I've been doing white balancing and level adjustments on my photos for over 20 years now. The dress as shown in the photo is white/gold (actually more of a light-blue/gold). You can confirm this with eyedropper measurements in Photoshop. The question is what we see in the photo, not what the dress ACTUALLY is- we can't know that because all we are allowed to see is a PHOTO of the dress, not the actual dress. And it is obvious the camera white balance and exposure is way off, trying to compensate for something, resulting in a photo with a probably very false representation.
So we can recognize the same objects in different light conditions, our brains tweak the way we see things, he added. Shown here are people's different perceptions of the colors in "the dress." "In effect, we are studying how people relearn to use their vision as it progressively decays," he says. "What I would suggest is happening is that you are gathering information unconsciously as to where the lighting is," he says. "The information in the picture is ambiguous. People arrive at different interpretations of the lighting in the scene and how light flows...to the dress and eventually the eye.
How You Change
My first reaction was like, “Well it’s just a white and gold dress. After reviewing several posts I realized not all the people think it’s a white and gold dress. I'm not a relativist; I'm not saying there is no way the world is. There are definite facts about the world and they are discoverable. The only thing that is blue and black or white and gold is people's experiences. I think this dress caused a sensation on social media because it was something that we never seen before and also that people in families see black and blue and the others of that family see gold or white.
Dressgate#2015 is undeniable evidence for your fallacy. For the situations where different people are looking at the same screen or printed photograph, my guess is that the variability comes from the color/brightness/etc sensitivity of their eyes. For example, in my own eyes, one of them sees the wall in a brighter shade of white than the other eye. Perhaps those who aren't as sensitive to blue might see the blue/white part of the dress as a shade of white, and call it white. He has also published on motion perception, color perception, texture perception, visual imagery and theoretical approaches to perception.
What Colour Is This Dress? (SOLVED with SCIENCE)
The BuzzFeed article exploded with more than 38 million readers arguing over the dress’ colors . It reported a million hits on its sales site in the first 18 hours following the photo's worldwide distribution. A new study describes how a 'smart home' prototype may help people with dementia dress themselves through automated assistance, enabling them to maintain independence and dignity and providing their ... Here at Slightly Blue, this gorgeous, calming color has all kinds of effects on us. We love the color blue for its ability to evoke all kinds of emotions in us. As we like to say, there is a shade of blue for any way you feel.
There is an entire subfield of psychology called sensation and perception, within which vision scientists vastly outnumber the researchers who devote their studies to the other senses. On 3 March, the Johnstons, Bleasdale, and MacNeill appeared as guests on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in the United States. There's a scientific explanation for why #TheDress looks black and blue to some people and white and gold to the others. A third study, conducted by researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno, recruited 87 college students and asked them to name the colors of the dress. About the same number of participants reported seeing it as white/gold as blue/black . Their findings, detailed on May 14 in the journal Current Biology, suggest the difference in perceived color has to do with how the brain perceives colors in daylight.

According to the most recent internet sources, it now appears the dress really is blue and black. The mystery may be solved, but the fascination with how we all see the dress differently continues. Kim Kardashian, never one to miss a trending topic, reported she was seeing gold. For example, if you stare at a gray object and make the gray increasingly yellow or blue, then you’re more likely to see the object as yellow than as blue. This difference likely comes from how the eye evolved in the presence of natural lighting from the sun and the sky. Gegenfurtner’s team also found that all of the colors observed in “The Dress” correspond very closely to those found in daylight, adding support to the theory that how the eye interprets natural sunlight is what triggered #Dressgate 2015.
Even after they've adjusted to the ambient light, the brain appears to stick to the image it created initially. The findings were published in the journalCurrent Biologywhich suggested the perceived difference in the color was directly related to how our brains perceive colors in daylight. At this point it appears to be just how your eyes adjust to the mix of colors.

Secondary qualities are qualities that objects only have in virtue of how we perceive them. And color is the quintessential example of a secondary quality. First of all, this is just one of the hundreds of examples of how our senses simply are not as reliable as we think they are.
For the black/gold/tan part of the dress, on some screens, the tan color seems more faded, making the darker part stronger, and I COULD call it black. I know it's not PURE black, and it's not as black as that cow patch thing in to the left of the dress. On other screens, the tan part stands out more, and I would definitely not call that part black.
