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!

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.

thats because the OG** photo** (left) it is gold lace on a “white dress” (with a blue tint lighting effect etc) while IRL the dress is black & blue. right side is the edited OP photo. the difference is ‘night and day’ and if these all look the same i’ve got some news for you. … Image

I know I wa stalking about the OG photo. Though to be honest even the edited one does not look completely blue and black to me. I know the dress is blue and black in reality.
