They also seem to agree that The Dress is pretty fascinating, though they were divided on its importance. Pasacal Wallisch, clinical assistant professor at New York University, said it could be considered the "duckrabbit of colors," in reference to the famous picture that can be seen as either a duck or a rabbit. 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.
All related philosophical and epistemological debates aside, let’s get down to the science of how and why the general public can’t agree on the color of this fashionable dress. 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. So imagine a yellow-y light on a white object - the brain understands that the yellow light is influencing the colour of the surface it’s landing on and will try and ignore it. So, individual variations in color perception may not purely be a matter of the nature and number of the cones in the retina. It can also be a result of the fact that people with different numbers of cones calibrate the input from the retina in different ways.
Is That Dress White and Gold or Blue and Black?
This dress caused a sensation because humans are curios. So since we are curios we need to see the other sides of story and defend what we think is right that is why this dress ccahsed a sensation on the internet. The website Buzzfeed was among the first to call McNeill. 'I’m about as bearish as I’ve been since 2008,' says Hedgeye's Keith McCullough.
Of course, later, experts posed the causation that it was an optical illusion closely related to the manner in which our eyes and brain have become accustomed to working. However, at the time, science had no reasoning to explain why individuals were seeing the dress differently and “the dress” became quite the unsolved mystery. Even vision scientists were puzzled by this duality in perception with regard to the color of the dress. If a person makes the same judgment many times, they also seem to be more confident that the answer is correct (e.g., Hertwig et al., 1997; Knutsson et al., 2011; Koriat, 2011, 2012; Unkelbach et al., 2011). Thus, when making the same perceptual judgment several times (e.g., “blue and black”) people may convince themselves this must be the correct answer. Since the majority of participants do not seem to shift in perception of the colors of The Dress photograph from one occasion to another previous experience can increase the likelihood of affirmation and believing in a correct answer due to this affirmation.

But I've studied individual differences in colour vision for 30 years, and this is one of the biggest individual differences I've ever seen. The dress was designed and manufactured by Roman Originals. In the UK, where the phenomenon had begun, Ian Johnson, creative manager for Roman Originals, learned of the controversy from his Facebook news feed that morning.
Yahoo Tech’s David Pogue opines that it’s a sensitive test of red-green color deficiency. It’s consistent with cone deficiency, and red-green would do it for this hue,” he was told by Dr. Stephen McLeod, chairman of UCSF’s ophthalmology department. Pogue is running a sex-based poll at the bottom of his post to test this idea. "There's no correct way to perceive this photograph. It sits right on the cusp, or balance, of how we perceive the color of a subject versus the surrounding area," he said. "It just shows how your brain chooses to see the image." When I plugged the picture of the dress into Google images, the "visually similar images" identified by the search engine were all dresses that were very clearly in various shades of blue.
White/Gold or Black/Blue? The Brain’s Dress Code
The photo produced a deluge of media calls to the Tumblr reporter, 21-year-old McNeill. She calls the phone calls "more than I've received in the entirety of the rest of my life combined." She says the photographer is the mother of the bride. But photons don't change color based on their proximity to other photons; they aren't even a color at all. After all, when you walk outside during the day, every inch of space around you is filled with photons—but it’s not like you see any of them. Shown here are people's different perceptions of the colors in "the dress."

How many people started arguements over this dress until they realized there were different levels of truth in regard to this dress? We are so very right that we forget to be aware as to the possibilities of different rights or different wrongs. At the end of an unrelated study performed in the participant pool, participants were asked if they would like to participate in another study in psychology and were provided with a survey link.
"We went to the computers and had a look. And some members of the team saw ivory and gold. I see a royal blue all the time," she said. All agreed, however, the dress for the Birmingham, England-based retailer was likely to become their greatest seller. The chain's website headlined its product as "#TheDress now back in stock debate now." "I can officially say that this dress is royal blue with black lace trimming," said Michele Bastock. The answer, says Hardiman-McCartney, is that every viewer seeing either set of colors is right.
