it's black even if it doesn't look it in all places and even if there isn't pure black in the image
there's just way too much light in the picture
find a silky black object and put it near a high amount of light
yeah then it turns gray numbnuts
while i admit that the white looks like blue, it's only because the dress is in the shadow (facing away from the light) which tints it. which reinforces the idea that the black is actually gold, since if white -> blue, then if we go the other direction to correct it, brown -> gold. even if you don't correct it, there's no way in hell that's black.
