I see only blue and black, but some people claim they see white and gold.

Light blue, dark gold. Although the lack of gamma correction makes any color reproduction dubious at best.

I clearly see blue and black. Thought this was nonsense until I showed the picture to my girlfriend without context, and asked what color: "White and gold. Why?"

Same happened to me, nearly 8 minutes ago as well!!

I did the same thing. The strange thing is this puts you in a third camp nobody is mentioning: blue/gold(brown). Maybe some of our eyes just take it for what it is and don't do background compensation??

I'm in the blue/gold(brown) camp too, although I can consistently see white/gold looking at the top half and blue/black looking at the bottom half.

I came a little late to the party; wasn't really on Twitter a whole lot yesterday.

From the background you can tell that the dress is not white, because the lighting is not dim. It is clearly a shade of blue dress.

I see white & gold, my wife sees light blue & grey, my daughter sees purple & gold and my son sees white & gold too. Strange, but a great breakfast topic of conversation
