    The point is that a black-and-blue dress, when brightly lit, will look eerily similar to a white-and-gold dress, when it’s in shade.

        It’s a demonstration of how tinting can make two different colors appear the same. Zoom in and you’ll see it

        Left vs right:

        I don’t see it either. I still see it clearly as black and blue on the left and gold and white on the right, even with the filter they are trying to apply overlaid.

          There is nothing to “see”. They are, on your screen, identically coloured on the left and right in the “boxed” sections.

          Yes, they look different to you. They are not actually different colours. That is the optical illusion.
