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.

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.

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

I wish it wasn't such a shitty photo; for that reason I don't see why everyone is going berserk about this.
That said, it looks light purple and brown to me.

OK, here's the thing: are people saying what colors they SEE, or what color they think the dress actually is?
Because I'm with Glorpo, the photo is of terrible quality. It looks like there could be bad lighting on it. If people are losing their shit over what colors are represented in the photo because it's a crappy photo, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME. And, if people are arguing over what colors the dress actually is, someone could have wrapped it up in 10 seconds by posting a catalog photo of it.
So dumb.

The question you must ask yourselves is if it is the reptilian eyes of the overlord invaders actually causing the difference in perception or not.

"Just read this:
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 it’s black. ADDITIVE mixing, when you add the three colors 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.
**** UPDATE to prove this theory I turned my phone brightness from the lowest to highest and saw it switching from white and gold (at the lowest) to light blue and darker gold (at the highest) meaning people that see blue and black are more sensitive to light (better eyesight and not looking at the sun like your moms told you)"

Depends if you've been outside in the natural sunshine or been in a dim room for a while (it's a light adjustment thing).

1OOSFUcking dress!

Ok, fuck this dress. Saw it as white and gold last night, and early this morning (7:30 am or so). A co-worker came into to ask me about it 5 minutes ago, and I'm like "If you think that's blue and black, you're an idiot". Well, I look at his phone, and it's blue and black!!! Come back here, BLUE AND BLACK!!
Mind fuck indeed.

I'm just genuinely curious if people still see it that way when compared to another color.
But whatever...continue for another 100 posts about how crazy the dress is :P
