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

If you're seeing those as the same color I don't know what to say.

That if people are seeing those two as the same color they should see an optometrist.
Yeah it's totally beyond me.

I saw white and gold previously, but now I see blue and dark brown. I think I looked at it so much I am starting to mix them.
Stop this nonsense right now.
Go see a doctor.
To test for colorblindness?
My dad's an ophthalmologist and couldn't really pin down an explanation as to what is happening here. Likely it isn't akin to traditional colorblindness.
Now wait just a goddamn minute!Sooo I walked past Roman today....

I am unfamiliar with this UNC but after a quick google.
Obviously it doesn't. The collar is tinted with red and there is a small black bar near the bottom with the word 'Jordan' imprinted on it.
I see a white with a definite blue tint. As a photographer I often see that kind of tint in photos with a lot of snow. I know snow is white despite that blue tint and I guess my eyes have come to therefore see white instead of blue on that dress.Yeah it's totally beyond me.

I also have to add that seeing black in both those photos is insanse to me.
It's sky blue, it's not remotely close to pure white.
And the other colour is brown to blackish brown at the bottom.

I can't see anything other than white and gold. Granted, the white is very slightly blue-ish... but still clearly white.
Gold is straight gold.
Gold is straight gold.
So does Argentina wear all white jerseys? Because that dress is as white as this jersey is all white.
Nothing else in the photo has a blue tint. Why would you go with white with blue tint over everything being over exposed?
The upper one is of a purer white but to me they're still both white.
I don't know what the fuck is going on, but take a really shitty photo of that dress and you have the picture in the OP.
I'm team white and gold, both last night and now on my phone too.
Never mind, I think I've been fooled by that picture lol.

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but how come in the original pic, I see it as white/gold, but other pics such as the poster earlier posted:
I see as black/blue? Is it just that the original pic has poor lighting(which kind of tests your cones) and thats where the discrepancy comes from?

Right and out of all the explanations given so far, the one in the OP seems to be the most valid.
Seeing as how blue is the most sensitive cone, it makes sense that being able to pick out blue from an over-exposed picture could be harder to do. I feel like people are just posting and freaking out without bothering to read.
Going to an optometrist won't change anything. You can have 20/20 and not be colorblind, but still see white/gold. It's very possible people don't take care of their eyes as well as they'd like to believe they do.
For all you white/gold people, do you keep your monitors brightness level near max (80-100) at all times, even when it's really dark outside? Do you turn on the lights when it gets dark outside to combat the brightness of the monitor, do you just bask in the super light shining on your face?
Yeah it's totally beyond me.

What Im trying to figure out is how people are perceiving a white dress with a shadow that blue. You can tell pretty much if something is really blue or if its white with a bluish shadow/reflection off something else. Its so clearly blue. the gold part could be debated more, but Ive seen enough "black" color that wasnt to know that lighting can make it appear yellow or green or any other range of colors. The dress is TOO blue to be a reflection or shadow. It would be lighter than that, such as the washed out comparison photo someone made. I could believe THAT was white.
What you're trying to do here is like take the twirling dancer optical illusion and compare it to a normal video of a person who's clearly twirling clockwise and ask "Does this person look like she's spinning counterclockwise to you?"

You white/gold people need to get a 3DS and train up your eyes to the next level.
The 'blue' in the picture is way closer to a grey than the blue in your picture. Perhaps you've seen a lot of pictures that have dark objects turn white because of over-exposure.So does Argentina wear all white jerseys? Because that dress is as white as this jersey is all white.
Nothing else in the photo has a blue tint. Why would you go with white with blue tint over everything being over exposed?
No, I'm not, at all. There are several white reference points around that dress that clearly show that it is not white and further that there is not a blue tint on anything in the photo. It's just blue.
Wonder if monitor calibration matters.
Well I just got my eyes checked and calibrated my monitor. Not going blind as far as I know.
No the dress isn't white white. But at a quick glance it looks closer to white and gold than blue and black.
But only for that picture. And I don't know how it was taken.
edit: If you use Photoshop the white is definitely blue even though it was never white white, but the black is clearly not black. The dropper says it's gold.

You white/gold people are weird. The only way you could interpret that dress as white is if the white balance was severely incorrect. But there's a reference white right beside the dress, which you clearly see is more yellowish than blueish.
Those two parts are in different lighting conditions
It doesn't have to be explained away with people not "taking care" of their eyes. I think the explanation in the OP is what's inflaming people more than anything. Rarely do people want to be told they have "inferior" anything.
I've been playing on a 3DS since launch.
Not color blind. Have poor vision, but go to the optometrist every year for a new prescription.I checked on my laptop and my phone. Still white and gold.
