Objectively the photograph is light blue and brown. It's not even a proper optical illusion, it's just what your assumptions are about lighting and exposure, if you're trying to determine the colors of the actual object from a bad photo.

I guess I understand what you mean. I can see the brown when it's pulled off to the side with a hex code, but in the context of the picture, I would always answer that the (brown) part of the dress is "black."

Making the image smaller/cropped/etc doesn't really change that, for whatever reason. Maybe my brain is remembering the context.
