Whether that's through brands bidding on central shelf space, artificial scents in certain parts of the store, (typically bakery sections), things as simple as spreading out the most common purchases to make you see the entire store, it's quite interesting. While a larger cart let's you carry more, there's more to it than convenience. Look at how stores have few hand baskets, or put them well into the entrance past carts.

What about the thumbnail for the video? In that, I saw it as very light blue and bronze. But in the video itself, the actual dress on his desk looked clearly dark blue and black, whereas the images he showed were more like a sky blue and brown. (At least, that how I saw it.) Admittedly, when this phenomenon was all the craze a decade ago, I saw it as blue and black sometimes, and at other times, a very, very pale (almost white) blue and gold or light brown. Sometimes I was looking at the exact same image, but in one instance, it would appear one way and on another instance, it would appear as the other. The funny thing was that once I looked, looked away, and looked back at it, it's appearance always remained the same. It was only if I completely went on to something else and stopped thinking about it, but then saw it again, it would look the other way.

Another kind of interesting thing is how everyone is very good at instantly counting small amounts. Like if there's 3 Skittles left in a bowl you don't count 1 then 2 then 3, you just look and immediately know it's 3. And that applies to all numbers under 7 or 8ish. The reason for that that I've heard is similar to the pareidolia where it's better to see a face that isn't there than to not see a face that is there. The reason for the numbers again goes back the prehistoric times and it's because there's a HUGE difference between 1 or 2 or 3 lions chasing you, but not much of a difference between 11 or 12 chasing you. Just another thing we've adapted to quickly and accurately analyze the important things we needed to survive

Human's relationships to numbers is actually pretty trippy all on its own... There's an indigenous tribe in South America, that only has 3 numbers in their counting system. 1, 2, and "Many" in their language... I'm not sure where that gives your theory credibility (exactly) though I know it adds something to it... The concept of "zero" is also fairly recent for "official arithmetic"... Negative numbers even moreso. Up until that, if you had "zero" of anything, you simply didn't have it at all. There was no need for "zero" and even after it came to academics, it was largely an academic exercise until the lawyers and accountants could start to make heads and tails out of the concept of "negative" numbers, meaning you could owe something you didn't already have and had no real expectation to speak of. Supposedly (depends on who you ask) the Maya was among the earliest peoples to adopt a concept of "zero" as a value... ;o)

For the dress: I can see black/blue and white/gold, and flip them at will. I'm not entirely sure how I make them flip, but it feels like I'm focusing on bringing forward the colors I want to see, or sometimes focusing on the lighter or darker parts of the dress, and then it abruptly comes into focus as the color combination that I intended. This is also the case with the pink/white, gray/teal sneaker photo. Admittedly, I initially saw it as white/gold, then after I scrolled down a page and back up, it was black/blue, stuck at black/blue for a few minutes, then it kept flipping nearly every time I saw it, until I could eventually see both entirely at will. With the sneaker, I could immediately flip it at will, perhaps due to the experience I had with the dress? Anyone else?

What always slightly confuses me about the dress photo is that to me, in the photo, the dress looks like it's sort of a light blue and brown, and it feels like nobody ever mentions that option. Maybe it's just not as interesting, since it's not correct, like black and blue is, nor is it as extreme as white and gold, but it feels to me like "light blue and brown" is closer to describing what's actually in those pixels.

I think part of the dynamics of the dress is that people generally don't know that yellow and blue can be opposites. Color is usually taught that red, yellow, and blue are primaries, but if blue, red, and green are the primaries than the mixture of red + green creates yellow, so the black and blue is the opposite of the white and gold. I haven't heard of someone seeing the dress as brown so I wonder if there some sort of color-blindness, or filtering for a similar effect, at hand

I saw the dress as blue and dark gold. Like the "black" parts looked like a really dark gold color, which I think is more similar to how you're seeing it.

Depending on the surrounding lighting I can see either one, but also wat you describe: It's what I see when the colors are in between.

Technically the colors do show up as light blue and brown in the image, and thats what everyone is legitimately seeing, but its the interpretation of what the "original colors" are that people were discussing. It was either a black and blue dress in the light, or a gold and white dress in the shadow. It's like a person wearing a white shirt in the shade or at dusk outside. You'll *see* a blue shirt, but your brain can infer that they're most likely wearing a white shirt, even though you're seeing it as light blue

I'm a night owl, i still see the dress as white and gold to this day. My brain didn't learn to adjust (the Dr said "subtract"?) for the lighting, and i don't think it learnt how to do so. And yeah, holding the pic and the dress side-by-side: the pic is still white and gold and the dress is black and blue.

One question I always had is if we can make sure everyone sees colors the same way. Of course most people will see green as green, but can someone interpret green as other people would interpret yellow?

I believe VSauce made a video about this. I’ve always wondered this myself, as well. Although there is a predefined “visible spectrum of light”, how can we be certain that everyone’s brains interprets these colours the same way? The complexity and specificity of all known human languages are insufficient to accurately enough describe… “redness”, for example, to any degree of certainty to anybody not already familiar with the colour. Perhaps one day language will evolve to that point, but as it stands, there’s no way of really knowing.

@@cobravello453 that’s not what he meant. He meant that if you select a colour, say Red, and have an example you can get every person on earth with vision to agree is that colour. Everyone is looking at the same item, everyone agrees that item is red. But what is “redness”? Say somebody’s brain could perceive the wavelength we all see as red, to be what we perceive as blue. They grow up their entire life, believing that their perception of that wavelength is called “red”, but could be seeing something else. We’d have no way of knowing. It’s kind of confusing.

This happens in color blindness (where one set of cones is damaged). They have simple tests for that. I guess my question is, What is color if not in relationship to other colors? A few people can TASTE or HEAR colors. Now that is strange.

Colors are surely different for everyone. When we get born, we actually can't "see" color yet, but our brain gets the signal already. So our brain learns to interpret that signal and turns it into some kind of "emotion". And all emotions are very individual, you learn them as a baby. So colors are probably different experiences for everyone.

different frame rates of different people's perception is definitely true and I have a great story to share about that. we bought tiny hanging lights for our house we share with my housemate. we hanged them and i started to turn them on whenever i am at the balcony, no problem. after a while we were sitting together and she said "noo dont't turn them on. we need to buy different ones, right? they are very shaky" and I was like "they are?? never realizied that? i've been using them." she was actually seeing them going on and off constantly but i wasn't. most people we invited also said they are shaking and it is very disturbing and dangereous for epilepsy. then i tried to take a picture. on my phone's camera i could clearly see them shaking crazy. sooo then we decided we must have different fps rates. lights were going on and off but i saw them constantly on. weird.

About the dress, I see white and gold, but if I don't look directly at the photo, blur my eyes, and the guy holds it at an angle where there's a glare, I can see the black and blue. That's actually super trippy. Also, I am an extreme night owl, so I guess I'm in the wrong group of people to be seeing it as white and gold. I am currently watching this video at 4 am.

Another example with like wheel in cameras is. Motors and light. When the motor rotates at 50hz and put light is on 50hz. It looks like the motor is turned off and isn't rotating at all. That's the reason we have 100hz light in the machines where things are rotating at this frequence.
