The dress was a 2015 online viral phenomenon centred on a photograph of a dress. Viewers disagreed on whether the dress was blue and black or white and gold. The phenomenon revealed differences in human colour perception and became the subject of scientific investigations into neuroscience and vision science.

Which part do you see as white and which as gold? I see blue dress with black embellishment.

I see a white dress with gold accents but I’m mostly just echoing the old debate by posting my perspective as the obvious truth which is what got the whole debate started. I’m not trying to have the debate again. Just mocking those of us who were convinced it was one way or the other.

At the time I consistently saw black and blue, but now I consistently see white and gold. Weird.

I still don't understand this. You can literally use a colour picker and see the colours are gold and very pale blue (almost white). That's what the photo shows. It's not a checkerboard illusion.
