Remember this controversial dress which had many confused over the colours? Scientists now say the dress in the original photo was made up of pixels that were Brown And Blue.
The difference in what we saw was down to the way our brains filter light and if we are more accustomed to processing indoor or outdoor light.
US neuroscientist Dr Bevil Conway, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said people who perceive white and gold stripes may be more attuned to daylight while those who see a black and blue dress are more accustomed to indoor lighting.
The brains of "brown and blue" individuals were likely to fall in a bracket somewhere between.
He said: "The big open question is what causes these differences in the population.
Dr Conway also found that perception differed by age and sex.
Older people and women were more likely to report seeing white and gold, while a larger proportion of younger people saw black and blue.
His was one of three papers addressing The Dress enigma published in the journal Current Biology
