It’s white and gold until you do the ice-bucket challenge, then it’s blue and black.

That would be because the outlines themselves are not the same colors, just the blue/white and black/yellow sections. Here's an image I quickly edited with the outlines and skin removed, so you can see just how much an effect they have on the image. Both dresses still look normal, but they no longer look like completely different colors when compared together this way.
(edit): And here's the same image with the outer boxes removed, to show how much the lighting is affecting things, where one of the dresses just looks completely wrong to me now.
I feel so dumb, you did such good work on this and… OK maybe I’ll just take another look in the morning and it’ll make sense

clearly some problems need to be taken from behind
Solve me Daddy

I swear it was blue and black this morning, but now it's white and gold!
Same here, I know it's the same post since I up voted it.

It’s black and gold. Duh….

So you're saying if there were a blue and black snake that bites with deadly venom, and a white and gold snake that's harmless to people, you'd gain an evolutionary advantage from seeing the blue and black snake turn white and gold in the sun?
No, being able to see the same snake as the same colour by adjusting for ambient lighting conditions aids survival.

And no white.
The only issue with the photo is that the black isn't captured as absolute black and it's a brown color.Brown with a gold tint yes.
And blue so light it could be mistaken for white.

No one was really asking "what color is the dress", they were asking what colors are on the photo.
This is not my recollection of this at all. Everyone knows what physical colors are on the screen. If so people who see the image as white and gold wouldn't have been shocked/angry to learn the dress is actually blue and black.
If they were asking about actual color of the dress that you cannot see, what the fuck is the point? That's like saying, we put orange cat in fully closed box. What color is the cat? And you then claim it's not orange, it's black because there is no light inside the fully closed box so the cat is actually black. That's the level of stupid argument with this stupid ass dress.
I can also shoot a white dress to look entirely blue because I'm gonna use cool white light at 9000 fucking Kelvins and fuck up the cameras white balance to make shit look anything but its actual color. I can also take a normal photo and then just drag some sliders in photo editor and fuck up colors and then ask some bullshit question about colors and then go like "well, achtually it's not that color".
It's also funny when people argue it's not actually white because color picker says it's light blue. Firstly, color motherfucking temperature. Secondly, open color wheel and see where it's positioned. It's in the white segment mildly nudging towards blue. The part where I'm not gonna argue is perception of gradients. This isn't "this gold color is actually black bullshit", but actual science where people perceive correct colors differently. For someone a certain gradient of red is perceived as lighter or darker compared to someone else. But certainly isn't perceived as green. Or black. Or whatever other basic color.

Look at the background. The lighting is a warm yellow. This shifts blue to white and black to gold.
That's the thing, that background can also look like a harsh sunlight, which would typically give you a blue tint. Your brain has to guess which is right.
-
The blue of the dress is pretty obvious, the black details are a different, golden hue due to ambient light. I "know" it's black, but it looks dark gold

It really isn't to me. Even knowing the true colour I still cannot see the blue in this picture, it's perfectly white for me. Guess my brain is wired wrong.
️Edit: happy cake day!

If I showed you a picture of a green surface, and asked you what color it is, would you say that it's white and that there's probably green light shining on it?
No, but it doesn't mean the other answer is invalid too. If there is no reference in the picture to tell what kind of light condition it was shot at, both answers could be possible.
-
Whatever the setting is, it appears to be bathed in bright sunlight. That's the important part.
The front of it presumably is. But the back, that we're looking at, seems to be in shade.

Ok is this post some sort of trick? I opened up lemmy, saw it white and gold for the first time in my life, then I took a shower, now it is blue and black once more.

Black and blue. You blind.

This person doesn't understand pixels lol. You picked one pixel. Pick 100 of them and average them. It's in the white spectrum with a slight shade of blue hue. If you look at it on the color wheel, it's well within white segment slightly towards the blue. When you zoom out of single pixels, it's white that you get under cool white light. It's still considered white.
As for gold, computer screens do not display gold in specular way how you see it with eyes.When you pick pixels, they will be in range of brown. Again, you don't seem to underetand pixels. And ultimately, this is suppose to be black, remember? Where's the black?
The "after" photos of a dress show dark blue with black lace details because it was not captured in bullshit lighting. Where is that on the picked pixels? Just like years ago we are once again arguing over bullshit doctored/manipulated/bad photo of a dress arguing what color it is. It's beyond stupid and I can't believe people are still this dumb to argue about colors that aren't even there. I don't care how dress actually looks, you showed me the photo of it and you're asking me how the dress looks like on the photo, not in reality. The rest is within the color picker which is mathematical representation of colors that doesn't give a shit how eyes work. And it picks very faint blue and brown (thats perceived by eyes as white and gold). Not dark blue and black.
You are absolutely right. How most people don't seem to get this fact is beyond me.

Look at the background. The lighting is a warm yellow. This shifts blue to white and black to gold.
... Nope
-
Show me the white here. I thought gold was like a yellow orange, not a brown-grey color
Thats the blue-white. Or light blue.

I'm the exact opposite. When somebody first showed me the picture, I thought "is this some kind of trick question? It's obviously black and blue". And still to this day, after many arguments with (friends and family) as what I can only perceive as stubborn defensiveness, I can still only ever perceive it as black and blue.
I literally cannot override my color perception to trick myself into seeing white and gold and it feels like a mistake a lot of people made (to see white and gold) and then just stuck with and argued for ("it's an optical illusion!" or "look at the pixels!").
Even if you zoom in really far? Thats what I cant wrap my head around. The colour is so far from black I cant see how anyone would interpret it as black.

The point has never been about the actual pixel color codes. It's about how human perception doesn't follow those objective metrics.
Distilled down, we perceive color and brightness in comparison to the surrounding scene. The checker shadow illusion is a clear example of the same color looking different.
So the color perception on the dress depends on how the brain decides to color correct the white balance of the scene.
For the millionth time, the camera perceived it that way, not a human eye.
