What color is the dress?
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
And nobody has yet been capable of altering that picture to make me see white and gold. This might just be proof that there is no objective reality here.

Method of Madness:
Is that really from the dress itself? Because that's blue, but I scroll up and the dress is still white and gold. Argh.

--- Quote from: pwhodges on 01 Mar 2015, 11:52 ---Why? It's not that clear cut, because the brain can do some colour-temperature processing and correction of its own. In the case of this bad photo, the cues for doing that are ambiguous, so some people's processing enables them to reach the blue and black of the dress, while other people's leaves them with the white (with a hint of blue) and gold that are actually the colours in the photo.

The bold part is what makes it interesting though. I want to know why some people's brains process it one way and other people's brains process it another. What's different in our brains?
pwhodges:
Most of what the brain does in processing what we see is learnt in infancy!
