Who remembers this?

You can literally sample the rgb values
It doesn't matter. This phenomenon can be explained by something called color constancy.
I remember some versions of this image where I could literally switch between perceptions at will, when I imagined different surrounding light temperatures/environments.
It's a subjective perception.
I can literally switch between perceptions with this exact image. It’s sort of like that “are there six cubes or ten” illusion. Depending on how I look at it, I can see either one.

am I part of the joke here??? It's clearly blue and black...
The objective fact is…it is a blue and black dress. Other photos of the same dress show that.
But I cannot, for the life of me, see how anyone can possibly get that from this photo. Sample the RGB values all you want and it clearly is not black in this photo. The exposure and white balance have messed around with it so much it is incomprehensible to me how anyone can see it as blue and black.
"The phenomenon revealed difference in human color perception..."
Yes, you're becoming a part of the joke. People LITERALLY see the dress differently. It doesn't matter what the objective facts are. TBH, it says a lot about humanity. Even when we have evidence that subjective experiences can vary, and even contradict each other, we still end up arguing over whose viewpoint is "correct".

Stop trolling me. It's blue and black. I could never figure how people might perceive it otherwise.
They see the blue as shaded white, and the glossy black has enough yellow reflected in it that they think it is shadowy gold. Basically, you’re seeing the dress as if it’s lit from the front. You see the colors as blue and black, because that’s what’s on the screen. But other people’s brains decide that the dress is backlit, so the colors facing the camera are actually shaded.

I currently see blue/light blue and black+gold, but no white. If I remember correctly I never saw white.
-
I'm still convinced this is the biggest troll. It's clearly white and gold
And you are obviously right. I can see it with my own eyes.

I remember seeing different colors on different screens, so I think part of the perception difference are the saturation and brightness settings of your screen

Yeah that definitely has an influence as well. If I tilt my screen I can make it more blue and black, but straight on it's white and gold.

The dress is a bistable picture, similar to the Spinning Dancer, which you can consciously reverse the direction of spin with some practice.
To see the dress as blue-black, I first look at the black dress in the bottom-left corner, then shift gaze to the main dress when colour is established.
To see the dress as white-gold, I first look at the sunny regions on the right, then move gaze across, when the main dress goes to white-gold.

It may help to cover or mask the opposite region, when focusing on one side.

For detail, 10 years ago I saw this as white-gold and did not change from that perception. Did not know what all the fuss was about this dress.
Today, I saw it as white-gold initially, but 10 minutes later, after two friends saw it as blue-black, I also saw it as blue-black and could not shake it.

The "color" of a thing is pure perception and often just a genuine personal choice.
It is annoying to think about it like that, but consider:
A movie projected onto a white canvas. Before the movie starts, there is no light projecting onto it and it's just the white canvas.
The movie opening credit comes on. "ALIEN" it says in thin white letters on black background. The projector does not darken the canvas, just add some lines of light forming letters in the middle. Yet we see black.
Is the canvas black or white now? If do when did it change? Is it both? How would you describe that?
People give many answers to this. Most of them based on choice of definition more than objective observation, which I find super interesting.

ITT: people telling other people they're trolling rather than accepting that humans can perceive reality differently, and the own perception is never objective.

Yeah when I first saw the post, it was white and gold, then I read your comment and turned the brightness off my phone all the way down an now it's black and blue.

We all are black when the lights go out.

Because no one has posted the other photos:
And this is a photo of the same dress taken under proper lighting:

Don't forget Laurel and Yani!
I like Brainstorm vs Green Needle even better. The're not even the same amount of syllables! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1okD66RmktA

Ok this one is crazy, because I hear whatever I’m consciously thinking of. “Brainstorm”, “green needle”, “brain needle”, “green storm”. It’s actually tripping me out.
Btw I still hear “laurel” every time. I can hear “yanny” in the background if I really focus, but I always hear “laurel” as well.

white and gold doesn't suddenly become blue and black...
This dress is blue and black
The whole argument around it is not how we perceive it but how camera perceived it in a flawed lighting condition.
That's like taking a shitty 2 Mpix photo with a potato from 2003 and truncate it to 8 bits and then claim broccoli is fucking blue because the camera had no fucking concept of a tone mapping or color temperature and captured it as blue.
Also if you put color picker on it it'll be in the white spectrum and barely register a mild hint of blue. And if the dress was blue, then you're one shitty ass photographer and has nothing to do with our actual eyes. You can make a blue dress look almost white. Anyone who ever had aquarium with beautiful metallic blue fish and used wrong lighting and turned them into bland beige silver color will know what I'm talking about.

I'm curious which color you perceive?
You mean which color camera perceived when the photo was taken?
