Except that's not the same dress.
Edit: OK, it seems it is. I just got confused by the sleeves which are not actually part of the dress itself.

There are more versions of that dress. There is a White and Gold one, like in the picture, and a Black and Blue one, like you linked, you just have a crappy monitor, that's why you see white as blue, and gold as almost black :), I have an IPS screen, and it displays colors very accurately.

What seemingly everyone forgets is that people are viewing this image through different screens. On my monitor (TN panel) it seems blue and gold, on my phone (IPS) it almost seems blue and black, and if I checked it on my quite old laptop (TN with undersaturated colors) it might seem like white and gold.

Can the difference be due to some people using SG Dark and some not?

Original colors: Blue and black, due to lighting/camera position it looks like light blue and dark golden.
People see it differently mainly due to their monitors. Typical mass consumer LCD has huge color reproduction errors, uses dynamic contrast (that changes brightness of backlight depending on screen content) and has brightness/contrast set to default values (made so that LCD looks good on market shelf, not to display true colors)

^ This!
Both my monitor here at work and my phone gives me that bluish/gold image. But it definitely looks like some bad lighting/white balance.

It cant just be the monitor because it switched for me, twice, and im using the same laptop.

I never said it's only the monitor, just the main culprit as typically colors shown on uncalibrated low end LCD are way off of true color. There are other factors that play a role in color recognition: background, (workplace) lighting, viewing angle. If any of those changes, perceived color also will change. That's why professional monitors for working with color have hoods, no dynamic contrast, special coatings and so on.

Multiple people have looked at it simultaneously and disagreed, if its the screen the only factor there would be angle, and surely they would look at it from multiple angles, I know I've tried. You can kinda force it by looking at the LCD at extreme angles, but that's not what happened to me. When it switched, the only change was that I scrolled the page down, read the comments for a few minutes, then scrolled back up - lighting, position, angle, everything was essentially the same. My guess its to do with how our eyes perceive the light and/or how the brain interprets it from the screen.

Conditions were not exactly the same, due to "dynamic contrast" circuits in display.
True, workings of eyes and image processing path in brain also play a role (ie color of lighting adaptation - similiar to darkness adaptation). The receptors sensitivity for particular wavelengths also differs from person to person (that is rarely a problem when real objects are seen in natural light, but LCDs W-LED backlights give only 2-3 spikes with different magnitudes instead of full spectrum).

they have explained it on tv. ppl see it different because of the wavelength, filtering, light etc. its not because of the monitor (not only) because they have asked ppl on streets with a printed picture. even there ppl saw different colors.

White and gold for me lol
I do see a little blue if I scroll the picture up and down quickly.

blue and black
i understand why some people see gold instead of black, but those who see white should really go to a doctor and get their eyes checked

I see you have a crappy monitor if you say that :), because dress is White and Gold, I have an IPS screen, it displays colors very accurately.

Just because you see it as white there is no need to reply to every single people that their monitor is crappy. Your precious IPS screen failed you this time or your eyes see it different, but you won't be able to convince users this way.
You replied someone that there is a white and gold version - that's absolutely false because there is no gold at all on any variant.
This one on the pic is the blue and black. It's been proven, It's been explained why do you see it as white, just check some of the links that's been posted here or all around the net. If you are lazy:

Here I made this especially to you: comparing the same dress from different angle/lightning. Red circles indicating the spot where I sampled the color. Feel free to eyedrop those colors and look up the hex codes.

But that picture also has a bad illumination, this means, the color is already not like in real life, its like when you take a picture of a white paper in a room with bad illumination, you will get a grey or blue color, also depending on the quality of the camera. This means HEX color test is just a bad thing to get conclusions of. Also the color when you are on different systems like WIndows 7, 8, Mac, can make difference too.

OKay then prove that this is white. Prove it with valid arguments because so far you did not had any.
Besides:
" Also the color when you are on different systems like WIndows 7, 8, Mac, can make difference too."
^Then why are you trying to argue about it? Why reply bs to everyone when you just contradicted yourself?
Comment has been collapsed.
Where I contradicted myself? The dress in real life is White and Gold, but the white just looks more dark, but not a lot dark to be clear blue like the left image, just the shading on that image is bad because it was took with bad illumination and this makes the color distortion a little.
Here also I'm comparing the Blue on the left side vs the greyblue(due to bad illumination is the distorted white, but not looks far to distinguish white) on the right side, I took the color test from your's color test, to prove these colors are completely different:

And here I compare the black vs the gold

Here I took a look at it on Gimp
http://i.imgur.com/XOUTHwd.jpg I made a red dot there up in the picture, just where the color is best visible, there is the gold :/

You see gold only because the black material is shiny and the yellow light is glittering on it.

No because the are 2 different color dresses, that's why. You have your colors set too much dark. I see the Black and Blue and Gold and White dresses, like in the picture you linked me, completely different, colors aren't even small similar.
From here http://www.wired.com/2015/02/science-one-agrees-color-dress/ I see like in second picture, and you see like in 3rd picture, but obviously we will see it differently anyways xd, you will see that last picture even more darker than me.

All the three is blue for me just like to any other person with correct color setup and normal eyes.
Check the store page of that dress. I've told you but I tell it again. There is no gold on any of the variants.
Well, it was fun "arguing" with you, but seems like you are unable to accept any valid information. Have fun replying bs to every single person!

One thing I agree with you http://www.romanoriginals.co.uk/invt/70931?colour=Royal-Blue there is not Gold and white colors selling there.
also there is no need to get angry ;/, looks like you take it too seriously, it's just a simple discussion on the internet :P
You also you blacklisted me, because you take this too seriously, just lol, it's just an internet discussion.....
EDIT: that dress on the store HAS NOT sleeves, but on the argued picture it HAS, so idk what to say here.

well, you aren't missing much by getting blacklisted like that...
and of course, everyone on the internet IS RIGHT.

http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Unknown-660x748.png - as i said i understood why people see gold, but there is no white at all
Comment has been collapsed.
Its not white it's more like grey or even light blue, but the point there is that that picture has a bad shading, thats why the original white color looks like this, but dress is still white and gold in real life, in picture that white is just too dark to be clear white.
I think we all should just take a test here http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php there are different tests. For example in that test I linked, the 254 grey, looks practically as white to me.

I'm getting tired of people... jeez it's obviously RED AND GREEN !

I've seen this picture on TV at work and again here at home and every time, I see blue-ish white and gold. And people that were watching the same TV saw either black & blue or white & gold. Its freaking weird how different people can perceive the same thing so differently.

White and gold. I already had a debate with my mom last night because of this.
Comment has been collapsed.
here it goes :)
I see white and Gold as 75% of people, but it's Blue and Black as the rest of people get to see it (25%).
This is due to the way our eyes are evolving and adapting to the sun light.
Our brain tries to remove the light from the image.
So, as our brains do not act the same way, if your brain removes the blue color, then you see the dress in white and gold.
If it removes the gold, the you see the dress in blue and black.
There you go

umm... light blue and bronze?
but honestly - for a color representing in a photo (any photo) - it would depends on light on the set, filters, exposition etc etc... What color this dress in reality... Who knows?

Your eyes are simply interpreting the ambient lighting's colour differently.

No, its just ppl who have crap monitor and see it as Blue and Black.

No. It's a very well known optical illusion.

There seems to be a debate over on Tumbrl about a dress and what colour it is. People seem to be divided into two groups. To those who see it as blue and black and to those who see is as white and gold. I thought it would be interesting to see your view of the matter and possibly settle the debate.
So the big question is: What colour is the dress?
Also another thing: Why do you think people are seeing it differently?
