I am. I really am trying. But the blue tint, even on the edited picture you posted, is too heavy for it to be the result of a shadow. Besides, the gold looks unnatural due to the consistencies in it's color. Why is the gold color at its lightest at the top of the dress, but the "white" parts remain consistent throughout? It's clear there's a light shining directly on it to create that lightness in the gold, so there is no shadow to tinge a pure-white dress the shadowed-blue.
now you're getting all technical
but do you really think that average person goes around doing that with every piece of photos
my friend sent me a text of the picture and asked the colors and i said white and gold
did you really think i was going to sit there all enlarge the image to try and see all the differences
by default about half has been team gold and white if you looked on the internet and that's the important part...it's not just a select few...and that's major
Looking at this one it is obviously black and blue
The one in the OP looks like its been lightened/brightened so i can see why people would see it as white with a blue tint and gold as the top stripe kind of looks gold in that one
Is the original photo of the dress (minus the adobe color sample dots).
Are you saying that a shadow is creating such a strong blue color? That is unbelievable.
That's the thing. As someone who's seen it look both blue and white, the white version looks just like a white dress with a slightly blue shadow like Sinister has been saying. But ofc when you see the black blue version it seems impossible

I don't think I'm doing anything odd. I'm wording out a thought process, which of course is going to sound technical and perhaps finnicky due to it being put into words.
When I first saw the image, it was in a thread here, and it was the unedited one, and it was strikingly obvious to me that it was blue and black. Looking at it now, it remains the same, and even the lighter edit appears blue.
