    Ok this confirms my suspicion! In order for it to be white and gold you’d need to see the dress as in shadow. I always assumed it was in light because the image was lile blown out max lighting, but if you then assume that since it’s backlit the dress is in shadow and there isn’t significant front lighting, it could actually be white and gold. This theory has been nagging at me for YEARS and you just solved it, thank you!

      Okay, something weird just happened to me… When I sent my last comment, I couldn’t perceive it as anything but white and gold… Now, out of nowhere, i can’t perceive it as anything but blue and black… Why? How? What just happened?

      I don’t think that’s it. I can’t perceive the original image as anything but white and gold. I tried to convince my brain about the lighting situation, but I don’t think it has helped.

      Edit: nvm, I misunderstood your comment.

      No problem. I know the true colour but looking at the actual image I cannot force myself to see it as blue and black. It always looks white and gold even though that makes no sense if you analyse the image even slightly. It has to be in the light but my brains just refuses to see it that way.
