the claim

The dress illusion can be explained by lighting assumptions.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the dress illusion can be explained by lighting assumptions?

Unclear. A textbook and a Wikipedia article describe lighting assumptions and poor white balance as popular explanations for the dress illusion, but neither presents a settled scientific account, and a review notes no theory fully explains it.
