Dress Question: I'm Losing My Mind... But So Are Many Others!

And yet that didn't work for everyone (me included...)

Doesn't work for me either. I even see white and gold on the cropped strip in the middle of the xkcd comic:

So apparently xkcd is on it already:

Same here.

My theory is that it very much has to do with pupil size/dilation. I have extremely large pupils according to my eye doctor, and it makes me very sensitive to light. For the longest time, all I saw was white and gold. When I looked again in my very dark room later at night it started turning to a periwinkle/brown. I was eventually able to get my eyes to see blue and black by squinting/tilting my laptop screen. In the morning with more light in the room, it was back to very light blue/gold.
This makes the most sense to me, more than anything I read, and seems like a pretty solid theory, but I could be wrong. Those who see B/B compare your pupil size to your spouse who see's W/G.
Let me know!

I had my eyes dilated yesterday and all I could see is black and blue.

Wow - you went to a lot of effort to try and solve this!

[ah]

lol, ok, could be wrong, my eyes are permanently dilated

[Dan]

Doesn't work for me either.

Same here.

Wow.
Though I can't see anything other than black/blue now.

When I first saw it I was thinking gold/blue.

Pretty crazy stuff.  Reminds me of the brain-teaser books I used to love as a kid.

I have seen blue and gold the entire time can't see anything else. Just asked my four year old and he said blue and black

Interesting i wonder what a pool of little kids would come out to?

Dunno ho w little the kids have to be but I think Freddy reported his 13 year old seeing B/B

[DMYD]

Everyone wants to get in to this

If that line of reasoning pans out that could spell trouble for JJ's theory:

I read somewhere that people who see blue and black have higher IQ's.

It's crazy! Last night I only saw gold and white, whatever I tried doing I couldn't see blue and black. Today I  can't see how I saw yesterday gold and white 
Did it change be anyone else overnight?

I always knew my wife doesn't know what she's talking about, but now I "proved" it...
