Edit: the gold and white effect was supposed to happen only for the original (I saw gold and white). People wrote on Reddit that they were finally seeing the true (blue and black) color. I also used a different screen to view this picture to make sure it’s not a screen issue, and I still see gold and blue on this picture.
From a post on Reddit. I see gold and blue.

We’ve already been through this, we don’t need it again. I’ve seen both from the same file, silly rage-bait optical illusion.
stop it
This is the first time I’ve ever seen it blue and black
Can someone actually explain the downvotes? I’m literally confused.
This spread like a wildfire on Facebook like 10 years ago, i assume people are just so done with it.

Not this crap again. It depends on your screens lighting but it is blue and black
The Lemmy picture is blue/black for me while Wikipedia is white/gold. Is it the same picture? Or is because Lemmy fully supports dark mode while my browser doesn’t?
just look at the HSL profile of a blue pixel. Surprise, it’s blue.
I know it’s actually blue and black. But that effect only existed for that specific picture, because of the specific lighting. This isn’t the original, and I also used a different screen to view it. I still see blue and gold.
I’ve been looking at this photo for like 10 years and even though I know for a fact that it’s blue and black I only ever see white and gold
Same for me, across dozens of screens and different apartments and at school and… I don’t think it’s just the lighting
Do NOT make this a thing again!!!
It was a Gold & White dress vs. Black & Blue dress.
Gold & Blue wasn’t part of the meme.
In the original picture I could only ever see white & gold, but in this photo you post I can see either way.
