Actually, that's a good question! I posted Sun/Neptune, because I think they're conjunct in the sky right now. I've been miserable, but the comments on twitter made me laugh out loud, at times.  IP: Logged |

Oops, I thought I posted a link to video of the llamas that were being chased earlier. But he is adorable. Let's see if this works: http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/26/us/arizona-llamas-escape/index.html

I thought the lighter colour was a kind of lavender, with a blue tint - and the darker colour was a golden brown... medium brown.I don't see white or black at all. How do you guys see white and black? lol This is so strange IP: Logged |

Wow! I saw a reference to this earlier, and I didn't know what they were talking about. So I looked it up, and I saw gold and white. My husband was like "WHAAAT?!" So we asked our son, and he was like "blue and black!" Crazy. I wonder why people see it so differently, and only the two options?  IP: Logged |

My sister sees Blue & Black! I feel like it has to do with difference in Left Brain dominant or Right Brain dominant ppl.. IP: Logged |

One woman said that adding red text to the picture, had her seeing blue/black, when she'd seen white/gold before. I can see more brown in this picture - the one I saw earlier, looked black. I am supposed to be colour-blind with red and green (although they said that years ago, and I see red and green just fine). IP: Logged |

I feel like that lavender-ish hue is due to fabric reflecting blue-ish light in the store or sky from the outside or something...

http://twitter.com/dinnerwithjulie Scroll down, to see the picture with red text. I'm supposed to be watching the How To Get Away With Murder finale. I'm glad I posted this, though - I was curious as to what others would see, and I do like it when things like this match the planets in the sky. IP: Logged |

I wonder if you're right!
My husband is left-handed, and I am right-handed. Our son is only 3 years old, so he's somewhat ambidextrous still. IP: Logged |

That's what I thought, too. I told my husband I could see maybe a light grey or something, but I definitely don't see blue or black! It's interesting, anyway.
When my son saw it with the red text, he changed his mind from black and blue to brown and blue. Hmm. IP: Logged |

I see white and gold, with and without the red text. I don't think this has to do with being left or right brain dominant (that's a myth, btw) ; instead, I think it's just a question of how sensitive our eyes are and how they handle light and darkness. I actually first saw a very blue-ish lavender shaded white background color with dark brown-ish gold lace, which, in my opinion, is the real color of the dress in the picture. What follows is just the human brain and eyes reacting differently and choosing to see either white and gold or blue and black. Besides, if I squint a little (and thus, make the picture darker, as my brain 'chose' to see it the brighter way) I can actually get back the real colors I saw initially.IP: Logged |

This is driving me crazy to! Im seeing it all over instagram i see white/gold im slightly color blind and most males are color blind but not to the extent of seeing black and white just i cant distinguish certain colors if they are next to each other its not bad but i think that might also influence what color you seeIP: Logged |
