All things considered, the only thing that is actually green is your experience of the leaf. It just causes you to have a certain kind of experience. According to Wally Thoreson, professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, “People who see a pink shoe see a blue light in the background. People who see a grey shoe are being told by their brains that the light is white. For the black/gold/tan part of the dress, on some screens, the tan color seems more faded, making the darker part stronger, and I COULD call it black. I know it's not PURE black, and it's not as black as that cow patch thing in to the left of the dress.
Because of the deeper blue hue, the brain sees the blue half as white and the black part as gold. People who perceive the right black and blue may be seeing the outfit under artificial, yellow-lit lighting. Lighting like this makes colors appear more green than they are in reality.

But the weird thing is how certain I was it was black and blue and how certain my father was that it was gold and white. What a marvelous moment it was for me to realize no one was really “right or wrong”…. But experiencing it and seeing the white and gold as well, was eye opening. The retailer of the dress confirmed that the real color of the ‘Lace Bodycon Dress’ was actually blue and black.
Within days, most people were utterly sick of seeing or talking about it. I can only assume that now, two years later, you have very limited interest in being here. Now, you see the leaf as green because it absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others. The fact that it reflects a wavelength between 495 to 570 nm is why you see it as green.
What Colour Is This Dress? (SOLVED with SCIENCE)
Details of these colourful uniforms varied greatly between regiments and branches of the army. The early use of camouflage in the form of plain khaki reflected the exigencies of colonial war and the freedom allowed, and taken, by many of the officers who fought it. The adoption of khaki for active service resulted from the development of weapons of greater accuracy range combined with smokeless powder during the late 19th century, making low-visibility on the battlefield a matter of priority. I'm not a relativist; I'm not saying there is no way the world is. There are definite facts about the world and they are discoverable. The only thing that is blue and black or white and gold is people's experiences.
People of African descent tend to have more melanin than people of European descent, which is why people of African descent can see colors that others don't. Also, women who have had much exposure to sunlight while growing up with no sunscreen often have brown rather than white skin because the melanin in their skin protects them from the sun's harmful rays. Men tend to develop darker skin after they grow older due to increased production of melanin. If you see black and blue your retina’s cones are higher functioning which results in your eyes doing “subtractive mixing”. Researchers and scientists who study the visual system were equally puzzled by this rare color illusion. There have been extensive studies of ambiguous figure illusions (e.g., face/vase, duck/rabbit) that have helped scientists reveal mechanisms and principles of human visual perception, but this color phenomenon is slightly more unique.

Another item of headwear authorized for optional wear on informal parades in Nos 2 or 6 dress is the side cap; it may also optionally be worn with Nos 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13 and 14 dress. Colonel of a regiment wearing No.1 dress regimental uniform (Duke of Wellington's Regiment). Full dress is still regularly worn on ceremonial occasions by the Foot Guards, the Household Cavalry and the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery. It is issued at public expense to these units and to the various Royal Corps of Army Music Bands for ceremonial use.
Even weirder is that some people will initially see it as white and gold, but then look at an enhanced version of the picture and then see the different version. So imagine a yellow-y light on a white object - the brain understands that the yellow light is influencing the colour of the surface it’s landing on and will try and ignore it. So, individual variations in color perception may not purely be a matter of the nature and number of the cones in the retina. It can also be a result of the fact that people with different numbers of cones calibrate the input from the retina in different ways. Cates Holderness, who ran the Tumblr page for BuzzFeed at the site's New York offices, noted a message from McNeill asking for the site's help in resolving the colour dispute of the dress.
Most people’s first question when it came to The Dress was whether there was something wrong with – or different about – their colour vision. While variations between different people’s rods and cones can impact the way they interpret colour, that wasn’t what happened with The Dress. Usually, these types of changes in retinal cells from person to person produce only small differences when it comes to colour vision. Whatever was at work in February 2015 with this now-infamous photograph was much bigger than simple rods and cones. For people who see the dress as it is — black and blue — you're likely seeing the photo as over-exposed, with too much light, meaning that once the retina registers the image, the colors appear darker.
There is an objective fact about what wavelength of light it emits from your computer screen, but that wavelength of light is interpreted in different ways by different brains. I originally saw it as white & gold when I saw it on a forum Thursday night, and figured it was being posted by trolls 'cause they were asking people what color it was even when it was obviously white & gold. Friday morning I saw it on the news on TV, and they explained that some people see it as black & blue.
