Definitely. Part of how it works for me, is I see the lighting around the space, and how white/bright looks, and how it's VERY different from the dress.

So then my brain picks up on how light in the image works, and then makes a profile that the camera is shitty in a shitty environment, and how to interpret color and context.

Only after that does my brain decipher what's in the picture, being The Dress®

I would argue that if somebody de-blurred the picture, and cut out the dress apart from the background, and just had the dress........

Hmmm... Nah, because... even then, I can see how the seams are basically black or far darker blue (like in the shading), and not actual white or gold.

Yeah I just don't get how white and gold is seen.
