The phenomenon revealed differences in human colour perception, which have been the subject of ongoing scientific investigations into neuroscience and vision science, producing a number of papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. “The Dress” was posted by Caitlin McNeil, who saw “the dress” photo from her friends and thought it was a white and gold dress. She saw the dress “obviously blue and black” in real life, and reposted the photo to ask the questions to her followers. On the same day, it went viral and led to further public discussion surrounding the image. “The Dress” is mentioned more than 10 million tweets within a week and covered by other social and mainstream media such as CNN, The Washington, New York Business Journal etc.
Some see blue and black stripes, others see white and gold stripes. Do the red lines on the left seem to be a lighter shade of red than the red lines on the right? We interpret the colors that way due to a phenomenon called the Bezoid Effect, which causes our perception of colors to be influenced by the colors surrounding them. You know, like the way certain blue and black dresses might appear to be different colors due to the white and gold tones in the background of the photo... But the blue and black dress is only the latest in a long line of optical illusions that have ruined lives, destroyed friendships, and inflamed all of our yelling-est emotions.
Everywhere you look, people seem to be debating an all-important question that has taken over Twitter
However, it seems unlikely that the strong S cone component determines the actual colors perceived. Finally, VEPs in response to onset presentation of the Dress showed comparable waveforms for BB and WG, but a prolonged latency to the positive peak for WG observers. This appears to be exactly what may be happening in the case of the famous color ambiguous dress! However, when some of us see the dress and our brain assumes that we are looking at it in daylight conditions and makes some adjustments to account for the color spectrum of the light source. For about half of us, the brain discounts the blue side of the light source, subtracting out the blue from the actual color of the dress so that we perceive the dress as white and gold. For the rest of us, the brain discounts the gold spectrum of the light, yielding a totally different perception of the dress as that of a blue and black dress.
In contrast with your your brown wood, it might look even more blue. It is false to claim that the colors you see show if you are left-brain or right-brain dominant. In a 2014 article for Discover Magazine, science writer Carl Zimmer wrote "no matter how lateralized the brain can get, the two sides still work together."
Is Color A Property Of Matter Or Generated In Our Brain?
"I was pretty gobsmacked. I just laughed and told the wife that I'd better get to work," he said. TV presenter Alex Jones wore the dress on that night's edition of The One Show. The dress was identified as a product of the retailer Roman Originals, which experienced a major surge in sales of the dress as a result of the incident. The retailer produced a one-off version of the dress in white and gold as part of a charity campaign.

She explained to the website that the confusion first began when her mum complimented her on her new "blue" shoes.

What does it mean if you see the dress as white and gold?
For neuroscientists like Bevil Conway, “The Dress” phenomenon marked the greatest extent of individual differences in color perception ever documented. Celebrities with larger Twitter followings began to weigh in overnight. Taylor Swift's tweet—which described how while she saw it as blue and black, the whole thing left her "confused and scared"—was retweeted 111,134 times and liked 154,188 times. Jaden Smith, Frankie Muniz, Demi Lovato, Mindy Kaling, and Justin Bieber agreed that the dress was blue and black, while Anna Kendrick, B. J. Novak, Katy Perry, Julianne Moore, and Sarah Hyland saw it as white and gold. Kim Kardashian tweeted that she saw it as white and gold, while her husband Kanye West saw it as blue and black.
