disturbed Posted August 7, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 7, 2006 Does anyone have any idea why this would appear to be a same color - it probably has something to do with shades but I am not sure - maybe someone who knows what they are talking about ? heh ... id like to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted August 7, 2006 CID Share Posted August 7, 2006 I don't know what creates this illusion.Did the site where you got it explain . I bet you could do this better but here they are so you can see the color is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted August 7, 2006 CID Share Posted August 7, 2006 Boy, I can not look at that too long cholla. It starts to hurt the eyes after a while. Kind of wierd though. Probably because the light squares around the A, and the dark squares arond the B. But they still look different to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted August 7, 2006 CID Share Posted August 7, 2006 I don't see it. especially if you look at the sequence of the squares, it should not be the same color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted August 7, 2006 CID Share Posted August 7, 2006 Good one. I can't remember where I've seen it before.. Another way to see it is to cover the surrounding squares with your fingers so you can only see the A and B squares... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted August 7, 2006 CID Share Posted August 7, 2006 tommie they still look slightly different to me to.but a lot closer in what I did.I don't have an image program that will just put two side by side or maybe I just haven't figured out how to do it. I bet someone with photoshop could. php : They still look a lot different in your picture.& either my fingers are too big or my screen too small to do it the other way.

Daiquirii Posted August 7, 2006 CID Share Posted August 7, 2006 they are the same color because of the shadow thrown by the cylinder. Our brain sees the checkerboard pattern and says that it is lighter. The different colored A and B in the squares just helps to strengthen the effect. The dark squares in the shadowed area are considerably darker than those not in the shadowed area, and the reverse applies to the lighter squares. You can easily create this effect by darkening a shadow in anything to match an object not in shadow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daiquirii Posted August 7, 2006 CID Share Posted August 7, 2006 @Daiquirii: Where did you find that? It sounds rather familiar.. I got it out of my brain, I'm used to optical illusions, we "studied" them in my psychology and human bio classes, nothing like this one though. I can usually see through the tricks that these things are playing with our brains pretty easily. You probably read something like it looking at an explanation for another optical illusion. I sound like a book sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
