I still don't see it.
I spent so long trying to make myself see blue-and-black. Kind of resigned that I can't do it.
I've managed to game other optical illusions by covering bits of them up, to break the effect, and then slowly shift the amount covered. Cover one eye. Focus on one part of the image.
I can make the Necker cube be in either orientation.
I've seen The Spinning Dancer run in both directions.
But The Dress remains determinedly white-and-gold.
So what colour is this?
On the other hand, I've never seen white and gold.
These guys apparently reproduced the effect.
One apparently either sees white socks and pink crocs, or green socks and gray crocs.

EDIT: For me, it's green socks and gray crocs.
Holy shit, I stared at the green socks really close for awhile and now the white and gold dress is blue and black! No way!
I just did the same thing. I had never seen the blue/black, ever. Now I can't see white/gold. I don't known who I am anymore!
I came back to it after a bit and it was back to white/gold.
I see green socks and pink crocs lol
But I think it's because I'm color correcting the Crocs from the green, but the socks, while I acknowledge are likely white in reality, do look very green from reflecting green light
But then, yeah, there's the difference of "do we take it at face value, or try to figure out what the 'real' colour is in neutral light?"
So this is really strange. I followed the link in the post above to look at the dress again and, as always, it's obviously blue and black, but I kind of stared at the white background of the wiki page, and just barely kept the top left corner of the dress in my vision. I shit you not, the dress slowly turned more white and I looked down at the rest of the dress and the stripes were gold! At first it was subtle but it gradually became blatantly white and gold.
Then I looked away, and it was black and blue again.
Weird.
yea I can see the cube both ways
spinning dancer is only clockwise
dress is always white/gold
