I see blue and black and find it really hard to believe that other people are seeing white and gold :/

Ah see both, first one's white+gold, second's darker white gold with a faint blueish tint, third is blue black. But then there's no colour space metadata nor embedded colour profile in your exif, so browsers will use random colours (viewing this in Firefox/Win 8.1)

By the way - is this a joke or people really see different? I just can't believe anyone would see the left most picture as BB....

You should add a poll by the way...

Chalks down to our optical system differences, or so I have been convinced.
The lesson here is to never trust your eyes 😀 Always make sure you use a sensor to calibrate screens.

I think I've just gone blind, or lost my sense of humour, somethings certainly missing.
W/G followed by W/G with a hint of blue followed by B/B.
If this is to show how monitors vary and some people only see an either/or I'll stop paying for my websites or tell clients I can now only shoot in monochrome. Although responses so far suggest I'll still be paying out for the website.
Confused..

This is probably the super-super-rare case when the colors are just on the fringe enough to confuse some or all of us. I also repeated the WB test and the colors are light blue/dark brown-gold.
So yes, please do keep the website 😀

The middle image is really the one in question doing the rounds...
The problem is that its a white and gold dress (or from a colour perspective, white and yellowish). However there is a very strong blue colour cast across the image that tints the white to blue and, as the opposite to yellow, significantly darkens that tone. The result is whether your brain perceives enough information in the image to perform an auto colour correct, if not, it starts to look black and blue. What is usually presented with this image is the lower half, but if you also see the top half of this picture it tends to add sufficient information for your brain to conclude that its actually white and gold.
The other problem here that contributes to the black, blue appearance in this image is that the yellow-y white background serves as a reference point to their brain that identifies the white dress as blue. In fact, the white in the dress is blue - that can never be questioned - its just about your brain deciphering wrong information or not.

To me, on my uncalibrated laptop screen, the right one looks like W/G dress in the (blueish) shade and I'm quite sure I would've seen it that way if I had just seen that picture.
I'm always surprised how colour blind people can't see the difference between red and green. I

... it's the same trick your brain pulls when you take a photo under tungsten light ... the photo looks really warm, but at the time your brain recalibrates so you see 'normal' ...

Blue-Black first!
I would have thought white and gold, if asked, without seeing.
Maybe because i look to far right first..

I originally stated white-gold, however it is actually a blue-black dress as the internet has now revealed. Perhaps it's a camera phone with very poor white-balance?

Anybody with a reasonable amount of colour printing/pre-press practice does know what colour shifts to expect from over exposure, and will see all of them as blue/black.

Wow... I have none of that experience but just can't imagine ever seeing that as Blue black.
The Internet went viral on this yesterday....

The dress maker states that the dress in question is blue/black. Other colours are available, but no white/gold.
