Fun fact: I can see both.

Some times when I look at it it’s blue and black. Some times when I look at it it’s white and gold. I can make them flip back and forth.

Altering perception is cool.

Is that the question though? Sure the dress is blue/black but the photo itself is light ass blue (white) and gold.

I dont care about science or the true color. The question is the photo. Included all the color changes and whatever. Call it light blue and gold thats fine but no black.

Take the filter off, yes it's the actual color but thats not the question.

What science lol.

The pixels are light blue and gold.

The dress itself is dark blue and black.

But the pixels side with the white and gold team. They are seeing the pixels as they appear. If you see blue and black your subconscious is over-riding the objective reality of the pixels (and guessing correctly what colours the original dress is).
