You’re in the blue and black camp. I get what you mean, it’s sort of a yellowish brown, but that’s why the illusion is there in the first place. Some people’s brains adjust it to a more yellow color instead of more of a black/dark brown.
I appreciate your answer. But aren’t you just in my camp, maybe? If some people in the blue/black camp see a yellowish brown, why do they call it black? And why do they insist it’s the only way the image could be interpreted?
What struck me about the whole thing was how people seemingly could not fathom how the colors could be seen as anything other than what they personally saw/interpreted. Were some of them exaggerating, do you think?
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.
