What color is this dress?

As a member of #teamblueandblack from the first moment I saw the dress, I've got some news for everyone: it's definitively black and blue.

While we haven't confirmed the validity of the video, the skirt appears to drastically change colors as it moves away from the camera. Up close, it looks white and gold but a little farther away ... blue and black.

Essentially, the lighting of the original image tricks some people's photo-receptors into see white and gold.

I rest my case.
