I guess this is along the lines of the "What color is the dress?" phenomenon. It's a few years old, but I've never seen it before.

It's gray and mint green for me, but when I went into my saved Facebook posts the smaller preview picture looked pink and white.

Gray and mint green to me.

But I also saw the dress as black and blue and took forever to see the white and gold.

I just looked it up and they are pink and white. It's the same as the whole dress phenomenon. The reason behind why some see the color differently is due to how sensitive to light your eyes are and how your brain then interprets it. The quality of the lighting and angles of lighting plays a part as well, but it still then ties into how sensitive you are to it.
As someone with blue eyes, I am more sensitive to light...so I wonder if eye color also plays a role. I mean I'm sure it does..but to what extent?

At first when I look at it, it looks gray and mint. But then after a while my eyes switch to pink, although the white still looks greenish. I've seen that trick of the light in my own closet.
But I also saw the dress as black and blue and took forever to see the white and gold.
I never could see the white and gold, probably because it wasn't, lol. I could see blue and gold if I looked at it right but never saw the white.

I would say blue or teal and white...The blue looks reflective hence being lighter upon the cameras flash making the white seem grey.
