I'm still convinced this is the biggest troll. It's clearly white and gold
I've always really liked this explanation image you can find on Wikipedia page for it. Essentially, people who see white and gold are mistaking the lighting to be cold and blue-tinted, rather than warm and yellow-tinted.
The portions inside the boxes are the exact same colors, you can easily check this with a color picker.
I wonder if could be an age component, too? Artificial lighting used to be a lot more yellow. "Party" lighting tends to be more blue.
