I pulled this up on my screen and it was white and gold. I drop my pen, I pick it up off the ground and as my head angle changes with respect to the screen the picture changes to blue and black and once returning to my original position it returns to white and gold.
So I guess depending on the display properties of your monitor (and probably light conditions of your environment ) you’re going to see different things.
On a side note, sad day for humanity.

Not sure why it’s different but the image is quite overexposed for those seeing gold and light blue/white. Perhaps the rest of you are subconsciously doing some corrections as if you were staring into the sun.
That’s my theory. If you took it and pumped the brightness way up, would the blue and black camp see the gold?

I think you should put the dress on and let us decide.

The original dress just switched to blue and black and I can’t get it to go back to white/gold. My son saw blue/black right off the bat.[/quote]
Same thing just happened to me, though it just got much brighter outside so I don’t know if the bright sunlight in the background here has affected the way my brain is processing the image.
Wait…
I wonder if there is a correlation between platforms and perceived colours.
On my iPad and MacBook, I see gold and white. Is there anyone who also sees gold and white on a non-Apple product?
This could be a way of sowing discord amongst the users of different platforms.
Wouldn’t put it past 'em.

Huh.
So much for that hypothesis.
I can’t take any more of this. It’s breaking my mind.
we really need a neuroscientist to post on this board.
I see white and gold, my boss sees blue and black.
Shit’s cray

Apologies accepted.
Much ado about nothing.
Purple and orange.
I wonder what people would see if all the background were removed the first time they saw the pic?
Are the blue/black people picking up contextual clues from the blown-out background and correcting for that?
I saw blue/black. For the record, my eyes are brown, my index finger is about 0.5" shorter than my ring finger and I squat low bar.
I saw blue/black this morning, quite clearly.
Now it looks white/gold to me.
Did the entire internet get together and decide to fuck with me by changing the picture while I was at work? I don’t even…
OH MY GOD IT’S BLACK AND BLUE AGAIN, WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT???

You shut your whore mouth. It’s clearly white and gold.
The fact that this is linked on the front page of the NY Times kinda makes me understand domestic terrorism…
