Look at the upper right only and it's white and gold, look at the lower right and it's black and blue.
Color balance is so cool, I think it's the strong inverse color of the back lighting causing this effect, along with the fact that shadowed white looks bluish. |

| Hmmm, all the white looks bluish on my monitor... |

| Something wonky with your eyes, boss. I don't see anything weird. Maybe it's my eyes that are wonky, hmm. |

| I'm so confused... It's nothing but blue and back (well, sickly grey) to me. How can anyone see white and gold anywhere (except in the background of the shot itself) |

My eyes work fine. Better than most in fact, as I can see exactly why this is so controversial. If you learn to look at it 'right' you can easily switch your perception of the colors here.

| anyway, i just sampled the gold in 40 different places and averaged the rgb values. it's definitely gold, fellas. |

| There is an optical phenomenon which may account for what you're seeing, where after persistent viewing of something you can look away and see the "opposite" -- I think the classic is to stare at a photo of an American flag for a couple of minutes and then quickly look away at a plain white wall/surface, and I think the stripes will "change color" ... |

I figured it was a matter of white balance vs human perception.

| Even looking at those three pictures I see it as blueish white and gold. In the last one I just see it as a severely color casted and darkened version. |

On the radio this morning they were talking about this, they said it has to do with your mood.
75% will see white & gold if you have issues you see black & blue. |

LOL I can't believe howmuch argument there was over this on a few pages that posted it under facebook, pretty funny.. people started getting really rude to each other over it LOL! All I did was sit and laugh
I think it just proves to show how we see things in different lighting

| I showed this to my daughters, age 14 and 11 and they could only see blue and black. I can only see white and gold. I do see how someone could see the blue in the white since the white balance is obviously on the cool side but I just can't make the gold be black at all. So weird how different our eyes can see things makes you question helping anyone with their photos. How do we trust what our eyes see. |

Yes. This. it's the gold part that's blowing my mind. |

| Being discussed at work here ... general consensus is it's white (actually lt blue) and gold. Nobody here (5 of us) see it as blue and black. :-) |

Someone is saying it is an age thing. Younger eyes see things differently. But Wendy sees it blue and black and I know other people my age that see it that way so that theory doesn't hold a lot of water.
BTW: I just tested it on my youngest daughter age 7 and she sees blue and black as well. |

| It's blue and black. Really. |

Science behind why we see it differently
This article explains it well. And once my 7 year old saw the photos in this article she now can see it in white and gold. |
