This is why "eye witness testimony" can never be trusted. People with fucked up physiology just tumbling through life and not even realizing that their color wheel is off by magnitudes, and that cilantro is delicious.

Wait

Until now I always saw this dress as blue and black

Can this change ????

The "color" of a thing is pure perception and often just a genuine personal choice.

It is annoying to think about it like that, but consider:

A movie projected onto a white canvas. Before the movie starts, there is no light projecting onto it and it's just the white canvas.

The movie opening credit comes on. "ALIEN" it says in thin white letters on black background. The projector does not darken the canvas, just add some lines of light forming letters in the middle. Yet we see black.

Is the canvas black or white now? If do when did it change? Is it both? How would you describe that?

People give many answers to this. Most of them based on choice of definition more than objective observation, which I find super interesting.

I could understand gold, but where the hell do you see white on this picture?

I can see the blue and black clearly when i tilt the phone screen away from my face... I always see white and gold first, even though I know it isn't.

Were people just stupid or something and not capable of knowing when the ambient light and camera is affecting the colour of the image?

WTF is this about people getting exact pixel colours?! The question is what colour is the dress, not the colour of the picture in which the dress is depicted!

Using pixel colour to determine the colour of a dress is like saying Martin Luther King had grey skin because the photo he's depicted in is in black and white!
