https://imagecolorpicker.com/en for those seeing white and gold. Also the screen you're looking at it on matters so much.
Edit: I did find a neat bug with DarkReader on though. It reads the white pixels as black with the magnifier on the right. Even turning off it's still pretty blue and white... Apparently it actually pulls the color judging by what your screen shows though... which is pretty neat all considering. The crosshair is on the large white empty space to the right of the large black stripe in the middle.

So I tried this and even https://colors.artyclick.com/color-name-finder/ but it will find only brown/gold and light blue/blue/white depends where you focus it on. This image itself contains no black pixels simple as it is.
See I get nothing but blue and gold... Which is the entire crux of the illusion lol. Your brain just makes up for the color shift due to previous images it's seen with washed out saturation due to ISO / artificial light boost.
