Nobody Can Agree On The Color It Seems
Deadspin’s Concourse says It’s blue and brown according to Photoshop. Buzzfeed launched a poll. The BBC News anchor claimed to see blue and black. Nobody knows, really.
Science Says It’s Blue And Black
According to Wired:
“What’s happening here is your visual system is looking at this thing, and you’re trying to discount the chromatic bias of the daylight axis,” says Bevil Conway, a neuroscientist who studies color and vision at Wellesley College. “So people either discount the blue side, in which case they end up seeing white and gold, or discount the gold side, in which case they end up with blue and black.”
