recalibrate the colors of your display or buy a new one.
i'd say people voting for white and gold are the ones you see getting duped every-time in those street magic shows. clueless and fairytale believers!. the ones voting for black and blue are so eager to be right that reality becomes irrelevant. just paint them a context and they'll start a jihad in its name!. the ones voting other are the ones pulling the strings or have really bad displays.

Well mostly because half the posts are from people not interested at all in the subject, but lacking the skill to dodge the single thread by not clicking on it.
"Fuck, I clicked it! Well might as well complain then."
And here I thought Starcraft players were good at microcontrol.

Kwark actually closed this already a few hours ago. :/ what happened mods?
KadaverBB is a scumbag.
Lol scumbag? That's a bit harsh.
I wonder if age has anything to do with it. I heard some theory about it, although I haven't read it myself. I find it interesting thought that the 3 or 4 people under 30 I've spoken to see blue and black, I see lavender and gold (early 30's) and anyone over ~40+ has seen white and gold. Anyone not fit that pattern?
I apologize if someone already posted this explanation but I didn't see it in the pages I looked through. Really quick but thorough explanation. The rest of the channel has some great videos:

See, that's the video that really blew my mind. The picture on the first page of this thread looked light blue and gold to me, without question. Then I opened the video, saw the image and went "That's not the same image. That's clearly black and blue."
So I opened the image I had saved from this page, and saw it was clearly gold and light blue. Then I returned to the video and saw that the dress was... Gold and light blue, before slowly fading back to black and blue. I don't even.

Yeah, that's what I saw the other night, after reliably seeing it blue/black in many different contexts. I glanced at it on my phone and saw white/gold which gradually faded back to blue/black.
It has to do with a number of factors: A) What the brightness size etc of your screen. B) How the lighting is around you where ever you are C) What version of the photo you are looking at. D) How you perceive the background of the image in relation to it's context.

I always loved this example
A and B are the same color btw
Edit: someone beat me to it, doh
This is something else though...
The picture of the dress is just a horrible picture. In your example the real color shows up if you either eye drop it in photoshop or isolate it.
The whole point of the photo is that the "real color" is based on how your brain processes the information it receives. It can receive the same information, but based on the placement of the color, you will get vastly different outcome. It also differs from person to person.
In his example yes.
The picture of the dress is nothing more than a bad photograph with very poor white balance... There is no trickery going on... if you stood infront of it you would not see what you see in the photograph. While the example he gave you can recreate in real life as well.
But there are conditions where the dress would appear white and gold to the naked eye.
It would be very hard to create a condition where this dress looks white and gold to the naked eye + Show Spoiler +
The concept between those optical illusions and the dress issue is also still diferent. The illusions are something everyone can see, and most people can accept how it works. Two people seeing the same image but diferent colors is something new.
Someone should buy this dress and then go out on broad daylight and focus some highbeam lights at it as well. I'd imagine you can recreate the white/gold appearance again.

confirmed
that's just fake. 1) you can not replicate it irl. the same cube with the same colors and there's no brown turning into orange. 2) every other color on that cube, when in shadow, goes slightly more gray, darker; but no, oh noes, brown goes orange ... the software who made that image had a bug.
that video is spot on. When I am indoors I see it blue, when I look into the sun it turns gold.
Same reason why it's funny to see people argue IRL about topics their brain made quick generalizations about, or why some people say they are realists
The reality is far too complex to make sense of it all, so brain uses shortcuts generalizations and tricks to interpret it and this is just one more of many examples.
the pixels (or, the reality) say hi: i'm blue and brown. if that's to complex for you then fine, live in Oz.
Edit: what i didn't get from the start is that people were seeing light blue/gray and brown/goldish but then tried to GUESS what's the REAL color behind that fake blue/gray - brown/goldish by virtually(in their minds) adding different backgrounds. why, why would you do that?.
