Does my bum look big in this? How many Kardashians are there? What colour was #thedress? The latter joined the raft of perennial fashion questions when The Dress or, as we liked to call it, The Magic Eye That’s Ruining Our Lives, became the garment that broke the internet. Apologies to Madonna’s malevolent cape. Was it black and blue or was it white and gold? Am I going mad? Does the fact I can see it as black and blue mean I’m secretly a serial killer?
Well, now there’s a new meme of mess with your head. And this time it’s a men’s shirt. Appearing on image-sharing community Imgur on Monday, the plaid shirt was shot under four pulsating nightclub lights: red, blue, green and white.
It started a debate in the comments section. “Is it blue and black or red and black?” asked one, with another stating: “It’s a red, green and blue shirt.” Other comments poured in. “The flashing lights act like a filter, preventing certain colours from being visible at certain times,” said vic6011. Previoustopcomment said: “The light makes the other colours seem black under red light, green has nothing to reflect and appears black.”
Colour vision expert Dr Jay Neitz Ph.D thinks that the shirt is two-tone. “I was able to look at the video frame by frame. When you do this it’s possible to see that in one frame the shirt is being illuminated by white light and the actual colors of the shirt are clearly evident. The shirt is blue and red.”
Alice Skelton, who works in the visual perception and cognition department at the University of Sussex, doesn’t believe that the shirt will become the new #thedress because it’s too easy to read. “What made the dress really unique is that even when you know why you’re seeing the dress in a certain way, it’s very very difficult to see it the way others do,” she says. “With the shirt, it’s a shared perception. Everyone sees the shirt as dramatically changing colour, so it’s not splitting opinion in the same way.”
