   Yeah, I’d have said aqua and brown, but I can see the pink/white side of things.

      It looks like gray and green to me.

   Which part do the pink and white people say is white? Are the shorts meant to be white?

   If that’s pink and white, the light would have to be very blue to make it look blue/grey. But there’s a label or business card sitting right there in the image that’s clearly black and white, so the lighting is pretty close to neutral; that means the colour of the image is the colour of the item, no adjusting required, and the shorts are objectively a blue-green – their hex value is somewhere around 130/200/200.

   I see pink and blue, but I can get how people see white. My daughter sees blue and grey. But the poster above makes a good point about the business card being clearly white, so what colour are the actual clothes?
   (I really don’t see how she can see grey).

   This one is actually a really easy one to figure out. When Googling the label (BiNorth), you can confirm that their logo is supposed to be white. When using this as a white benchmark in Photoshop, you can indeed confirm that the white balance in this photo is indeed correct as you see it.
   Therefore, the colours really are aqua and grey.

   There are the colours within the whole image as the question asked.
   Black background and label, white writing and pearls, pink base of the pearls, beige at bottom left under sash or scarf of green/teal/ blue mix in various shades, a brown shade of the bag and a different shade of brown in the top left corner, a shade of off-white colour of the object in the top right corner of the image.
   The question is invalid as individual humans perceive variations of a single colour depending on the wavelength of light and some people have tetrachromats which is a different perception of colour compared to ””average””’ people, of which, none are average.
   To receive a more sensible answer to the past ‘dress colour’ and this ‘colour test’, in the outside world in daylight with a clear blue sky, or a cloudy sky, the colours would still not be seen as the same among all participants who see the colours.
   Surely there are more sensible questions and quizzes with which to waste members’ time on this site.
