The origin of the phenomenon

She had originally planned to wear the dress to her daughter's wedding. Surprisingly, Grace saw the dress in the photo as white and gold, while her mother thought the dress was blue-black. Grace posted the photo on Facebook, sparking an unprecedented color recognition battle.

"Human perception of color is sometimes complicated by a variety of factors."
Scientific explanation
Many scientists have explained this phenomenon by pointing out that the human visual system interprets differently when faced with challenges from different light sources and colors. Most people view the perception of color as a complex psychological process involving light intensity, context, and an individual's visual history. This differentiated perception is not limited to the dress, but also plays out in many daily life scenes.
Impact and Cultural Heritage
The craze for the "blue and black dress" continues to have an impact on Internet culture. Later investigations showed that the incident became a topic of discussion in sociology, neuroscience, psychology and other fields. To this day, some netizens still use this as a topic to discuss the differences in vision and opinions.
"Is what we see actually reality? This question still triggers countless thoughts."
This incident made us realize that the perception of color is not only a physiological phenomenon, but also involves many aspects such as personal psychology, cultural background and social psychology. In such a world full of visuals and emotions, can we more clearly recognize the limitations of our own perception?
