Yes that's kind of part of the link I gave.
But if you take a color picker, you can clearly see the RGB values from the image to match white and gold.

    I did the color picker thing too, and its result was blue and orange. Not super helpful to this particular global controversy, but was worth a shot.

    IMO the color of the actual physical dress is kinda moot: photographed (poorly), digitized, and presented to the world on billions of screens with completely different settings for things like color saturation, and the color of the thing that hits our eyes is not necessarily indicative of the color of the original.

    The color of the dress in the photo was not the same as the color of the photographed dress.

    It was white and gold! sprints away

    It was a whole thing in my lab when it went viral, and I wasn't on any social media at the time, so someone brought up the picture and asked me what colors I saw, and I said "blue and goldenrod, why?" I still see a light blue and a goldenrod, almost orange ib the fucked-up viral picture.
