the dress is actually blue and orange. Or so says the article. Cant see the blue in it for the life of me, only white. And the orange is just an overexposed black.
the colors on the photo are light blue and an (slightly) orange tinted tan. if you see white and gold OR blue and black, your eyes are messing with you. your brain is trying to interpret the color of the dress, based on the perceived lighting. the dress is really black and blue. the photo isn't.
