The missus sometimes sees it as blue - black and cannot see how I see it as white gold.

Sometimes she sees it as white gold and does not believe me when I tell her it is the same photo as before.

She then looked away for a second and it switched again for her and she now thinks I am trying to send her mad.

Weird, have spent the last few hours under artificial light, and it was very light outside when I first saw the pick.

It is unambiguously blue  black to me now. I cannot convince myself otherwise. The opposite was true earlier, in daylight.

I'm being levelled here. But I'll bite.

I can't see any blue or black.

It's white and gold to me. No question about it.

i saw it that way at first, it was gold and white and there was no chance that the 'gold' could ever be black.

i flipped after seeing the pic at the top of the wired article at night and i cannot see any white or gold now. and cant even see how i saw it that way in the first place. its blue and black, no question.

also i originally thought the photo was taken outside, now it looks to me to be unambiguously indoor lit. it was a bright morning when i first saw the pic and at night when i looked at the wired article and suddenly flipped, never to return.

very telling about how our perception is a shitty objective judge on reality at times.

oh, the wired photos that flipped me are at the top of this article:

I may be slightly obsessed with this.  Been having a play about in paint and have scribbed on the picture in colours as close as I can get them to the shades I am seeing.  Question for the gold/whities - do the shades in the writing merge into the gold/white you see, or can you see the writing clearly contrasted against the white/gold?
