I remember, that I was able to understand people, who saw it as white and gold, but now I can’t. I just see black and blue. I don’t even know which parts are supposed to be gold.
The black part is gold, the blue part is white. The wiki image is the original and its easier (at least to me) to jump between the two different colour combinations.
It help to look at the edge of the sleeve on the left, without focusing on the rest of the dress its self. This causes the colours to swap back and forth for me.
The dress was confirmed as a royal blue “Lace Bodycon Dress” from the retailer Roman Originals. The dress is black and blue; although it was available in three other colours (red, pink, and ivory, each with black lace), a white and gold version was not available at the time.
the photo yes but not the dress itself, take the og photo from the wiki into any photoshop with a color picker, and look at the points it marks it on the color range (it shows it between yellow and red nowhere near any blue) its gold stripes in the photo. the “white dress” parts do show up with light blue tint, it all just because of the terrible back light overexposed effect. the real dress yes is blue and black, but the photo is gold stripes with light-blueish white dress.
the ‘black’ parts are gold in the photo yes they are in fact “nowhere near blue” the part you zoomed in on is the blue/white parts that have a blue tint.
If you look at the orginal on wikipedia the image is much brighter:

Wait… It was actually white and gold the whole time? I never saw it as white and gold
No?

I wouldn’t call this “nowhere near blue”:

…
Did you pick that colour from the part that’s black IRL? Of course that won’t be blue.
Edit: Here’s the original picture with max saturation. It clearly shows the blue parts as blue:
