Has an optical illusion ever prompted you to see colors that weren't actually there? Or have you wondered why the infamous photo of "the dress" was perceived as white and gold by some but blue and black by others?
In essence, how can colors appear different from what they actually are?
In some cases, the answer has to do with lighting; in others, it depends on our memories or what our photoreceptors are doing, experts told Live Science.

I enjoy things like this. It really makes you wonder. Our perception isn’t always reality. The problem today is people want to make realty a perception. Each person can have a different realty depending on their perception or what they want to be their reality. Sorry, but gravity always works.

I experience this all of the time…maybe my cataract lens replacement or damage to the same eye earlier, but I see red brocade patterns while folding black clothing. Weird.
