I was seeing blue and gold last night on facebook. Today it is white and gold. But this shows how crappy it is to tell color online. Monitor and image quality vary greatly among devices.

In my office on my monitor where I have it set to maximize the black.white contrasts and the background lighting isn't too bright (makes it easier to read x-ray images at my desk that way) the dress is gold and white without a doubt. On the TV on my treadmill in my basement this AM when I saw the story on the news, I was sure the dress was blue and black (in my basement where my treadmill is there's bright overhead fluorescent tube lights and the TV monitor is on the factory "standard TV watching" settings.

Blue and black, even in the versions where they try to explain it by fiddling with the white balance.

My wife said it must be white, because no one would buy that dress in blue.
