all the "lace" strips are black.

The eyedropper might soak them up in the dark golds/olive range but I preserve them as black.

When I eyedropper blue, my wife sees a dull gray blue, but she says those partrs of the dress appear as white to her in the picture. I cannot manipulate the image to fathom how people can see white/gold, but I see a lot of people, including my wife, that says it's switched colors on them and they started seeing it as blue/black.

One article I read about this talks about the colors you choose tells if you are left or right brained and then goes on to say what that means. I see white and gold so I'm left brained which means I'm good with math and language but, suck at being creative, according to the article. Which actually is true for me. I'm Not at all creative.

But that's not what people are seeing. This appears blue/gold. You've turned the lace stripes blue, and that's what people are seeing as gold.

but the inversion of these color is part of the illusion that's plaguing maria.

Winner!!!!! I too see white and gold....math has always been my strong suit. I started life left handed, but was forced to be right handed by my parents, so a lot of "lines" have been crossed with me. I share traits of both right brain and left brain.

The one thing I don't understand is how people (not just on this forum), refuse to believe that people can see colors differently....the brain is something than we don't totally understand, so practically anything is possible.....jmt.....

I see a bluish white and gold, so does my daughter. My mother swears it's blue and black. We looked at it on the same tv when they showed it on the news and then on my phone and on my newly calibrated monitor. Same results. Very strange. I've seen the second photo of her standing next to the bride and we all agree that the dress is definitely blue and black... not sure why we each see it so differently in the other pic.

Those right brain left brain studies aren't really accepted anymore in the scientific community.

People who aren't lobotomized use both sides for both artistic and analytical tasks. There doesn't seem to be a preference either.
