The Great Dress Color Debate of 2015!
Many people have been debating about the color of a picture of a dress that was posted on Tumblr. This dress in located in a shop in Pittsburg. The person who posted the picture asked what color the dress was. People answered either white and gold or blue and black.
Scientists have discovered why people see different colors. Many people think that our eyes see something and then sends it to our brain for us too see something. However according to Professor Matthew A. Smith this isn't the only thing that happened when we see something. Not only do we have too see something but our brain has to interperate what the object is by looking at what is surrounding it. Therefore, in the picture of the dress we can only see the dress and a little bit of the room behind it. People also process things differently that is why people see the dress in different colors. Another reason people see the dress in different colors is that they decide to ignore some things because if we perceived everything humans would go nuts!
Even people in Pittsburg see the dress in different colors because of past experiences. The actual color of the dress in blue and black!
