I present: the spinning horse meets the blue/gold/white dress – and it's baffling the internet.This is a real life video of a horse standing in a stable. And the horse is clearly black... except, it isn't. Apparently it's white. I absolutely cannot see this however many times I come back to it, but people in the comments have learned how the horse is actually in shadow, clicked off and back onto it, and then can see that it's white.I'll share it below – can you see the horse as its real colour, or are you stuck in the same camp as me?This horse is white from r/opticalillusionsWith 4,500 upvotes on Reddit, the r/opticalillusions subreddit is taken with this illusion."I can no longer see it as a black horse but at first it was as black as midnight. Now it's white and I cant make it go back," one amazed comment reads."It's the exact same effect as the White/Gold Blue/Black dress," explains another. "It's an image where the subject is in shadow but the background is in bright sunlight and our brain struggles to differentiate the two lighting conditions." Remember this one?
