  Before anyone starts anything, the actual dress is blue. It just how your eyes precieve it.

  Tell me about it. Most people see it as either blue/black or white/gold.
  
  But all I see in this dress is a periwinkle and cardboard brown color.

  Pretty sure in the photo that's in circulation this is the only choice that is to be made. When you blow up the colors, this happens:

  I can understand the blue to an extent, but I don't think it's humanly possible to consider the second color as actual black

  Yup, it's definitely periwinkle and cardboard-brown color.
  
  Like you said... I don't even see how it's possible for many people to see it as "blue and black" or "white and gold".
  
  I can understand blue to periwinkle and gold to cardboard-brown to an extent... but not for black to cardboard-brown and white to periwinkle.

  You also have to take into account the functionality of the individual's rods/cones as they are what gives objects color/shade

  Is there a better picture of the dress? It's so washed out like someone put in an instragram filter.

  too bad it is actually black lol
  
  it's just a bad photo, that's all
  
  to be more specific, since the entire image is overexposed with yellow lighting, it makes sense that the black parts of the dress are only brown/gold hues, rather than pure black. If you mix yellow with black (in both color addition and subtraction, since black is literally the absence of all color), you're gonna get brown. A photo would actually have to be dark enough to have 0, 0, 0 as a sample... and that image clearly isn't dark enough.
  
  The blue also almost seems entirely desaturated due to the yellow lighting -- as in accordance with color addition, if you mix yellow with blue, you get white. Or in this case, a desaturated blue since the intensity of yellow isn't as strong as the intensity of blue.
  
  So it makes sense why some people are seeing it as white and gold... but judging from the entire photo, the overexposure you can see from the background should indicate that the entire image is overexposed, therefore the colors on the dress are, in reality, darker than they appear to be in the photo. With white and gold being on the light end of the color spectrum, you'd be able to rule that out as a possibility for the /actual/ colors of the dress.

  I know the actual dress is black and blue. That's why I stated "the photo" instead of "the dress"
