    So are you saying it’s being hit with a strong yellow light? Why then is the black and white thing on the far left still showing as black?

      It’s on a clothes rack, it’s more obscured from the light source than the dress which is being held up for the photo. See the top right of the picture? Real bright yellow.

      Bottom right of the picture? White or off-white surface, I can’t quite tell if its carpet or not.

      This picture was taken in the afternoon facing a window in the direction of the setting sun.

      If you’re seeing white and gold your brain is assuming a cold blue light like morning or fluorescent lighting and skewing the colours.

        No, my brain is assuming a bright yellow light coming from behind, leaving the front of the dress in shadow.
