Question about the silly dress colors - tiny internal poll

[countryjake]

33. Mira, I only saw the dress as white and gold, however...

I'm sitting at a PC desktop and after seeing so much kerfuffle over the color of that dress, out of frustration, I pulled my chair away from the desk and tried viewing the photo from several different positions.

When down on my knees, looking straight up at my monitor from a very extreme angle, I can finally see the dress as blue and black, just like so many others. I don't know what that says about my eyeball cones or 'puter pixels or even that dress, at all. What I do know is that crawling around on the floor just to view what possibly half the world population sees normally put me into one idiotic position.

My man and I see colors differently all the time. I think he must be color-blind, he says that I am. When I have Evening Grosbeaks at my feeders, he thinks that they are dull-yellow, I see them as more greenish. Doesn't matter to me one bit, whenever I get a flock of those birds, it's a delight to have them here, whatever color they are.

I still think that the dress photo whoopla is silly, even after my dumb experiment. And I think it's a weird dress, whatever color it actually is. (tho, now that I've seen it as black and blue, I might actually wear such a thing. The white and gold version reminds me of a set of bathroom curtains I had many years ago, ha!)
