My guess is that some people don’t see the gestalt, they get stuck on the actual RGB color values, which float around light gray/blue, and a dark gold.
From what I read at the time, there’s an intrinsic lighting judgement being made. It could be one dress being lit in natural light, or another lit under a florescent bar. They both would produce the same RGB values.
Interestingly nobody has been able to replicate the effect in another image. It’s truly remarkable and one of the best things off of the internet.
