Yes a very light blue, nobody is seeing brilliant white. But on a colour slider it’s much closer to white than the ‘true’ dark blue of the dress. If you sample the sleeve or whatever that is hanging over it’ll be even closer to pure white.
You missed the whole point. If I take a white dress and then shine a blue lamp on it, then take a photo.The pixels will be 100% blue, but would that mean the dress itself is blue?
The “white” pixels are literally blue. The “black” ones can be considered gold due to the lighting.

But you can clearly see that the lighting is bright yellow-white, not blue…
That’s… literally not what this phenominon is about, either. Talk about missing the point.
It’s exactly the point. White fabric will appear blue in blue light, which is why some people see this white dress and think it’s blue.
That is literally what the argument is caused by, adaptive perception to lighting conditions.
