Article with original photo. Frankly, I see it as blue and gold this morning after I just woke up. I know that I've been able to see both of the other views (limited) when I viewed the photo when I was fully awake, but not right now.

MODERATORS
This didn’t “reveal differences in human perception”. Those differences were well known already. What was lacking - and still is, as far as I know - is a good model of human colour perception.
I think everyone knew about how human perception subconsciously color corrects a particular image, but this was shocking in that there was genuine disagreement between people who simply couldn't see it the other way.
There was also this bro science take, which is debunked:
When you see white and gold you are happy and when you see black and blue you are depressed.
Always saw it as white/gold first but after a few seconds I perceive it as blue/black and then it stays that way.
