    It’s white/gold if you recognize that it’s lit from behind. So the dress appearing darker is due to there being much less light on it than the stuff behind it.

    I can’t see it as blue/black because I can’t make my brain ignore the fact that it’s backlit. But if your brain never recognizes that, then I suppose it would look blue.

      They established that its blue and black. I see white and gold but the actual colour was never the debate.

      The actual dress is blue and black and even when heavily backlit it just appears to be a lighter shade of blue, but not even close to white.
