Mind Blowing Dress Color Debate

By now, I'm sure you've seen a photo of a dress and a variety of responses to the question, "What color is this dress?"  Most people either see it as black/blue or gold/white.  I clearly saw a gold and white dress and frankly, couldn't understand why anyone would answer differently.  There's not a smidge of blue OR black in this dress, I thought.  Turns out, I was wrong.  And celebrities like Taylor Swift and Mindy Kaling were right, posting their "blue and black" votes on Twitter.   This silly question pretty much blew up on social media over the past several days!  I know there are bigger problems in the world that I could be addressing, but this dress thing is really perplexing me!  What colors did you first see when you saw the photo of the dress?  I've done some reading, trying to understand this strange optical illusion.  I'm not sure I fully grasp what's going on but this article helped so I'll share the link with you here:  http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/02/28/science/white-or-blue-dress.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&bicmp=AD&bicmlukp=WT.mc_id&bicmst=1409232722000&bicmet=1419773522000&_r=1
