I can see it as black and blue, but it's an optical illusion. It's really white and gold.

It's similar to this optical illusion. Squares A and B are the same shade of grey.(Edited 32 seconds later.)

Initially I saw it as black and blue but the black has changed to brown now after looking at this image, looking at the brown on the bottom of the right bar, then looking at the top of the dress. Still can't see white or gold.

Good grief, the Internet sure is riled up over this optical illusion. Do most people not know about this stuff?

Taylor Swift, 25, took to Twitter on Thursday to share her thoughts, telling her millions of followers: 'I don't understand this odd dress debate and I feel like it's a trick somehow. I'm confused and scared. PS it's OBVIOUSLY BLUE AND BLACK.'

I can understand that from the lighting someone might get an impression of blueness, but how the fuck anyone looks at gold and sees black? Poor monitor?

Looking for science guys to weigh in on this.One review says
According to a few vision scientist friends (who were unwilling to put names to a theory due to threat of reprisals from the white/gold camp), the explanation probably has something to do with the two different types of cells that sense light in your eyes.
Your retina is comprised of rods and cones. Rods are more sensitive to light, but see shapes and not color. Cones are sensitive to color, but less sensitive to light — i.e. in darker conditions, you're seeing more with rods than cones. You have three sizes of cones, blue (smallest) to red (biggest), as seen on the graph above.
Whether the dress appears as blue/black or white/gold depends on whether your eye has more rods or cones, and also the ambient lighting conditions in the room. (This is thanks to the different colors that are produced by additive and subtractive color mixing.) Different people have different balances of rods and cones — most notably color-blind weirdos like myself — hence different people seeing different colors, and families brutally murdering each other over this mess.
But rods are also very sensitive to light. Rod cells detect color using a pigment called rhodopsin, which is very sensitive to low light, but is bleached and destroyed by higher light levels, and takes around 45 minutes to redevelop (why your eyes take time to adapt to night, in other words). Basically, if you look at the dress in bright light conditions, then go away for half an hour into a dark room and come back, the dress will quite probably change color.
Moreso than anything else, though, this probably has to do with individual differences in color perception. If you've ever dabbled with photography, you've probably come across white balance — the camera trying to correct for the chromatic bias of the current lighting conditions. Your brain does its own white balancing automatically, meaning that you're either ignoring the blue hue, giving a white/gold image, or ignoring the yellow hue, giving a blue/black photo.

Lmao
I opened the thread and it was black and blue
I scrolled down and back up and it was blue and gold
I wrote this and now it looks white and gold again

mind fucking blown
@OP
the colors to be understood from the picture are gold and white. if the actual dress is black and blue, then someone has a really shitty camera.

My wife showed it to me in the car and I saw gold and white and said she was a troll. Today I saw it in black and blue at our house. I opened this thread in the car again and it's gold and white. I think this is a massive trollspiracy.

I saw this on minichan and the dress was white/gold because it just is in that picture.
In other pictures and in video, it looks blue/black.
I saw it on TV earlier and it is just that picture being a troll and someone has a shit camera as mentioned by another poster.

also on TV when they showed this picture I saw it flip back and forth a few times before my brain finally picked one then it was stuck.

I do understand. If you want to pick specific pixels from the image, then yes you'll get blue and black/brown because the combination of poor lighting and a shitty camera caused those colors to be recorded. Your brain naturally identifies the lighting conditions and adjusts your color perception to account for the lighting.
