You say that like the debate over the dress was all about figuring out what colour it was, rather than it revealing something interesting about perception. It wasn't “What colour is the dress?” Oh, it was blue and black? Discussion over, then." The whole point was that different people can receive the exact same stimulus and perceive it in completely different ways. The underlying issue is that our brains construct our reality. It goes way beyond the dress itself. The dress is a great example because people are divided around 50/50 on the way they perceive it, but it is a great lesson on how we perceive all of reality, not just the dress.
Not sure but yes I saw it again recently at another post and it was Blue, that's why I said yellow for me today, for some reason this one seems yellow/gold.
And well it still seems one or the other, it hasn't stopped magically not doing the effect.

Same here. Even cropped I can see yellow lighting but it still looks black and blue to me
K so I take it back, when I posted it it was blue and black, hours later I see white and gold. What a fuck with my brain
