Six percent of respondents were simply disgusted at the re-emergence of the comparative clothing colors phenomenon. But that still doesn't explain why some people's brains assume the lighting is one way and some assume the opposite. "I think the brain has just made a different assumption about how the dress is being illuminated." We see colour because of two types of cells in the retina – rods and cones.

Neuroscientist Bevil Conway believes ‘The Dress’ phenomenon marked the greatest extent of individual differences in colour perception ever documented. When Dr. Webster inverted the colors of the dress, 95 percent of his participants said they saw the colors yellow and black. Understanding individual differences in color appearance of "#TheDress" based on the optimal color hypothesis.

It was physical, based on how our brains were processing visual information. If you are left-brained, then you will positively perceive this dress to be white and gold. On the other hand, if you are right-brained, you will be able to see the dress as blue and black.

In the first week after being uploaded, the post gathered 10 million tweets mentioning the dress, using hashtags such as #thedress, #whiteandgold, #blackandblue, #blueandblack and #dressgate. Imagine how the world would look without colour constancy; objects would always be changing colour as you walked, say, through your house at different times of the day. I am currently doing research on the development of colour constancy in children within the Sussex Colour Group.

But the it’s the low quality photo - taken by this Tumblr blogger - of the dress that has flummoxed us all, and triggered a flurry of hilarious memes. The dress sells for £50 ($77) and is also available in white and black, red and black, and pink and black. The retailer is considering creating a white and gold version.

Adobe retweeted another Twitter user who had used some of the company's apps to isolate the dress's colours. "We jumped in the conversation and thought, Let's see what happens," recalled Karen Do, the company's senior manager for social media. Jenna Bromberg, senior digital brand manager for Pizza Hut, saw the dress as white and gold and quickly sent out a tweet with a picture of pizza noting that it, too, was the same colours. Do called it "literally a tweet heard around the world". Then, the researchers inverted the image so that the lighter stripes appeared gold and the darker stripes appeared blue.

Well, it turns out some people see it as blue and black, while others see it as white and gold. Despite the Internet memes, how you see it tells you nothing about whether you are depressed, manic, crazy, or whatever. It simply has to do with differences in the way our eyes process light and our brains process visual information. Such a large sample size allowed Wallisch to note other patterns among respondents, aside from their sleeping habits.

I was able to see the dress in both perspectives, and let me tell ya… Neither is right or wrong. They’re both correct, depending on what your cones and rods are up to, how they perceive light. Like two people looking at God/Divine/Energy/Life as different beliefs , they might not realize they’re seeing the same beautiful energy just in different ways. Different perspectives, different facets of the same diamond, in the end we have to decide if we want to be blue black or white gold or just enjoy the dress. Thus far, research suggests that the difference arises because you use your brain differently.

The classic example of this is the Necker cube, a drawing of a three-dimensional cube that seems to be facing one way to some viewers, and another way to others. The dress in a photo from Caitlin McNeill’s Tumblr site. "Our visual system is supposed to throw away information about the illuminant and extract information about the actual reflectance,” neuroscientist Jay Neitz, from the University of Washington, told Wired.com. "It really has to do with the interesting wiring inside our eyes and the combination of how the cells work together," she told Gold.

There are definite facts about the world and they are discoverable. The only thing that is blue and black or white and gold is people's experiences. Lacking L or M cones has minimal impact on perceived dress colors while a lack of S cones yields a very different perception suggesting a primary role of the S cone input in perception of the Dress. The Dress began on this Tumblr page, where a user posted a photo of the dress with the caption, "guys please help me - is this dress white and gold, or blue and black? Me and my friends can't agree and we are freaking the f--k out."
