Different lighting sources will produce completely different colours in that example. So some see blue, others see white.
That's why this is so interesting to me. The picture leaves the brain to assume something that you're not even aware of, and different people make different assumptions.

What I don't understand about the white/gold crowd is how you can see white because there is a context for white in the photo. The top right (beside the dress)
is white and the colour to the left of that is blue.
