As in using the colour picker on the image and finding the corresponding code? That's actually an explanation that I can get behind. Classic example of trust your instrument.

I see the dress as gold and white, no matter ehow hard I try to see the other side of the coin.

Nope. Color cannot be measured, it is created in the brain. Pickers show pixel values (stimulus) and often don't correlate to the experienced color.

But you could use one I think, and then have that colour isolated and then dump it somewhere

You cannot measure perception with a color picker. Eyes + brain is not a measurement instrument.

Just like you cannot measure amount of salt used in a dish with your tongue.
