Black and blue to me, but other people here in my house say white and gold though.

light blue and gold.
i can certainly understand calling it white and gold, but anyone saying black is crazy.
Yeah, these are the colours that I get when I use a colour picker. Pretty close to what you have, though I probably pulled these from different parts of the image resulting in some slightly different shades:
That's a case of terrible viewing angles. RIP

Seriously, it's plainly blue and a dark, somewhat brownish gold. I can sort of see how the gold might be an overexposed black, but I cannot fathom how you can see white in that.
This dress got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I've ever dreamed of

Higher than the heavens above
This is clearly bullshit
There is some serious fucking trolling going on in this thread, saying that looks deep blue...
Yeah, it's overexposed. There's still blue in there, but it's SO blown out, the color becomes very faded in a way that fucks with your eyes pretty bad. It's subtle blue, and our eyes are less sensitive to blue, so it has a hard time picking it up.
But make no mistake, there is also a saturated black, and it's saturated in a way that yellow dominates. It's not a colorless black.
By the way, it's these issues that make color grading a nightmare.

I only see blue and black.
I change the brightness on my phone and still see blue and black.

Black and blue, although the black is a more muddy brown/gold, but I can tell it's overexposed black and not actually that colour.
I'm as confused as you are. Except the other way around. Like it's the whitest white and goldest gold.
lmao
It changes somehow. 90% of the time it's black & blue for me, but when I viewed it on mobile it changed to white & gold on both of my monitors for a few seconds.

Come on guys, HOW IS THIS BLACK?
It's easy to make it look not-black when you pick the lightest part of the dress.

Oh that's "#TheDress"
I see black and blue myself.

It literally looks exactly like that no matter which part of the dress you're looking at.
This is literally happening to me too.

Same reason people see the center tiles on each face of this cube as different colors.
People will say white because they perceive it as white in a shadow, badly lit and exposed.
I see blue/black if I tilt the shit out of my phone.
That's... just black with some light shining on it.
Come on guys, HOW IS THIS BLACK?
I'm sorry you had to find out this way
well the thing about black is that it doesn't care about the lighest part of the dress or not.

So you see what, a gradient? That fades to black?
If I take a colour picker, I can see that the darkest part of the dress is that colour with less luminance.

I am Korean.
Go back to living underground morlock.
Funny thing is, knowing what the dress looks like now I can go back and focus on it, and it starts shifting to blue.
Come on guys, HOW IS THIS BLACK?
That's as dark as 3:00 A.M
it makes sense to do that when it's the only part of the dress that's actually lit.

White and gold, but...
how much of this is due to monitor/screen colors being all over the place? Because screen colors are all over the place...

I've used my monitor and my phone and a tablet, with different brightness settings and color temperatures, and it is firmly and solidly blue and gold, enduring like the Rock of Gibraltar. The only difference is that on one, the gold looked darker and more blackish.
