I see the photo as a dark blue and black, but my girlfriend sees it as white and gold, we are not color blind. Very strange. There is a guy on Vimeo that uses Photoshop to detect the colors too [1].

I started off seeing white/gold but after looking at it for a while and playing with the images, I see blue/black.

Whipped up a simulation for it: https://grack.com/demos/dress/

Thanks, will see what kind of results we get from people around the house ;)

Thank you very much for that.

I've read quite a few stories on quite a few sites, and none have done as good a job of explaining what is happening as your simulation does.

If you run color correct on the photo it's obviously black and blue.
