What color is the dress? Why do some people see blue and black and some people see gold and white when looking at a single image of a dress?

We've heard the clamoring for explanations as to why people perceive this dress so very differently. Sometimes it's blue and black, sometimes it's gold and white. We've heard that it's even "switched" for some people.

We've had our experts working on this, and it's surprisingly difficult to come up with a definitive answer! Our panelists are here to offer their thoughts.

These are possible explanations from experts in their fields. We will not be allowing anecdotes or layman speculation; we'll be moderating the thread as always and removing comments that do not follow our guidelines.
