It's cobalt and navy.
Its just grey, never understood that fight it's just grey and light grey.
Nobody knows you're a dog on the internet
Yeah we do, it's just polite not to mention it.
Both is good :)
What in the hell, this is the first time I've been able to actually see it as blue and black
If you look at the orginal on wikipedia the image is much brighter:
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.
Wait... It was actually white and gold the whole time? I never saw it as white and gold
No?
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.
I wouldn't call this "nowhere near blue":
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. 
...
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:
It is edited. The background is much more dimmed.
