What Colors Do You See?
For those who haven't yet run into this latest internet craze, there is a photo of a dress which is sparking a debate about its colors. Do you see white and gold or blue and black?
Here's the un-retouched photo:

Gene, let's let the fun play out a little longer and then I will explain the debate for those who haven't already googled it.

I can't use the pole because as is, I see blue and gold. But if I frame it with my hands to block out the light around it, it looks white and gold.

I would call it brownish gold with bluish white.
Totally dependent upon color rendering of the display and perhaps viewing angle.

Can't wait to see your explanation, algale.
The Dr. on the FOX News channel said this morning, it is 7th grade science. Although I was pretty good at 7th grade science, just don't remember how this light reflection works.

If you are looking at a display(light emitter) you are not seeing 'reflected light'.
A 'white' object reflects all colors. A 'black' object reflects none. One sees the reflected object as the the sum of all the reflected light. The appearance will also be dependent upon the light source.
i.e. a red object(appears red when illuminated by white light[evenly distributed wavelengths]) will appear white under red light, and will appear black under green light. A white object will appear to be the color of the light source.
In any event color is a perceived thing, regardless of its source.
That's the way I 'see' it!
