it’s clearly blue and black. and i will force-feed anyone who thinks otherwise seventeen of those turkey legs that your aunt carole would always make for the thanksgiving family potluck when you were a kid and they were always dry as a desert but you never had the heart to tell her that her beloved turkey legs are borderline inedible and are honestly a disgrace to not only the art of cooking but to humanity as a whole.

Even more probable than perception variations is just messed up screen settings

No, what happened is that a bunch of people were shown to be objectively wrong about what color it was, and couldn't let it go.

I love the way everyone was saying it was white and gold.

Until the science came out.

And everyone claimed to have always seen blue and black.

Were people just stupid or something and not capable of knowing when the ambient light and camera is affecting the colour of the image?

WTF is this about people getting exact pixel colours?! The question is what colour is the dress, not the colour of the picture in which the dress is depicted!

Using pixel colour to determine the colour of a dress is like saying Martin Luther King had grey skin because the photo he's depicted in is in black and white!
