What colors are the dress?
"Moral justification is a powerful disengagement mechanism. Destructive conduct is made personally and socially acceptable by portraying it in the service of moral ends." - Albert Bandura
"Ultimately, if people lose their willingness to recognize that there are times in our history when legality becomes distinct from morality, we aren't just ceding control of our rights to government, but our futures." - Edward Snowden

"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache†and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." - Guuse

I could probably change that picture through any number of edits to contrast/exposure plus color correction to make it appear to be any of the various colors it actually comes in. But seriously, people actually care about this **** (not trying to insult YOU for bringing it up or trying to explain it, so don't get me wrong here)?
A lot of influential scientists care about this because it's an interesting phenomenon, and I agree.
Without the science it's just dumb, but with the science it's a worthwhile topic of discussion.
The color of the dress is not what I'm trying to discuss here, in case that wasn't clear enough; I'm trying to discuss the science behind the phenomenon.

Also phenomena is the plural form of that word btw. Should be "it's an interesting phenomenon".
I was thinking lightblue and brown, but maybe thats just me. Idk how this dress got so much attention so quickly tho, the internet is truly a special thing.
Change is gooooood

My biology teacher (a huge redditor/imgurian herself) explained it to us:
The cone and rod cells in our eyes need different amount of light (different frequency as well) to actually get irritated. If you look it in a shadowy place and with not too much light it is white/gold. In a lighted place, it is blue/black (the real colour).
You can test it with a light. Turn off all the lights and look at it. Then point the light into your eyes and look at it slowly turn from white to blue.
EDIT: You can also scroll the page down so you can only see around half of the dress. This sometimes clears the illusion

Thanks to OwenTheAwesomer for the signature =)
Oh god wasn't the picture just taken in a relatively dark place so the cheap camera over-exposed the **** out of it?
Personally I see light blue with a tint of violet and ocher. It only turns blue and black when I tilt my monitor a bit :P
EDIT: No none of the above? Rly?

Most people here have probably at least caught a glimpse of this viral event.
This whole debacle has occurred because the interpreted white balance of the image is different for different people. Meaning that the objects in the image have different colors according to different people.
Our brains are automatically figuring out the white balance of the things we're looking at all the time, so that colors stay mostly the same even under different lighting. And they're generally pretty good at it, resulting in mostly the same interpretation by most people most of the time.
This is a rare instance in which a lot of people interpret it differently, resulting in a divide of people seeing the image as having cold or warm white balance, resulting in white/gold and blue/black colors, respectively.
This is quite the interesting example of the importance of white balance when taking photos.
Edit: derped up the grammar in the question, of course it's "is", not "are", I'm referring to a single dress, even if there are multiple colors >.>
