Optical Illusion

[Mr_Loon]

I love optical illusions, came across this one the other day :

Squares A & B are exactly the same colour.

Even though I know it's true (I've checked with a colour picker) I still can't actually believe it...

I just copied it into mspaint and cut out b and moved it over a ,,


outstanding really how easily we are tricked

 

[Caine]

Yeah, I know this one. It's both cool and depressing at the same time. I feel like my senses are so limited when I compare the RGB values.

I think it's cool that it seems like a different colour to us - it's made to look like it's in shadow, so our brains automatically try to remove the shadow so we can compare colours directly. That's rather snazzy if you ask me, and infinitely more useful than an RGB picker.

@ DaMummy : Love the natural Hallucinogen, never seen that one before, it felt like I was 'coming up' for the last 30 seconds of watching it, then I looked away as instructed and wow, just wow! :wacko:


Here is another good one along similar lines to the first one :

The 'blue' and 'green' colours are in fact exactly the same.

This is one of my all-time optical illusions favorite because if you connect the "two" colors, it seems like it was a third color:

(that much zoom is really needed because if it was less, you'd probably still think it was 3 colors)

is this the infamous menstrual art ive been hearing about?

I've always liked ones like these that seem to be moving...

I love this thread! More! More!


Edit: This one is better!

Stare at the "plus" in the center and watch as the purple spots fade away....

that last one is better as an animated gif I once saw. The purple dots disappear in sequence, like something is going in a circle covering them up; stare at the + for long enough and the purple dots disappear and you see it is a green dot going around in a circle.

hum, the one in the middle is actually better.. or maybe it's cause i'm quite drunk... all theses moving circle are disturbing...

@ Poem58, those are superb, many thanks, love the middle one, really just thought it was an animated gif at first.


@ Wizard Stan, presume this was the one :
