People are being delusional and are happy living a lie.
The colors of this photo will appear different to everyone. I think?

Just because the dress itself is black doesn't mean the picture is actually showing black.
Can someone tell me with a straight face that both of these colors are black?
That's where the wording of the question comes into play.
What color is the dress actually?
Or
What color are the actual pixels in the digital photograph of the dress?

I'm sure climate change deniers say the same thing.

Can you with a straight face tell me the this color swatch taken directly from the image is gold?
Can you also tell me that this dress which is the same dress is white and gold?

Your brain adjusts color data based on context.
That's why green can look yellow in a blue room.
In the same way, when you look at the picture in different context (manipulations presents in this thread) your brain can do the switch and compensate the color it sees, to the one it think it should be seeing.

What color combination do I need to see to be better than the average person? Because that's the one I'm seeing here.

Quoting myself. The picture can look like both. The digital color you will sample is white and gold (due to exposure changes). The true color of the dress is black and blue. The color you perceive is due to how you analyze the picture. I would guess that if you are a logical/systematic person you might see white and gold. If you are an artsy type person you might see black and blue.
Black and blue is not the color that is digitally on the screen, but it is the correct color your brain might pick up on.

The mind can do some crazy things. This is kind of similar I think, where square A and B are the same colour but your mind sees them as different because it's compensating for the shadow.
Well we know the dress is in fact black and blue.
The actual pixels are nowhere near black by any means.

There's no way that's white. It's very clearly blue...

Okay, when I clicked on this thread and saw the OP's picture, it was white and gold.
"...Okay," so I thought, "It's a color blindness test. Nothing to see here. Moving along for reactions..."
I scroll down...
...
Then scroll back up a little later. My reaction was thusly:
The picture CHANGED. It was now blue and black. I blinked my eyes, looked away from the screen then back, refreshed the page multiple times... It was still blue and black.
WTF just happened?! Is this a trick?!

Isn't this a useless exercise if variables such as monitor/screen settings aren't taken into consideration? Also software differences.

Someone has to get a hold of Ja Rule so we can make some sense of this.
The real question is not what color is in the picture, but what is the color of the dress in the picture.

There are actually people arguing that on this very page.

For the first couple of minutes reading through the responses, I thought this was some kind of insider joke/prank experiment. So the people who are saying its white and gold, do they not see any blue in the dress?
Basically, it is like the spinning girl gif was just thrown on the internet with no explanation and everyone is arguing which direction they see.
Guys. What the dress actually is, is moot.
What the pixels are, is also moot.

I looked at the dress on the same screen multiple times and I've seen both color variations.

So who is seeing more "accurately" then?
I think the people who are seeing white and gold are seeing what the actual color value is on the monitor.. But the actual dress is black and blue (isn't it?), so who is really the more accurate?

WHAT. THE. FUCK.This optical illusion should explain what's going on here. Your mind will compensate colors based on previous context. That's why people "correctly" see the dress as blue and black despite the yellow turning the black a goldish hue.

None of your posts make any sense. You give wrong answers for the math puzzle, you take the wrong image to take pixels from etc.
And now you are posting an image that has nothing to do with this illusion.
Here. Fixed the exposure.
Staring at this picture makes me see the original black and blue but after awhile it goes back to white and gold until I stare at this photo again.
No, it changes on the same monitor same lighting conditions when you've reached full enlightenment.

I'm on team white/gold.
But yeah, the white does clearly have a bluish tone. But if I had to define the color I'd say it's closer to white than blue

The white definitely has blue in it...I see exactly what photoshop was reading the colors to be...except for perceptually the blueish white are appears lighter to me...
Oh, I'm not talking about the dress, but the color of the pixels in the photo.
Regardless, I see the black now, lol.

This is really cool.
Around 20 years. What people are mistaking for gold is a black fabric under intense lighting and shot with an improper exposure. Purely black dyes don't actually exist, they are all just very dark colors; in this case, it's a very dark brown. The blue is similarly way more washed out than how it would appear in person.
Out of 670,000 visitors at one point, 500,000 were on mobile phones (or tablets, I guess) rather than computers.
To me this is the most mind-blowing thing in this thread so far.
No, I don't get out much. Why do you ask??

This is too much...
You're going to feel so weird when your brain starts interpreting the image more accurately.
While I see white and gold currently as I write this, the lighting in the image will make much more sense when you see it as blue and black.
I mean the people who already know it's blue and black aren't arguing that the pixels themselves are completely black.
The people who somehow still think the actual dress is white and gold when we have proof from another photo is just something else.
