This doesn't make a BIT of sense to me at the moment but apparently you're right. The stupid thing is blue. I don't see it AT ALL regardless of what these fuckers say.
“What’s happening here is your visual system is looking at this thing, and you’re trying to discount the chromatic bias of the daylight axis,” says Bevil Conway, a neuroscientist who studies color and vision at Wellesley College. “So people either discount the blue side, in which case they end up seeing white and gold, or discount the gold side, in which case they end up with blue and black.” (Conway sees blue and orange, somehow.)

I'm not discounting either side apparently from what this guy is saying. I see the dress as blue so I'm not discounting the blue side and I'm not discounting the gold side either because I see the ruffles as a brownish gold. I don't really know how to describe that ruffle color other than very ugly, maybe I'd call it a burnt rotten orange with hues of green.
