Note: this blue&black vs. white&gold dress "illusion" (and probably quickly fading meme) is fascinating to me because it highlights how we might be interpreting reality differently without even knowing it.
The beta tool just provides an (imperfect) way to try to quantify where one might be on the scale of being a blue&black or white&gold - and I think it is a scale because I have read how some people even looking at the original image might have it flip back and forth.
