I get home in an hour. It's a really fascinating episode!
