In case you've been off the grid, this was the photo someone snapped of a dress they saw online, and there was fiery debate over whether the dress was blue and brown/black or white and gold. Some people said they saw it both ways. Some said they were sitting next to someone looking at the same screen and they each saw different colors.

What surprises me is how surprised people are about the phenomenon.
Don't we live every day in our own realities? Don't our own perceptions of ourselves and others color everything we do? Two people can watch the same movie or view the same incident and come away with two opposed descriptions of what happened. And how many different religious factions are out there insisting their god is the only one?
Just for the record, I saw the dress as blue and brown. Someone, who took the time to make swatches and check them against Photoshop, came up with blue and brown, too.
So I'm right. Ha!
Except...the original dress, the one that was viewed online, was blue and black.
Oh well. I've always been a little off. Ask anyone, they'll tell you. They just may not all tell you the same thing!
