What color is the dress?
Method of Madness:
Of a sort.
Is it cold in here?:

Sure, it looks less intensely blue with the dark blue background, but it doesn't look white to me. I even went to the length of filling in the burned-out highlight areas in the photo with the dark blue Randall Munroe uses, and the dress still looks blue! This debate makes me think I'm going potty.

Being invulnerable to illusion seems like it ought to be a good thing from a Buddhist's point of view.
Loki:
Akima, if it makes you feel better, I cannot really see it either.

Method of Madness:
On the contrary, you can see what's actually there. I wish I could.

The one on the right is black and royal blue. There isn't any white. I can understand how people are messing up the one on the left, but the one on the right is the actual color. I guess your brain is trying to fill in the gaps using the incorrect colors?
