By over-compensating for perceived low-level lighting, the rest under-compensate making the brown in the image appear black. In the photograph the colour palette used is pale blues (Pantone 652) and pale browns (Pantone 448)

Weird. Somebody showed me this picture earlier tonight and I saw black and royal blue clear as day. But looking at it this time, it's clearly gold and white.

Gold and white here. I think we may simply have a case of how light ~ or as Dean said "perceived lighting" ~ causes variable color reproduction. All color is interrelated at some point on the spectrum;

The color of the dress will change simply by moving your position relative to the screen

It's green and yellow.
But I guess I'm saying that because my chef cook must have mistaken edible mushrooms with toxic/hallucinogen mushrooms. I really have to fire him!  |

Gold and Blue in that lighting. How do you expect anyone to get this right if you don't make that an option...

Blue and gold for me. But the gold looks brown, and the blue looks grey due to lighting. I'm notoriously bad at colors. I wear mismatched socks a lot.

I saw white and gold, then I looked at a gif and saw purple/brown, now I only see blue and black but if I stare long enough it will look blue and gold again. However, I can't see the white again no matter how much I try
