Was anyone ever able to see it as both like one of those perspective illusions? I can only see it as white and gold.
It was white and gold when I opened the post. I use dark mode in Lemmy. Then I opened Wikipedia and read about it for a few minutes in light mode. When I came back, the dress was black and blue suddenly.
I can't usually switch it on command, but it does switch for me.
And as of posting this and looking at Lemmy in dark mode, it's white and gold again.....
....and now it's blue and brown.
ive seen it as both. it depends on several factors (brightness of screen, environment, eyes). basically how your eye adapts with the picture.
the picture was taken with the perfect conditions in order for the problem to be a real problem (lit dress with an overly blown out background light) to cause eye adaption to trigger for some and not others.
I've never seen it as anything but white and gold.
Try squinting. I see white and gold normally but blue and black when I squint.
I cannot at all see the white. I can see it as blue and gold (from the top) but from the bottom, it definitely looks more like black and blue to me.
It's weird, back when this was trending, I always saw it as white and gold, but, looking at the picture above on my phone, it does kinda look blue and black
I constantly switch between seeing both.
I just forced myself to. Kinda turned my phone away at an angle and tried covering the right side of the pic and forced myself to see it as blue and black. Then I couldn't stop seeing it unless I did a mental reset.
I'm also focusing on the bottom half of the dress.
I’ve seen both. The first time, the colors changed as I was looking at it. That was freaky
Few times it literally changed as I was looking at it, from top to bottom
