I think it has to do with one's computer. No matter what site I'm viewing that dress on, it looks light blue and brown.

I saw neither of the color combinations that were discussed. I did see a couple of people online who saw the same colors I did. Maybe we're the only ones with perfect eyes!

Of course I'm not a scientist and I've seen other optical illusions, so I'm sure the explanation is correct. But I don't think a computer is the best place for testing color correctness.
