Proof we're in the Matrix?
The colors of this photo will appear different to everyone. I think?

It changes just tilt the device you are using or move to a different angle from the monitor and watch the transition.
It's a cool illusion.

I've been taking into account the horrible quality of the picture (it's way overexposed) and the intense lighting right above the dress, and I've seen it as being a blue and black dress this whole time. I can see the brownish tinge on the black parts and can attribute that to both the lighting and the white balance of the camera. I'm kind of baffled at people seeing the blue parts as white. Maybe they think it's outdoors or something.

I saw it as white and gold at first but when you shrink or zoom up in the original over-exposed photo it instantly goes to black and blue to me. Fucking creepy.

I see both at various angles, distances and lightings, so I dunno!

The one on the right is black and white, still not blue.
The photo of the dress shows the colours white (or a pale blue) and gold. It's a scientific fact.
However if I squint at it or if I look at it in my periphery it becomes black/royal blue.
Guess it has something to do with rods and cones, and the amount of light getting in everyone's eyes.

White and Gold.
When I go to lowest brightness and turn my screen away from the light I can see how someone can get black and blue though.

I looked at this thread earlier and it was White/Gold to me. Saw it on Reddit a few minutes ago and it was Blue/Black and I was wondering WTF happened so I checked this thread and now it's Blue/Black....

Blue and black my ass. I don't care what color the real dress is "supposed" to be. The colors in the picture are not blue and black.
Yaaaaay!

Not trolling, I literally see white and gold.

Even xkcd is getting in on it.

I see the blue, definitely, but not the black. That is clearly gold. Dark gold, but not remotely black.
Obviously it appears the original dress is indeed black and blue and this is the result of a bad photo but the photo has no black in it, dammit.

I'm convinced the Blue & Black people have shitty monitors, since many of them report it turning blue when scrolling down, or when looking at it from a different angle.

I used to see white and gold. However I focused my eyes on the bottom half of the dress without looking at the sun and now I see the black and blue. It's because of the lighting that is throwing so many people off.

I believe you now. Called my mom over and she sees white and gold.
I have a pretty nice monitor bro. I see nothing but blue and black from the beginning.
