Indeed, as per the other photos of it. But what I'm saying is... there is no black anywhere in the photo and this is proven by sampling the colours.

So my thought process on this is that to say the dress is black/blue, based on this photo, means you are either

a) subconsciously accounting for the fact that we know the actual dress is black/blue, or
b) subconsciously using what you know about how different types of lighting affect colours and correcting the white balance

...because, as per the photo, the darkest colour is a relatively moderate brown so you must be doing one of the two.
