• Looks to me like a white and gold dress that’s being shaded from the ambient light. In reality, it’s a black and blue dress with a yellow light cast on it.

    Your mind naturally tries to compensate for color shifts caused by light. For example, a white car still looks white to you at sunset and in the moonlight even though it is actually reflecting that red or blue light, not white light (i.e. all colors of light). That’s because your eye recognizes the general pallete of the ambient light and makes an interpretation automatically about the colors of the objects you see.

    That’s happening in this picture too, either correctly interpreting it as black and blue in yellow light or incorrectly as white and gold in shade. But even knowing it’s incorrect, changing your brain’s interpretation is not easy.

      Pale for the white canvas, 🎨🖼️🖌️ for mixing your oil paints on

      Pallet -the only one with ll- just like the wood slats it’s made of

      Palate -has “ate” and is about your mouth and taste.

      Well… I would say the interpretation is done by the brain not the eyes…but yeah.

      (Unless I am wrong and there is something on the eyes doing t…)

      EDIT: Nvm you say this at the end my reference was to the palette parts you say about the eyes recognizing
