#TheDress - what do you see?

You

What colour is this dress? Black/Blue or Gold/White?

Gold/White or black/blue?

I am surprised at the number of people who get this wrong.

While reading u about colours today, I came across an article suggesting that in the ancient world no one saw the colour blue. It is a very interesting read.

That lead onto a podcast about colours: http://www.radiolab.org/story/211119-colors/ - also very interesting:

Is the sky blue?

Do all of us see the same thing?

What do other animals see?

and the concept that we only see colours once they have been named/can be consistently mass produced.
