The dress is a bistable picture, similar to the Spinning Dancer, which you can consciously reverse the direction of spin with some practice.

To see the dress as blue-black, I first look at the black dress in the bottom-left corner, then shift gaze to the main dress when colour is established.

To see the dress as white-gold, I first look at the sunny regions on the right, then move gaze across, when the main dress goes to white-gold.

  • It may help to cover or mask the opposite region, when focusing on one side.

  • For detail, 10 years ago I saw this as white-gold and did not change from that perception. Did not know what all the fuss was about this dress. Today, I saw it as white-gold initially, but 10 minutes later, after two friends saw it as blue-black, I also saw it as blue-black and could not shake it.

This is flicking between white and gold and black and blue each time I scroll past it.

It was always black and blue, but I've always found it fun to switch back and forth between which color combination it was. It was also a fun phenomena, but I don't like that it was ten years+ ago now. Time moves a bit too fast.

color constancy was not "first investigated" just ten years ago.
