What colors are the dress?
^ 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.

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.

And sadly some idiocy too, but it's hard to avoid that.
The endless struggle.
