I only see white (maybe pale blue) and gold, but the similar blue and black dress is a nicer looking dress. DH is sure I'm lying that I don't see blue and black. I almost cried when he said she was spinning counter-clockwise, but he corrected himself.
Ok it's now night and I turned on my phone in the dark. The pic changed from white to blue. I still see gold, or at least not black. Maybe a gray. But this only happened because my phone dimmed itself. In the bright light I still see white (ie white w/ a blue tint from crap lighting)/gold.
I first saw white gold but it switched to blue black when I scrolled back up when I first saw this last night. It's been blue black since except on that damn llama it is white gold.
Also spinning homegirl is spazzing out going both ways. The dress probably made her do it.

I saw black and blue all night last night while DH was losing his shit because it was white and gold for him. Then I laid down to read for a while, looked at it one more time, and it was white and gold. It looks blue and black in the OP's picture, but it looks white and gold on the llama. I just don't trust anything anymore.
I keep thinking if I look at the right photo, see it scrolling from the right direction, blur my eyes just right, etc., I will finally see the blue and black. That is seeming unlikely at this point.
I feel bad for whoever runs that shop. Now the dress has lots of bad reviews because people want to be funny. If you're going to leave a joke, at least don't leave a 1 star review. ::party pooper::

Like...are you guys really seeing black on this dress?
When I first look at it I assume it's a white and gold(ish) dress. Or a periwinkle and goldenrod if I really squint and evaluate. But no black. I opened it up in Photoshop and changed the white balance and still can not see how this turns into true blue and black. Unless I make the goldenrod part black, but that changes everything.
It took me TEN YEARS to finally see those damn magic eye posters (the psychedelic looking prints that you stare at and see a 3-D image) so I guess I am not surprised. But still...mind fuck.
So do the white & gold people still see white & gold in these swatches sampled from the photo? /photo/1
I'm glad my eyes are in agreement with the actual pixel values. No matter how the dress is re-colored, I only see varying degrees of crappy lighting on a black & blue dress.
I did the swatches in Abode too! The image is up right now and I see the dress as white and gold. But when I looked at the buzzfeed it switched on me..
I *think* I understand what's going on. Very cool.

When I first saw it posted here this morning, it was definitely white and gold. Then a few hours later, I saw it posted somewhere else and it was clearly blue and black. Now the top half looks white and gold and the bottom half looks blue and black, but both halves also look the same. It's making me feel crazy!
The dress on the llama is definitely white and gold, though
