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.
