I see an aqua and a grayish white

Aqua and gray.

Pink and white

Pink and white

Pink and white

I see them both ways, though I saw teal and gray first.

Pink and white.

I showed it to my DH. He says Hugh Hewitt is using the "dress color debate" as a metaphor for Republicans & Dems seeing the same situation, each claiming they won. Soooooooooooooo.....the new metaphor will be THIS shoe.

It's good of you to have posted it, so I'll know what they are speaking of.

:) gray and aqua

Grey and aqua. Or, if you want to split hairs, a warm grey and vivid aqua.

Gray and aqua on this desktop.

Wait, are you saying the color changes predicated on the political leanings of the individual accessing the file? How dey do dat?

Your picture is aqua and grey....on T.V. this morning it was pink and white.

I only see grey and aqua, even when I look at other sites, I only see grey and aqua. For those of you who see pink and white - which is the pink and which is the white?

Gray and aqua must be for liberals cuz that’s what I see

I'm going to toss in a monkey wrench here. I see gray and seafoam. Aqua has more blue tones than what I'm seeing in the shoe. Does that mean I'm an Independent?

Pink. I haven't seen this one before. Pink is the main part, white trim.

OK, this is nuts. I saw gray and aqua...got up and made the bed, cleaned up, etc...I come back and now it's pink and white. Go figure.

I think the political metaphor doesn't mean gop see one color and dems see another, but rather that two people can look at the exact same thing and see it very differently.

If you see turquoise and grey, which part is turquoise?

Bpath, the laces are turquoise/aqua and the shoe is grey

The gray is the canvas, the aqua is the trim.

Terrific...now I'm seeing pink with aqua trim!

I think they needed correct lighting for that photo.

DH and I see pink, DS sees grey. But, when I scroll quickly onto the image, I see grey and turquoise but it changes almost instantly to pink.

I see gray shoes with aqua trim and laces. However, when I adjust the "levels" in Photoshop, this is what I get:

I saw gray and minty green in the first pic, but I was thinking that the gray was a shade toward lavender--so I suspected the alternate color would be in the pink/lavender range. After seeing the above pink shoe, I see a grayish pink shoe in first pic--not a clear pink--with greenish laces and trim. Like a pink and white shoe that was washed with a new black sweatshirt.

I see a pink shoe, (although it's kind of a 'grayish' pink) with white laces and trim. The shadows on the trim show as a very pale aqua-blue.

How people perceive color has always been fascinating to me.

Rusty

I see aqua and grey mostly, but the toe piece tends to a pale lavender!

Pink and white.

Lars...on my screen ....your photo is a hotter pink....and a brighter white. lol

It I flip through and see it in a flash I see a gray aqua flash but as soon as it settles on the picture I see pink with white trim.

All I did to revise the photo was to use "Auto Levels" in Photoshop, which makes corrections for the lighting used in the photo.

On my tablet the color shifts a bit as the viewing angle changes. Is there also a political metaphor to understanding an issue differently if you try to change your perspective? Like walk in another's shoes?

At first I saw grey/aqua, then looked away for a moment and saw pink/white. I keep going back to it and only see the pink and white now. Weird.

This just showed up on my FB and the narrative with the picture talks about right brain/left brain dominant. If right brain dominant then pink/white will be seen and if left brain dominant then grey/aqua will be seen.

And it appears if you are handy with photoshop colours you can make it any darn colour you want.

ETA - and out of a sample size of 1 (me) I am left-brain (by the definition of such and of that there is no doubt) and I see grey/aqua.

gray and turquoise

Gray and turquoise. I read the same article as blfenton. And I am definitely left brained for the most part. But I see the photo Lars posted as pink and white.

Pink and white. No matter how I look at it, I don't see a hint of aqua or turquoise.

Pink and white under a grayish blue light.

Pink on my monitor! Weird...

This is another version I did adjusting the "levels" manually. In Photoshop, it is easy to see when adjusting the levels that the "red" hue is way off in the original photo. If you have Photoshop, I suggest that you analyze the levels on your own. This is a case of bad lighting, in my opinion. In the original photo, the hand holding the shoe looks almost gray and not flesh colored.

I don't know why people get so excited over these type of things. Lighting affects color whether that light is coming from the setting on your screen or the lighting under which the photo was taken.

It's no different than how store or display lighting makes goods look different than we we get them home.

Watchmelol, What's interesting is that DH and I see one thing, and at the exact same instant DS sees something else. Even when we each look at it full on on the same device.

Well, all I know is I've looked at the same picture on the same device and have seen it both ways. It's very weird.

I see pink shoes with very light green trim and laces.

Here is the scientific explanation beyond light. This is why you can see it one color and then another after looking at it for a time. I noticed this when seeing color changes on bedding and sheets when I am fatigued. That was what originally led me to this answer.

Thank you Lars. I only saw the grey and teal. I wanted to see the pink and white. Well done!

I see pink canvas and sea-foam green trim. Balanced brain?

Grey and aqua (or light green) is what I see. I too saw it on Facebook.

This is my photoshop version. I first saw gray/green in Annie's pic, but after viewing Lars' pic, I can no longer see gray/green in any pic I've since seen on the 'net. I see a grayed version of pink. Does that mean my brain is left, right, or totally confused? ;]

ETA, I used the feature that takes color from a section of the pic, to choose the colors for the text on the shoes. The colors of the text below the pics are the stock colors in my Paint program.
