White and gold viewers aren’t saying the pixels are literally white and gold—they’re saying the colors they perceive match most closely with that label
I think all of the white-gold people are really condescending, explaining how their perception is correct and how blue-black people don’t understand the image. Also, if they explain how the image looks white-gold enough, that the blue-black people will be wrong.

Well the ones that do understand the image by definition won’t need it explained. There’s no ‘correct’, if we’re talking pixels/digital representation, it’s white-gold (or light-blue and brown if we’re being pedantic), if we’re talking about what the physical dress is, it’s blue and black.
If it were a white and gold dress and the light was reversed to shadow it’d likely be the other way about; some people would interpret it as the pixels displayed (blue and black), and others would subconsciously revert it to white and gold.

You’re saying it’s actually white-gold? Do you think the color on the left is actually white? White is on the right here, for your reference:
In the colors below, you think they are the same color? Brown is not the same color as gold
If you were tasked with painting something gold, would you paint it brown instead?
No it’s a very light blue that looks like white+shadow.
The gold is a browny gold but the options were ‘white and gold’ or ‘blue and black’

I see these exact pixels for the whole dress. So no black, and no blue like the original physical dress.
And no white. The only issue with the photo is that the black isn’t captured as absolute black and it’s a brown color.
Brown with a gold tint yes.
And blue so light it could be mistaken for white.
