INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the color perception of the dress and functional, postural lateral preferences of some morphometric traits and chewing side preference. METHODS: Information on color perception of the dress, handedness, footedness, eyedness, earedness, hand clasping, arm folding, hand clapping, leg crossing, earlobe attachment, tongue rolling, blood group and chewing side was collected from 240 individuals. RESULTS: 18.3 % of participants described the dress as blue-black, 40.4 % as white-gold, 5.4 % as blue-brown, 20.8 % as switch and 15.0% as something else. No differences in gender, handedness, footedness, earedness, eyedness, hand clasping, hand clapping, leg crossing, earlobe attachment and preferred chewing side were found for the color perception of the dress. There was a significant relationship between groups in arm folding and tongue rolling ability. There was also a significant relationship between arm folding and eyedness. We found a switch from blue-brown, blue-black, white-gold or something else colors initially to blue-brown, blue-black, white-gold or something else colors in switch group. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Since there was little information about relationship between laterality and the dress color, this study was conducted and a significant relationship between these two subjects is reported for the first time in the present study in our knowledge.
