    I’ve always been able to see both colors of the dress by changing the size of the image, so the phenomenon “made sense” to me, but I legitimately have no idea how that image is supposed to explain it lol. There’s two different colored dresses with seemingly random parts highlighted with different colored boxes… are they supposed to look the same in the highlighted area or something?

      The connected boxes show that the same color appears on both sides; however, the colored boxes provide context based on the lighting which is further reenforced by the rest of the dress outside the box.

      Technology Connections did a video about brown that has the same color of orange on a background that cycles between white and black and the color of orange seems to shift to brown or orange depending on the background.
