No, I don’t think people were exaggerating. It’s a very weird optical illusion that branches to different outcomes for people. I was only ever able to see the white/yellow once by looking at it upside down and slowly revealing more of the dress from the bottom. Other illusions like that spinning ballerina are easier to flip in your mind or at least understand why people see it the other way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_dancer
But I just wouldn’t call that black. Because… it isn’t. The color is sort of muddy and brownish. So I don’t understand why everyone in ‘my’ camp insist on calling it black and nothing else, if that is really what they also see. Especially when there’s a whole bunch of other people calling the same color yellow gold. Anyway, I think some things about this will remain mysterious to me.
Yeah, the blue/black camp.
