...? The dress on the left is white and the one on the right is blue. Are you trying to say you see the left as blue and the right as white? lol

yeah that's correct I guess. Not really cerulean, more of a lighter shade of blue+purple ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periwinkle_%28color%29]periwinkle[/url]). As for where black is coming from, it looks brown/gold in the picture right? People are interpreting it as black, which makes sense because of the lightings and stuff. Actual dress is blue and black anyways. I can also see why people see it as gold if it's a dark kind of gold.
What I don't get is how people are seeing the blue as white. It doesn't look anywhere close to white.

Are you seeing a white dress AND a white background in the original? Blue dress and black/blue background in the inverted?

@DeprivedChild @NaakteShadow okay what color backgrounds do you two see here: http://i.imgur.com/CvEixZ9.jpg left is original, right is inverted.
Also, what colors are these squares? http://i.imgur.com/RsvSM5N.jpg

and @NaakteShadow ...more like how can people be seeing white? the only white in the original picture is the bright sunny background. As for your bet, you'll 200% lose. The dress is actually blue+black and the person did take another picture. http://swiked.tumblr.com/post/112158479910/trinititties-snacksandharts-swiked

Looks like a white gold dress in shading that makes it look blue and gold. I don't know where the black is coming from, but I just see a bluish and gold dress, probably white irl, but that contradicts the apparent true colours which are blue and black.

weird blue/purplish and a weird black/brownish
idk why it would be white, but I can sort of see a darkish kind of gold

edit: "a periwinkle and poop brown color"
