Actually I have found it to be pretty even what people see....perhaps a few more on the blue black side...

As good an explanation as I have found....

“Your eyes have retinas, the things that let you interpret color. There’s rods, round things, and cones that stick out, which is what gives your eye a textured appearance in the colored part. The “cones” see color. The “rods” see shade, like black, white and grey. Cones only work when enough light passes through. So while I see the fabric as white, someone else may see it as blue because my cones aren’t responding to the dim lighting as well. My rods see it as a shade (white).

There’s three cones: small, medium and large. They are blue sensitive, green sensitive, and red sensitive.As for the black bit (which I see as gold), it’s called additive mixing. Blue, green and red are the main colors for additive mixing. This is where it gets really tricky. Subtractive mixing, such as with paint, means the more colors you add the murkier it gets until its black. ADDITIVE mixing, when you add the three colors the eyes see best, red, green and blue, (not to be confused with primary colors red, blue and yellow) it makes pure white.—

Blue and Black: In conclusion, your retina’s cones are more high functioning, and this results in your eyes doing subtractive mixing.—

White and Gold: your eyes don’t work as well in dim light so your retinas rods see white, and this makes them less light sensitive, causing additive mixing, (that of green and red), to make gold.”


EDIT: btw, the dress comes in a few different colours, one of which is blue and black. None are white and gold....

actually if I'm looking at bright light and look at it i get the blue / black thing for a few seconds.
dark room it looks gold / white.

That's one very long train.

Only seen the same pic on the phone, but it looks blue and gold to me, no black, no white. Pretty sick of it though.

No it's not. It just keeps coming and going.

Any way, this may help

With the train all I can see is Charing Cross!

That pic is blue and gold

Any angle. The pics I've seen on FB have been mostly white/gold.

Geez evl this topic is so last week!

Sometimes I watch a TV show that didn't come out in US yesterday, or read a book that doesn't have wizards in it, or listen to music that you can't dance to, or watch a movie without superheroes, or play a game by myself, or talk to people on the telephone, or think that not following the crowd every second is cool.
