I can't do this again...

I know I'm wrong, but it's just staring at me gold & white. It's right there, clearly, and I don't know how to explain it to those who see it the other way.

No brother. You are correct. The blasphemers are wrong

Can we start a religion out of this?

I'm the same, looking straight at it all I can see is white and gold. Like a bright gold even, it's not even brown.

If I look at it in my peripheral vision it's very clearly blue and black though 🤷.

I just tried peripheral vision, and it's still solidly gold/white to me. Damn

Try zooming into the blue part on your phone and putting your phone up against a white wall

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, just tried. It looks like white with a shadow on it, or maybe off-white.

I've just come back to look at this after your comment and it is now solidly blue and black to me!

I've turned the lights down in the room I'm in so that may have had an effect?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I can't really See einher white and gold nor black and blue. It's more a baby blue and brownish to golden color for me. Can't really say it's black or white at all

I was able to see it blue and black one time, I'm not wasting my time trying to see it again, lol

If I remember from the first time this came around it had a lot to do with how your eyes interpreted the lighting in the image. Try putting it away then looking at it in different light settings and often it allows you to see the other one.

I've definitely seen it on numerous devices in various lighting since it became a thing, and it just looks the same to me.
