This person doesn't understand pixels lol. You picked one pixel. Pick 100 of them and average them. It's in the white spectrum with a slight shade of blue hue. If you look at it on the color wheel, it's well within white segment slightly towards the blue. When you zoom out of single pixels, it's white that you get under cool white light. It's still considered white.
As for gold, computer screens do not display gold in specular way how you see it with eyes.When you pick pixels, they will be in range of brown. Again, you don't seem to underetand pixels. And ultimately, this is suppose to be black, remember? Where's the black?
The "after" photos of a dress show dark blue with black lace details because it was not captured in bullshit lighting. Where is that on the picked pixels? Just like years ago we are once again arguing over bullshit doctored/manipulated/bad photo of a dress arguing what color it is. It's beyond stupid and I can't believe people are still this dumb to argue about colors that aren't even there. I don't care how dress actually looks, you showed me the photo of it and you're asking me how the dress looks like on the photo, not in reality. The rest is within the color picker which is mathematical representation of colors that doesn't give a shit how eyes work. And it picks very faint blue and brown (thats perceived by eyes as white and gold). Not dark blue and black.
You are absolutely right. How most people don't seem to get this fact is beyond me.
