@UglierBetty: because it's cool to know people see such different colors, and I don't get how people see black and blue still if the color palette shows different

it's actually black and blue because when the sun shines on the dress, the black actually looks gold.

Actually, it's been scientifically confirmed that it is in fact a black and blue dress. You can actually buy the dress and you will
See that it is black and blue. There are two main reasons to this. First being the glare in the back throws your eyes off. Secondly, your eyes are made of two main cells on the retina called cones and rods. Usually, people have a slight bias due to the shape of eye and position of the retina. That bias is a bit more present in white/gold viewers. Seeing the dress in any other perspective will
Make this effect clear. It's the same concept of the "blind spot" everyone has in their eyes, in which your brain just "assumes" something and puts it in the blind spot

no its not. its so easy to tell I don't know why people are making a big deal out of it.
Step 1 print screen the image
step 2 open paint and paste the image
step 3 use the color picker tool (the blue and white dropper) click on a part of the dress
step 4 realize that the colors selected are a light blue and an olive green/gold color.

[quote=DeprivedChild]Nope, no matter what, I see a white dress that is in shading that makes it look bluish with gold stripes. I've seen pictures in articles with people actually getting the colour on Photoshop palette, and it looks just as is for me. I see the colours the palette show.[/quote]

It looks white and gold but the lighting is absolutely terrible so I wouldn't be surprised if it's black and blue.

Look at the right image then go back and look at the original image. It made my perception of it change from white/gold to blue/black. Not sure how it exactly works, but I'm fairly sure the lighting and how your eyes compensate makes it look different colors.[/quote]
