I did the brightness change on the iPad and saw blue all the way through. Now I have to wait to get home to see if it's the same for the N7.

Ya, its goldish if you cherrypick that one section at the top. The rest is clearly black.
Cropped in Photoshop the supposed white part for sure looks blue, but it sure as heck isn't super dark blue.
The gold part doesn't look black though. Dark Gold? Sure!

Everyone seeing it as white and gold has bad color reception?
Good thing I see it as blue and black

People who see blue/black can probably tell you its brownish up top due to the lighting. It's definitely darker grey/black near the bottom.
It's the White/Gold who are aliens

Cool beans. For the dude saying it's a calibration issue, I don't think so. On my shitty TN panel Laptop, I still see blue/brown-gold/black. Even with TN color shift, even at low brightness. I honestly believe it's about the blue cones like the explanation in the OP.
color optical illusions are broken by using a color picking tool. if you do that you get gold to brown but not black.
lord knows whats going on in the brains of those that see black.

Last night, I saw white & gold, this morning I see white & gold.
My roommate didn't see it last night, but this morning, he says it's dark blue & black. I told him most people are seeing it as white & gold. He thinks they're insane, "WHAT! How can anyone possibly think that's white?"

I saw this thread just when I woke up and it looked white & gold. Now it's black & blue, weeeird.
Eh, seeing that is pretty much proof that the white balance is just completely off. The blue version is much more true to nature and sharper to the eye than the other two. The picture is just yellow shifted to hell.

Most people in this thread have shitty cones and their eyes aren't working properly.

Where does the black come into play? I only saw light blue and light brown(yellow tint), to darkish brown(orange tint).
This picture had me so baffled I even had to check it with colour picker.
If you do a gamma correction, you will get this.
My brain hurts...

Don't think it has anything to do with the retina or the eye. Maybe we should do that one color placing test with all the gradients, and then have people post their score and what they see in the picture, see if there's a correlation.
Anybody know that one test with the bars of gradients, each divided up in blocks that you have to put in the right position?
It's blue, you're an alien.

My conclusion is that this image is one part Photoshop trickery and one part interpretation on how people see colors and has nothing to do with how good or bad ones eye sight actually is.
I see (or interpret the colors as) white and gold, my co-worker sees (or interprets it as) blue and black.
We discussed it and came to the conclusion that yes, there is a sense of white/blue in that blue/white parts, as well as a bit of yellow/black in the black/yellow parts.
Then we closed Photoshop and came to our final conclusion that viral images are full of shit.

Still white and gold baby. I'm probably one of the few that it hasn't switched on yet.
Here's a new image that should show the two different interpretations quite clearly. I've only played around with white balance and exposure, no other color alterations.
But the one on the left has no black, it's still clearly gold.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
It's already been confirmed that the dress is physically blue, though....
Bwahahaha!

Interesting Wired article.
I see it as white but with a light blue tint caused by what I think is shadow. Apparently my brain is simply attributing the color as an illuminate, not the actual color of dress. So my brain is telling me "this is a white dress turned away from the light to show a blueish shadow as it's dark.
But in reality it's a blue dress without an illuminate.

I only see it black and blue now!
You're fixed!

It's a shitty jpg of a shitty image, so it doesn't actually contain all the data to recreate the correct image. Some parts of the dress is still incorrectly exposed and balanced, but that looks more like a velvet black than gold to me.

I see black and blue for both of these images, the one on the right is just overexposed.
I saw white and gold about half an hour ago pm the OP.

if it was as light as the one on the right sure I would agree that its white, but it isnt. Its much darker.

When I still saw it as white/gold, the blue was way lighter, to the point it's hard to tell if it was blue and more white. The black was definitely more yellowish. Background was the same.

Since I used to be a white/gold person don't worry, I'll hide as many of you in my attic as I can during the coming purge.
