^ unfortunately this is inescapable. i work with a number of people who are 'highly educated' and their idiocy would probably surprise you.


oh why thank you legend.

i just looked at it. it suggests that the background dictates the color of the dress and i agree with it, but this is related to how our eyes take in light and interpret it.

Well, no, as long as the intake is roughly the same it shouldn't matter much. The major thing here clearly is interpretation. Because I believe almost every single person with full color vision (no color blindness) who looks at the xkcd comic will see two dresses of differing color.

That's pretty much EXACTLY what I wrote.
So now you agree that Janitsu's teacher is wrong?
I didn't read the link at first because I thought it wasn't gonna teach me anything new. And I was completely right. It's the very same theory I came up with, even down to the speculation about whether the white balance of the surrounding area has an effect on the interpretation.

no i believe jani's teacher stuff is related to the answer it just doesn't give the whole answer it is only a portion of the bigger picture.
