It's still amazing to me how much this screws with people. That not everyone experiences things the same way shouldn't be a hard concept.

White and gold obviously.
Scrolls down....reads some comments....scroll back up.
WTF, how did that happen. Now it's black and blue.
Always been black and blue for me. Never been able to see it as white and gold.
I've seen both. Blue and black more though
I generally see the black and blue, but I find it pretty easy to see the white and gold too if I focus on the top part of the image.
Me and my gf are looking at the same picture on the same screen. I see gold and white and she sees black and blue. What the actual fuck?
It's always been white and gold.
I see tremendous sadness everywhere I look, overtaking the entirety of humankind and sending us into a spiral towards the vast, infinite void of the unknown; the final, peaceful reprieve we struggle to prevent.
Jk white and gold.
Edit: now blue and gold. I hate this picture sometimes.
So I can only see white and gold, but if I angle my phone away from me and look at the side, it turns black and blue. When I straighten it out again, back to white and gold.
I See &... I mean & ;
White and gold
I’m seeing gold and white. My eyes aren’t great, curious if people with astigmatisms or something are more prone to seeing it one way over the other.
I've seen both, but right now, I'm seeing black and blue.
Ahh, the black and white dress, good times.
2015 called, it wants its trends back
It's clearly a white and gold dress under a somewhat blue light (probably sunlight through clouds or maybe a "daylight" bulb).
If you see differently, I strongly recommend a colour blindness test, it could change your life for the better! <3
It's clearly white and gold to me. I showed my son and wife and they need to get their eyes checked because they both see blue and black. I could see my wife trolling me, my son too, but I asked him before I asked her, and he's too young to have seen this the last time it came around.

I'm looking at the image on a very high quality OLED screen. On an OLED, it's very obviously NOT black. You can see the top of the dress in the light and it's not at all black. The black on my screen makes that incredibly obvious. Who cares what it is in real life, I'm not judging that, I'm judging the image and black is not a part of the dress, in this image.
The Guardian's image is black and blue. The image in this thread IS NOT. My eyes may look red in a photo, that doesn't mean they're really red. An image is not a perfect reflection of reality.
