  title = {{Exploring the Determinants of Color Perception Using \#Thedress and Its Variants: The Role of Spatio-Chromatic Context, Chromatic Illumination, and Material-Light Interaction}},
  journal = {{Perception}},
  abstract = {{The colors that people see depend not only on the surface properties of objects but also on how these properties interact with light as well as on how light reflected from objects interacts with an individual\textquoterights visual system. Because individual visual systems vary, the same visual stimulus may elicit different perceptions from different individuals. \#thedress phenomenon drove home this point: different individuals viewed the same image and reported it to be widely different colors: blue and black versus white and gold. This phenomenon inspired a collection of demonstrations presented at the Vision Sciences Society 2015 Meeting which showed how spatial and temporal manipulations of light spectra affect people\textquoterights perceptions of material colors and illustrated the variability in individual color perception. The demonstrations also explored the effects of temporal alterations in metameric lights, including Maxwell\textquoterights Spot, an entoptic phenomenon. Crucially, the demonstrations established that \#thedress phenomenon occurs not only for images of the dress but also for the real dress under real light sources of different spectral composition and spatial configurations.}},
