Compared to the above, the original dress appears purple and black.

But still not white and gold.

No idea what is going on.

Your eyes are f*cked :P

It helps to scroll so you only see the coat/shoulders, look at the coat and it should look white. Scroll down and the dress will look gold and white.

Whereas if you look at the very bottom of the dress it should look blue, scroll up and it should look blue black. Use the buzzfeed link though, works better.

I thought black and blue initially although after studying it I can how the sunlight shining directly behind lightens the dark trim.

Can't see where people are getting white from though.

Black and blue

Lilac and brown trim thingy.

I think the people who answer Lilac and brown trim are just really into the whole colour thing, so thats a valid answer.

There's an arguement that the result might differ depending on peoples retinas and the makeup of their rods and cones.

If I look from the top down, I see blue and gold. From the bottom up, I see blue and black. (I can't see any white anywhere on this.)

I think it has something to do with biases of the brain? The top part looks quite gold, so if you see that first you'll continue to focus on the gold looking part of the black areas further down, even where the black is clearer. The reverse is also true-- if you see the black first, you'll continue to focus on that as your eyes travel upwards. I forget what this is called-- confirmation bias, maybe?

I think all we can absolutely take from this is that many digital (phone?) cameras are really crap at capturing colours accurately in poor light.

No I mean into the various shades of colour. I don't like to get bogged down in indigo and lilacs and teal and all that kind of thing

I see lilac and brown. Not blue and brown.

Does wearing glasses affect it?

Blue dress with brown lace/ trimming at top and gold trimming on the rest of the dress.
Is there no link to check what color the dress is on the store selling it to put us all out of our misery ? Lol

I dunno, possibly.

Can we get some sciencey people in here to explain why people are seeing different things, or are loads of people actually just colourblinded and don't realize that.

I was talking to someone who claimed to see the dress first as black and blue and then white and gold, wtf!
