The Blue/Black Gold/White Dress Question

[RCuber]

Ok for those who don't know, this blew up in the interwebs today.
The dress below is seen by people as a Black/Blue and Some are saying its White/Gold

People are debating how this could be possible, I couldn't read much. I checked this with 10+ people in my team and only me and another colleague said it as White/Gold, rest said it is Blue/Black including a colorblind friend.

When I check the color in mspaint, it picked Blue and Brown

And the answer is

Black / Blue
