    So there was an experiment conducted on this and the dress colour. Basically due to science, the actual colour of the dress is indeed black and blue. Apparently it has to do with how your eyes reflect light and see colours and all that kinda stuff. People who see white and gold tend to not have the blue translate and such on. I'll link the article down below.

    It's an interesting read. I see it in white and gold too but I can see it being blue and black as well.

    Okay. Lets go through this. Belle already has the sciencey link sorted, so Im not gonna reference anything else. To sum up;

    People perceive colour differently.
    Due to the closeness of the image, and the lighting of the picture, our brain is deciding what colour the lighting it.
    Other things can influence this choice, such as the screen you're viewing it on, your surroundings, etc.
    You can actually see it both ways, for example, I saw it white and gold this morning, now I see blue black.
    Different people's brains translate it different.
    Wavelengths of light enter eye, we see the reflected colour to the wavelength, but the brain filters out certain wavelengths, so peoples brains are filtering out different wavelengths of the light around the dress.

    In a very shortened easier answer? If anyone wants to improve on this, feel free.

    Answer, its actually blue/black.


    To explain the story -
    Bride's mother sent a picture of the dress to her. She saw blue black, her fiance saw white gold
    Sent it to friends
    They argued about colours
    Picture posted online
    Exploded online

    At the actual wedding, friends saw the brides mother wearing the dress which was in fact blue/black.

    If no one cares about the dress anymore then why did you say anything about it in the first place?
