I find the question a bit misleading as well.
Instead of asking what colour do you see in the photo in the dress. They asked 2 set of colour.
Especially WHEN THERES NO WHITE OR BLACK SHOWN ONTHE DRESS IN THE PHOTO!!

I could see how people couldn't think black, but the warm tint makes me see a dark olive.

There are a few factors to consider when evaluating these colors:
1) How the camera lens and sensor perceived and captured it
2) How your monitor displays it
3) How your eyes perceive these ranges of color on a monitor
4) How you brain dismisses the fact that you're part of a mass punkingAlso, if this weren't such a big joke, I'd take issue with the question being asked. Are we being asked what colors we believe the dress *actually* is or what actual RGB values are being use to represent and display the dress in this image.
Answers from these two camps of reasoning will obviously lead to contrary opinions thus creating the illusion of vision anomalies.

judging by the bright day light in the back. I would assume the dress is in the shade. when camera's white balance is set to day light. white in the shade in most case turns light blue with hint of magenta.
with experience and repeatable scenario. My would say i'm 99% sure that light purple area of the dress are supoosed to be white under K6600 Light.

it all gets really fucked up when the color shifts on you. i saw it clearly as blue and black. i even texted the image to someone. to check color space i rechecked it after i started seeing white and gold. sure enough, it was whitish and gold online and on my phone. my body must be going through changes.

Change the brightness of your screen, see if it changes for you.
I first saw white and gold, bumped up to highest brightness setting turned it into blue and black. Now I can't see it white anymore.

I would ban every last one of you debating this if my moderator tools were turned on already. :D

"Your eyes have retinas, the things that let you interpret color. There's rods, round things, and cones that stick out, which is what gives your eye a textured appearance in the colored part. The "cones" see color. The "rods" see shade, like black, white and grey. Cones only work when enough light passes through. So while I see the fabric as white, someone else may see it as blue because my cones aren't responding to the dim lighting. My rods see it as a shade (white).
There's three cones: small, medium and large. They are blue sensitive, green sensitive, and red sensitive.
As for the black bit (which I see as gold), it's called additive mixing. Blue, green and red are the main colors for additive mixing. This is where it gets really tricky. Subtractive mixing, such as with paint, means the more colors you add the murkier it gets until its black. ADDITIVE mixing, when you add the three colors the eyes see best, red, green and blue, (not to be confused with primary colors red, blue and yellow) it makes pure white.
—Blue and Black: In conclusion, your retina's cones are more high functioning, and this results in your eyes doing subtractive mixing.
—White and Gold: our eyes don't work well in dim light so our retinas rods see white, and this makes them less light sensitive, causing additive mixing, (that of green and red), to make gold."
And this user says he turned his phone's brightness from low to high and saw the colors switching.
So give that a shot, maybe.
