The two boxes are meant to be different types of lighting. The box on the left is a warmer, yellow lighting while the box on the right is a colder, blue lighting, which you can tell from its effect on the grey background. The portions of the dresses inside of this “lighting” are the exact same colors, which I tried to help demonstrate with the second picture. The portions of the dresses outside of the “lighting” represent their real color without any lighting affecting them.
The point of the image is just to show how two different colored dresses could look exactly the same depending on the lighting. At the same time, the real dress from the original image is seen as different colors by different people because brains are weird and they interpret the lighting differently.
Some people see a gold and white dress in a blue-tinted light like they’re in the shade, while others see a black and blue dress that is overexposed by a bright yellow-tinted light.
Its effect on the gray background plus different color dresses can look the same based on lighting. (lol the second point is childishly basic but yeah it helped)
Going to show this to a friend and see if I can’t just deepen my understanding a bit more. Thank you [king][queen][royal] Lemming

You are wonderful!
A couple very helpful things you said:
