    our minds are filling in red because we see a Coca-Cola can

    Our minds are filling in red because of the cyan

    Top comment explains it. It’s because of the cyan that it looks red. It’s the complementary primary color

  I think what we actually need is someone to take a picture of their screen with a microscope while the image is zoomed out.

  Based on some comments I’ve seen, it seems likely this is just an artifact of how the red/green/blue pixel layouts work when drawing the edges of white things.

    You can use a color dropper and unlike the gold/blue dress meme we are all looking at the same image and don’t have to determine one singular source one vs. shared ones that have changed due to screenshotting/compressing/people just messing with folks

      You can’t use a color picker see color fringing due to subpixel rendering. (There’s tons of info about this for font rendering). Your display doesn’t map pixels 1-to-1 in most cases.

      The blue/gold dress was not related to screenshotting and compression. People were arguing about the color even when looking at the exact same image. It all depends on which color temperature the dress was lit with. Noone can know for sure, and your brain just picks one (maybe depending on the room you’re in).

      It’s the same sort of deal as those rotating optical illusions. It’s possible to see it both ways, but your brain usually picks one and it’s hard to switch.

        Screenshotting, compression, people screwing with people, different monitors, different phones, etc. all contributed to the confusion ultimately. It’s not accurate to say we were all looking at the same image with the dress.
