It seems some see it as blue and black and others as white and gold. I looked at the image on a photo editing software and looking at the RGB numbers the white is actually light blue and the gold light brown, but to my eyes it's white and gold.

Something really weird happened on the internet today. A girl posted a picture of a dress on Tumblr, with a caption that sounded pretty desperate: "Guys please help me—is this dress white and gold, or blue and black? Me and my friends can't agree and we are freaking the #%&*$# out."
One of my friends sent me the link. "What color is the dress?" he asked. "Blue and black, obviously," I replied. Then I asked my co-worker Mike Pearl, just to be sure. To my horror, he honestly and legitimately saw the dress as white and gold.
(...)
When I started drafting this post, I still saw the dress as blue and black. But then, the weirdest thing happened: I suddenly saw the dress as white and gold. "Did you change this image?" I asked Mike. He hadn't. In fact, I hadn't even refreshed the page. I had uploaded an image that looked blue and black; now, it looked white and gold.
We still aren't totally sure what the hell is going on, though. Dr. Neitz seemed really fascinated by it, though.
"Now I'm going to spend the rest of my life working on this," he told me. "I thought I was going to cure blindness, but now I guess I'll do this."
