The people seeing (dark) blue and black are the ones experiencing the optical illusion. Your brain knows that's what it is despite evidence from color pickers, so that's what you see.
People seeing (tinted blue) white and gold are seeing the picture at face value without any interpretation.

I think everyone is crazy.
I'm red/green color blind, and I see this as light blue, with a light brown / gold at the top, with dark brown at the bottom...exactly what Photoshop proves it to be.
Both white/gold and blue/black are seeing an optical illusion. There is a lot of blue in there...it's not just a minor tint.

Yes I know. I was just trying to show how (I think) the white/gold people (incorrectly) interpreted the image.
Maybe if I squint really hard, I'm able to switch.Here's a new image that should show the two different interpretations quite clearly. I've only played around with white balance and exposure, no other color alterations.

Why are people being such assholes about this
Most color blind people are red/green color blind, such as myself. Unless you're blue/yellow color blind...being color blind won't have much of an impact here.

I can see the white change to a light blue but I can't see black at all. I can see a dark brown but I can't see it turn black.

It's not. I've seen it swap multiple times on the same screen.

Nope. It just means your eyes just missed calibration on the image. That image specifically somehow really fools the eyes into subtracting the wrong colors.
Yeah, now you're just seeing things. Pipet the white (or in your case blue) colors, there's really no discernible blue tint anymore (more green in places than blue, often less blue than green/red as well).
THIS MATTERS A LOT TO ME

woah, when I first looked at it, I saw white and gold, I scrolled down to read a few comments, then scrolled back up and it was blue and black.
and i'm not on mushrooms.

There is no black in that picture. At most parts might be dark grey.
It's all eye fuckery compared to what the real color values are in the photo.

Wow, two ended dildos come with a lot of buttons these days, must have been tested by Kaz himself.
We have identified a weakness in the general population, and white/gold people must be weeded out so as to not endanger the rest of us.
I'm curious though, do people who only see black/blue, see the blue as a really dark blue or a light blue?

Like I said earlier, this is how wars start. When two sides see things completely differently.
WWIII will be the war over TheDress.
i saw white/gold on several different monitors and devices with different settings both last evening and earlier today, but when I unlocked my phone just now I had the picture up and now it's switched, and all I can see is black/blue. It feels like a fucking prank. (60+ pages of this type of reply, fucking deal with it)

That's happened a lot. I think it's because the overexposed black is really overexposed at the top, and less so at the bottom. Which direction you approach the image from affects how you perceive it. I did exactly the same thing.
Ok well at least my eyes are calibrated correctly.
Being a photographer it would suck to not be able to see colors right.
Is this the first time you're seeing the DS4? This joke seems like it's a couple years too late...
I see it as a little bit of a lighter version of royal blue.

I find this kind of stuff fascinating and I'm having a riot asking what my friends and relatives think, but good god some people are being hostile about this thing.
The lesson here should be that your eyes are imperfect squishy little devices which malfunction all the time.
People who say "seeing is believing?" No. This is where UFOs and Big Foot come from: people who honestly, genuinely believe they saw something, when the reality is their eyes are evil, naughty liars. And yours are, too.

You will let me have this God damnit.
It's white and gold.
The issue is mixed light sources.
The outside of the store is in the sun, the inside is in the shade. Sunlight color temperature is 5200, shade is 9000 (bluer).
So you have to choose. You can adjust the white balance for the sun and the outside will be correct but the inside will look bluish. Or you can adjust it for the inside and then the inside will be correct but the outside will look yellowish.
In the XKCD image the dress looks white/gold on the blue background - it's the opposite of what is seen here. In the image the dress looks white and gold on a yellow background, not blue.
Another thing is that ,if anything, the image is underexposed for the inside of the store and the color that is supposed to be black still isn't black - it's definitely brighter.

Is black and blue together still a fashion faux pas?
If you like brain/eye tricks like this you should check out brain games on Netflix.

Well this blew the fuck up overnight. I went home, showed this thread to my wife, and within a couple of hours everyone on the internet was talking about it.
No, it has nothing to do with colorblindness. I am red-green colorblind and see white and gold. However, many non-colorblind people see white and gold as well.

Turning it down might instigate your eyes to see white instead of blue; you have it mixed up.

Vision is mostly a function of the BRAIN. The processing of the signals coming from your eye receptors is made in areas of the brain and the 'algorithms' are not always consistent and can be manipulated by the setting and even your expectations, so your results may differ from time to time and between individuals.
