    Your phone screen only uses three colors to represent all colors.

    If you printed out the photo of the dress the “illusion” wouldn’t work.

    The 3 colors used to make the blue dress in warm “gold” light is what allows your brain to interpret it as yellow.

    If anything it helps prove that people basically see in the same way. Just if your brain adjusts for the backlight tone. You either saw blue or yellow. No one was saying purple or orange.

    If you took mushrooms and saw purple you’d be hallucinating. Your brain is giving you false information.

    Seeing it as yellow isn’t false information but a different interpretation of the given material

      Yeah, I’m in agreement with you, my point is that we have proof that people perceive reality slightly differently, in general it’s pretty standardized, but there are slight variations. That’s all my point was.

        You have things like grapheme-color synesthesia where people really do experience things different. They might see 2s as blue and 5s as green. So if they ever saw a 2 it would be blue. Like 5 5 5 5 2 5 5. Even though the numbers are all the same color to us someone with the synesthesia would see those numbers there in the color their mind associates them with automatically.
