@sapinker Prob w analysis is that the photo's actual pixels on the screen *are* objective colors: blue-tinted white & gold-brown. -
@davidgaliel@sapinker Exactly. The picture represents a blue and black dress, but the colors in the image are bluish white & golden brown. -
@davidgaliel@sapinker Some people are apparently able to mentally undo the lighting in the image and "see" the original colors. -
@paladinzilch I wonder how much of this is expectation-driven - are people prompted to expect an issue, or just shown the photo?@sapinker -
@davidgaliel@sapinker I tested it on a friend who hadn't heard of the meme. He saw black and blue where I saw gold and bluish white.

@sapinker I wonder if there are regional trends with how these colors are perceived because of adaptation to local light levels/qualityThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
