Do You See These Sneakers as Teal and Grey, or Pink and White?
A repeat of #TheDress, this time with footwear
Take a look at this photo: What color are these shoes?
Enter a caption (optional)I see teal and grey, and while many others do as well, apparently another chunk of the population sees these shoes as pink and white. Yep, it echoes that blue/black or white/gold dress photo that was making the rounds in 2015.
Here's what the shoes look like on Vans' website:
As with the dress, the reason each of us see the sneakers as one set of colors or the other is "a perception issue. It's the way the brain processes information that comes in," eye surgeon Paul Dougherty told TODAY in 2015. "Everyone's brain is different, so even though it's the same stimulus coming in, which it is, everyone processes the information differently."
Is there any more fitting metaphor for our society today, where we all look at the same issues—political, social, economic, religious—and cannot agree on what we see?

Looks like that photo was taken in the dark under suspect lighting conditions, or a crappy phone camera! Quite possibly was done on purpose, I suspect.
I am not color blind. The teal and grey are not in stock.
If you pull it into any photo editing app and white balance and adjust the warmth for the skintone it corrects the color back to pink and white.
This was photoshopped. Look at the tongue. It's supposed to be the same color as the rest of the leather upper, but whoever altered this was lazy and didn't want to select out the contour of the laces.
Agree; plus, wouldn't I see both shoe photos as teal and grey?
Yes, it's photoshopped. But it's the white balance that is changed. If you change the white spot of the photo to the teal area you change it back to the original colors and get a pink shoe. To get this gray and teal effect they have chosen the pink area as the white spot.
