Do You Still Remember the “White-Gold or Blue-Black” Mystery Dress Color? Post Resurfaced Online
White-Gold or Blue-Black? – The mystery dress color resurfaced online as it causes confusion to internet users.
Way back in 2015, a photo of a seemingly ordinary dress breaks the internet and cause an argument among the online community. The simple question regarding the color of the dress makes the internet lose its mind over the garment.
While some claim the outfit is blue and black, others insist it is white and gold. Some folks even switch back and forth between the two or see a mixture. The phenomenon revealed differences in human color perception.
The argument was so intense that some anxious souls claimed to be colorblind because they couldn’t see what the majority saw as blue and black.
However, dress’s retailer confirmed that the color of the “Lace Bodycon Dress'” was actually blue and black. Thus, despite the clothing being blue and black, you mistakenly perceive it as white and gold due to unconscious overthinking.
According to a vision scientist at the University of Rochester in New York David Williams, The brain interprets the various wavelengths that makeup light color. Cone cells that are sensitive to red, green, or blue wavelengths are activated by light entering the retina, the portion of the eye that is sensitive to light.
“Your brain is always confronted with a problem, So your brain is always working behind the scenes to figure out what the true color of the object is,” Williams said.
Recently, a Facebook user named Jonalyn Castro reposted the photo of the mystery dress. The dress resurfaced online and earned various opinions from netizens. The post has a caption:
