The colors of this photo will appear different to everyone. I think?

This.
This is the correct answer.
But no one will listen and this is how the world is going to end.

If the dress was in fact black and blue, like the one posted so much, wouldn't the blue be a deeper, richer blue and not a pale lighter blue people keep saying it is? Same with the "black" wouldn't it be, you know, black and now a dark brownish/yellow/gold? Especially when a picture was taken of it in the shade.

Definitely can't see Blue and Black. But I'm on an xbox one so who knows
We had someone call their parents over though, they said white and gold and he saw blue and black.
Although I don't think anyone sees pitch black. It's a brown.

Same QUOTE in that screen capture on my previous post, different colors from my screen capture?
WHAT THE FUCK MAN
Am I going nuts? Take a look everyone.
Look at my post on the previous page.

Oh my mistake then
time to order a new white and fucking gold dress
They have a white one. The original pic would have had its levels fucked with because there is no universe in which DARK blue looks LIGHTER in the shade.
Is the question referring to the background or the word?

Black and blue reporting for duty. My friend, who is older says white and gold.
Focus on the bottom left of the dress where it's darkest. Completely cover the rest of the dress if you need to. You need to accept that as the base colour so when you see the rest you accept the gold is a highlight. I found squinting a bit at first helped as well. I found it difficult at first as well.
I should point out that the colours don't actually change. It's the perception of the base colour that changes.
Perceptual differences when it comes to color, though?
Color?
I can accept it for white or blue but the the gold is so gold, brown at worst.

Fuck this dress.
this is completely unedited color-wise, just without the surroundings.
i really don't care about the white/blue but the rest is clearly gold.
Experiment time!
For the White Gold blokes, the picture is over exposed to death, so to under expose it, squint really really hard so that you're basically looking through your eyelashes.
Yep. Black and Blue.
What is this? It's so much more blue and black here.

The thing is, it's very important to distinguish whether you are able to contextualise the colour of the dress without the exposure, purely so we know where your arguments are coming from. You say that you don't understand why people are saying black, but is that just because you're interpreting the question as "What colours are you looking at"? Until we know what you think the dress looks like without exposure, we can't tell whether the difference in colour is down to the way you're processing the colour or the way you're interpreting the question.
So if you honestly can't understand how people are contextualising the image as black and blue, then all it means is that your eyes / brain aren't able to tell which way the colour has shifted based on colour context.
There's basically four kinds of people when it comes to being able to tell what colour the dress is IRL:
1) The people who are able to accurately tell how the dress colour has been shifted.
2) The people who can tell the colour is shifted, but aren't picking up the context right (they think it's been shifted colder making white seem more blue, where in actuality the opposite is true)
3) People who are a blank slate and their mind is constantly changing its interpretation of how the image should be.
4) People who can't do any of these.
There's obviously a second argument going on about what colour the actual pixels are, which is actually a lot less relevant because no one was actually arguing the true colour of the pixels.
No, the original dress is white and gold. However the lighting conditions in the photo are bad (note how the light on the right is a shade of blue) and this messes with the colour temperature and tints the dress.
If your eyes compensate for this, the dress appears white and gold. If you only examine the shades you see and ignore the lighting context, the dress apparently appears blue and black.

It's a screen capture of that page, the quoted pictures are from the same post and yet the dresses look different, wth
I'm more dreading the fallout from this. That one guy claiming it was part of experiment that proves it's affected by mood is the kind of shit that's annoying. Give it a day or two and there will be someone explaining it by dropping name quantum physics and toxins.

No. It's just a shitty, overexposed photo with awful white balance.
Its fake for attention
Yeah. If this wasn't fake.
I used the dropper tool to select one of the darker "black" areas.
Well it's black, just overexpose so looks kind of charcoal-like

Colors are subjective to their surroundings. There are actual wavelengths that create the colors, but our brains interpret these.

Yeah, I'm very sure this is a perception thing now(I can make it switch between the two if I focus hard enough). I feel much better now lol. Fairly sure the original dress is blue, but the photo fucked with things where your brain isn't sure what to 'correct' it to.
I'm sad no one commented on my avatar having blue hair :c
The thread title is pretty clear on this front.
This "black and blue" nonsense would be right if the question was "what do you think the colors of the dress in this photo are?", like it is in the tumblr postings, but that's not the case in this thread! The colors are some sort of pale, wash out blue and a dirty, yellowish brown and their hex values make it obvious.

I had the image open on my Facebook when I found this thread. I saw the original as white and gold. Then I came to your post and saw the black and blue one. Now when I look back at the Facebook page I see it as black and blue. Same exact image, I didn't even reload the page. Holy what the fuck shit is going on with my mind.
