Seems to me a color picker confirms white and gold. Although the white has a bluish tint, some areas don't even have that, and are light grey. There is no doubt the gold (black) is different tones between brown and yellow, which is the RGB you'd expect for a gold color.
I don't get the same at all. Can you send a screenshot? This was the easy hack to show the image is literally Blue and Gold/Brown. The rest is the entire point of the optical illusion.

I just saved your image and loaded it into GIMP, and the correct value for the brownish color shown as selected is RGB(256): 78,66,39. (decimal) The same value for both the selection in the read square, and the one left of the RGBA value that is wrong. Brown and yellow colors are dominated by red and green, the RGB value shown in your picture can't possibly match the color shown as the selected color.
The value shown in your software is wrong.
