    explaining how their perception is correct and how blue-black people don’t understand the image.

    Well the ones that do understand the image by definition won’t need it explained. There’s no ‘correct’, if we’re talking pixels/digital representation, it’s white-gold (or light-blue and brown if we’re being pedantic), if we’re talking about what the physical dress is, it’s blue and black.

    If it were a white and gold dress and the light was reversed to shadow it’d likely be the other way about; some people would interpret it as the pixels displayed (blue and black), and others would subconsciously revert it to white and gold.

      You’re saying it’s actually white-gold? Do you think the color on the left is actually white? White is on the right here, for your reference:

      In the colors below, you think they are the same color? Brown is not the same color as gold

      If you were tasked with painting something gold, would you paint it brown instead?
