It's obviously blue and black. The black in some parts does have a slight gold-ish tint to it, but that's clearly due to the lighting. I've tried looking at it in every way possible and cannot see how anyone is getting white out of blue.

I first saw this last night and a big poll had it at something like 3-1 for white/gold. I don't understand what those people are seeing.

Now you know how the rest of us feel when we witness your enthusiasm for HILLARY 2016

Simply put, we just see reality for how it actually exists. Tongue

As you are aware, this has never been about what the dress actually is in real life. I want to know how you look at a golden-brown color like that, not even a dark one, and think it's black. Do you honestly see it as black, or do you have some kind of internal thought process of "hmmm, those stripes look gold because that's a really reflective material that would be black if I saw it in person under normal lighting conditions" ?

For me, as I mentioned before, the black parts toward the very top do have a slight gold-ish tint. But, also as mentioned before, that is clearly a result of the lighting. At worst for me, the black parts appear somewhat washed-out due to the lighting. Basically, my eyes see black in a bright/washed-out light. I still have no idea where people are getting white out of blue though. I've tried everything to try to see white, but I suppose that I apparently cannot get my brain to see something that is not there.
