Optical illusion



this is amazing!













An optical illusion on colors, take note of the colour of background A and background B, the Grey color of both A and B appears to be different. One slightly darker than the other, or so it seems to be. Is it really different in term of tone?











The truth is, both A and B are of same color, take a look at the Grey strip that run across both the checker board boxes. Our mind is playing tricks with us.






initially i didn't trust the grey strip.



i thought maybe there was a gradient or something to blend in 2 shades of A and B. so i saved the first pict, open with Paint, and cropped out a part of A.


then i placed the crop beside B - viola! they are exactly the same!






even after my little experiment to prove they are the same, everytime i look at the pict, it still appears to me that A and B are just two very different tones!



amazing!

They are different! You are playing tricks on me! :P

Our minds are easily fooled! Maybe you should take a droplet with Photoshop and check if the RGB value is the same :P
