Looks like the dress news is on local TV in Australia too judging by comments I see in my Twitter.
The colors of this photo will appear different to everyone. I think?

Its just your perception of it. Really, its possible for it to change.

Without any context I saw the picture and it was White and Gold, I mean undeniably so to my perception.
Even with all the subsequent comparisons and contrasts and logical explanations it look white and gold to me.
A few minutes ago I went to the Buzzfeed article and it was blue and gold-ish brown. I went off the page and came back a few minutes later and it was back to white and gold.
I don't even know anymore.

Well, why did you bring up the color blindness test then? So you're now in agreement that it's a post-processing optical illusion then? Because the hypothesis I was disagreeing with was talking about sensitivity. How did I miss the point if you're now saying the same thing I was the whole time?

I see white with a very slight blue tint, and gold.
The photo is overexposed. Yes, the colour in the photo is brownish, but it's just washed out due to the terrible photography.
It's anime now:
okay now I understand where people get the black from
Are you changing the hue here or the brightness? Changes from white/gold to black/blue.Just curious, does this make any difference?:

Intuition confirmed with PS sir
. Probably saved their color space ($40 says it was "monitor RGB")I made a gif (256 colors good enough to illustrate the difference).
Also it should help people who are seeing white, see the blue that others are seeing.
Though some people are saying they see the blue and black like the dress looks on the store page...I'm not seeing that at ALL.

Where is the blue in the image coming from? Where in a retail store have you ever seen a blue spotlight?
I wonder if this going to end up being some kind of major revelation about how poor some people's monitors are at color reproduction.

It's white again. Please kill me.
Nah people are crazy for not seeing the blue!
I can't see it as white at all. Blue and brown/gold.

So many people with such inferior eyesight, I pity thee.
It's blue and black of course.
It's blue and black of course.
So, how do differences in the physical eye factor in in this illusion then?
Why would a shadow be blue indoors? Where is the blue coming from?

I think some random image just accidentally hacked the human mind.

This is the first thing that has demonstrated to me that it can be perceived as white. When the dress is at the absolute darkest blue, the contrast makes the jacket/shoulder part seem white with a very slight blue tint because of the contrast. I still see it as blue when the image fades to it's original color, also during most of the fade. I can't see the entire thing as white without the stark contrast of the manipulated image.

The whole picture just looks like bad lighting which makes it hard to judge what color it is. It looks blue but because of how messed up the picture is I wouldn't doubt the real thing is brighter and whiter, or for that matter bluer and blacker.
Tried to find a better example, but imagine if less of the bright rays of light reflected on the white spots of this cloth, it would look like a dull blue color.

I saw it as white and gold at first, then I covered over the background of the pic with my hands and watched it transform to blue and black in real time. Then I lost my concentration and looked back and it was white. Trippy stuff.

I should probably just be thankful that my eyes are seeing the image as the object actually is in real life (blue/black), but it does annoy me that I can't trigger the optical illusion that makes people see white and gold.
Knowing it is blue/black in real life it would piss me off if my eyes could only see white/gold. Still I always sucked at those magic eye poster tricks and it looks like I can't pull off the white/gold optical illusion either unless someone comes up with a method to trigger it.
So it would be fun if someone who can see both comes up with a reliable method to get the image to change at will. With the magic eye posters it was always unfocus your eyes and move the image slowly away from your face.

Everything in the image has a yellow haze to it, including the floor and the black and white object behind the dress to the left. There actually isn't anything in that image that's black - even in shadow. It's all yellow.
And yellow is the opposite of blue, btw.

But... the image itself is overexposed and is gold and blue.
Seeing any black at all is your eyes playing tricks on you, it doesn't matter what the actual dress is, it matters what the digital image is.
Yeah, what is going on? The first time I saw it it was white and gold. Then I scrolled down, looked away from the screen, and now it's blue and black? How is this possible??

Very important. I think this has been time well spent for the human race.
At first glance I saw white/gold then read some GAF comments - scrolled up it's now blue/black. I'm tripping out right now.

I showed the image around the office. Big mistake. No more work will be done until the white and gold people are converted.

There are hints of blue fading in the upper right corner and a bit down the right side from that corner fading into whatever that object is (which appear to be a dark color). This picture is too messed up to judge anything and our brains are correcting it to be one way or another.
What I actually see : Blue and brown/goldish color
What it most likely is: Blue and Black
What it could also be: White and brown/gold/orange with skittles in the picket.
well okay the original dress is blue and black but the colors in the picture have been altered
let's just settle on blue and gold
The blue is easily mistaken for a shadow. Just looks like a blue tinged shadow on white.
Convert them, convert them all. It would not be safe to work amongst them otherwise, their judgement is impaired.
That's the complete opposite angle, though. Look at the floor. It's completely bathed in yellow light.
I see the brownish tinge to the black stripes but I know that's a factor of the shitty camera. It's a blue and black dress. I mean either that, or it's a blue and brown dress which just makes no goddamn sense.
thought everyone was just trolling who said that it's white and gold.
Now I've read an article that basically states that people use color correction. Some tend to leave golden colors out, some leave blue colors out. And all this correction happens because people are used to see things under different daytime conditions and therefore correct all colors in regards of the time / lighting.
Guess the guys who see it as blue / black are childs of the night. Because we don't care about color correction or daytime / lighting.

I have sympathy though, I was one of them once.
Showed one guy on my phone, he swore white and gold. He looked it up on his monitor and had the 'shit, it's black and blue' moment and now when he looks at my phone he sees black and blue. We've let him in our camp, but tied him up until we're certain he's legit.
