Dddd, not when Britney has a black and gold jacket in your avi. You can clearly see the difference between the two colors.

That's the colours I saw before I spoke to Jesus and he told me I was WRONG.

i managed my jacket ball team in high school and after a couple wears and what not...the whites of the jersey started looking different but that doesn't stop anyone from saying the color was white

well wouldn't that be because it got dirty, sis?

The dress is white and gold, but it looks black and blue because of the lighting

The owners confirmed it was blue and black. The white and gold illusion is the result of the lighting.

Since stock photos have proven that the dress itself is black & blue-- in other circumstances, not in the viral photo-- let's compare the literal colors of the dress in the photo we have.

Top color is the color of the dress in the original viral photo. Other color is WHITE, if you needed help knowing that.

if anything...i wouldn't call the left color blue because it looks more grey than it does blue

It's Black and Blue even tho i see white and gold, heres why

The picture of the dress was probably taken under a really bright light like some department stores have and the rest of the store is dark. And the light is directly ontop of the dress which makes the black look gold as black does when you take a picture of it with flash. Same goes for the Blue looking white. IF you notice the dress starts to get darker at the bottom

I demand this be put in the OP.

This is inaccurate. You are not taking into account some factors like lighting and shade. The white dress is in the shade and the sunlight behind it appears brighter. That's why it doesn't appear paper white.

If I took a sample of your avi - Taylor's skin from photoshop, I would get orange. Is Taylor's skin orange?

Have you never seen a photo with bad lighting?

It clearly looks like there is some kind of bluish fluorescent light being reflected on the white dress.

There is literally no black in this dress. You could turn the brightness all the way up on a picture of a black object and it would NOT turn out gold.

Ivory.

Wtf

That is obviously gold and white, where is black and blue?

I've also seen this explanation

Why are people still calling this a white dress when it's officially confirmed in its description as blue?

um. doesn't that mean your brains are different?

i say it depends on the individual (aka brain) and ambient lighting conditions.

No one has tied "mood" to this whatsoever.

The OP explicitly ties it to mood and wording being assigned to perception has nothing to do with the actual perception/brain, so... no.
