Yea, but the pixels are a browny gold and slightly blue tinted white  The picture isn't a good representation of the actual color of the dress.

I know

It's clearly blue (and brown), not white.
Still surprised anyone can see this as white (even on the dress) but I guess same goes to the other side with black/gold (though most of the dress is really dark brown which to me looks way closer to black than any of the shades of blue look white).
Again, computer colors is not the point of this thread anyway.

Thats the mistake, do NOT retroactive accounting unless you see it black&blue. I see white dress (real colour) because dress is under a shade (black/blue/violet-sunshield was my assume and sun from left angle) changes from white to a very light blue/violet tinted white. Dress is in shade, background has sun.
edit: if you see it black&blue then tell me the context/background (ofcourse before you know the answer)?! Background has sun, front/side also has sun, sun hits dress, black part therefore looks goldish on the side and blue part looks like lighter blue. Dress is black and blue. And of course I didn't mean "blue turns white" literally. I meant it as "seeing it white even though it's actually blue". I dont see that sun hits dress. dress is at shadow unlike the background.
Edit: Do you mean sun hits dress from behind? I was thinking about sun forward left angle. I highly doubt that sun hits from behind, dress should have more brightness in that case I think.

The pixels are a browny gold and a slightly blue tinted white And the dress is blue and black... So...what if it is? Dingodile's point is that he belives that people percieves colour differences depending on whether their eyes are attuned to outdoor/indoor light. I reply and clarify that that I, like many others, see the true colours of the picture, thus rendering his point invalid for many people. You again reply that the dress of which the image was taken of is blue and black. I suppose you will repeat that the dress is blue and black ad infinitum even despite what the colours of the image actually is.Ok...I suspect that thinking logicaly isn't your forte. I wasn't responding to Dingodile; I was responding to your statement that blue and brown were the real colors of the dress, instead of blue and black. I was correcting your mistake of brown instead of black. You may not appreciate the correction, but accusing me of not thinking logically is a rather random and personal attack  Thanks! And I am responding to Dingodile. When did I ever say what the real colours of the dress was? I clarified twice that I was talking about the colours seen in the image, yet you insist yet again that the colours of the dress is blue and black. At this point you are just being deliberately obtuse.  Thanks! You said the "real colours" were "blue&brown", which is what I replied to in the first place -.-' So now we've come full circle. I'm not sure if you're trying to troll me or you just have really bad memory, but I don't think there's anything else to add to your correction. If you're honestly still confused about the colors, SKC lays it out really nicely a few posts above mine. Maybe that'll help you more. This is a forum with recorded posts. I've clarified twice that I am refering to the image, yet you insist I am talkign about the dress. You are so dearly confused or purposely obstinate. Either way, there really isn't a point to talk with someone who despite recorded posts insists that one party was talking about something they did not, in order to "prove" themselves right.

Because there's a huge amount of red and green in the color. It's not flat white (100/100/100) but it's much closer to flat white than it is to pure blue (0/0/100). It's clearly blue tinted, but white is the dominant color (to what my eyes originally saw, and via digital examination of the pic)
Nice

I don't know if that's the same sun as the light we can see on the background, but it's light coming from somewhere on the front and/or side. If you look at the dark part on top of the dress, it's definitely hit by light on the rightmost part of that.
Actually a whole "column" of light can be perceived towards the middle (slightly towards the left) of the whole dress.

Well I'm not a color expert but every article/document/video I've seen using photoshop or similar tools (including tweets from the Adobe company itself during the big buzz) have mentioned the color is absolutely blue (other being (dark) brown), no question about it. I would also gladly eat a hat if anyone with normal eyes would ever think "white" looking at the rectangles I posted earlier. Maybe grey/blue, skyblue (for the first one) or something, but that's it.
But this is a totally different "debate" from the actual topic of this thread, and a much less fascinating one.

I sampled one color a few days ago
it was 131, 140, 195.
White would have been 131, 131, 131 - but there was a very very slight bias towards green, and a more heavy bias towards blue.
Blue would have been 0, 0, 195. The 131 and 140 are extremely significant. It doesn't look solid white when placed against a light background, but it's miles away from blue (especially when placed on backgrounds of every color)

There is more than one shade of blue, wtf. Next thing people are going to say TL's background isn't blue.

Ummm, some people read tl from work. Please nsfw that.

I can see blue/black dress!!! I can move on now lol

difference between indoor and outdoor light is that outdoor has a lot more blue color in it (R/G/B). blue + red = violet. violet - blue =red. Gets it?!
blue - blue = white gold - blue = (light) gold
indoor has basically no blue. thats why the color of bulb looks very yellowish (compared to outdoor light). blue - yellow = (dark) blue gold - yellow = black
Your brain already do this in subconscious mind.

This debate is like picking a close up section somewhat close to the lighting souce and argue wether you can still tell the wall is black or you must say it is golden because that's what the the color of the pixels for that particular section. Oh wow that picture. Look at the bulb, gold and white around the bulb. Maybe they put a bulb under that dress outside?!
The color of the moon is actually the color of asphalt. Although when we look up at night it is white most of the time. And then because of the refraction near the horizon, it's sometimes yellow, orange, etc. And during a lunar eclipse (a shadow on it) it is also red, orange, pinkish for the same reasons.
All of these things are similar to what happens in the lighting of the picture and the refraction of the lens of the camera afaik.
The main source of the debate is how the picture subtly gives us the option of choosing whether the dress is under tons of light, or is in a shaded place via top right and forgeground. So people's brains that see the opposites are filling in the missing data from either of those options. It's not really about some people being better or worse, it's probably more just a random thing.
So the real debate that people don't understand is where this person actually is in relation to the background. The people seeing the darker colors are assuming that the person is directly in the lighting, while the people seeing the lighter colors are assuming the person is standing under an umbrella or something outside. Since we know the colors of the dress are actually blue and black (although we don't actually know how faded/old the dress is IRL) we can assume that the person is actually not standing under an umbrella, and that is the optical illusion.

If you take your left hand and make an L shape around her dress swap back and forth between 2 images you can actually see that the dress is the exact same color while the background is getting more or less lighting filters put on.
And that's how this optical illusion tricks the brain into thinking the colors are different than they actually are.
