Could this be real!?

[tiny2kool]

Look closely at tile A and B. They seem to be different shades of gray. They are actually the same exact shade.

Don't believe it? Try opening up the image in Paint or another image editor and put the 2 tiles side by side

Good lord!!! Where did you find this

 

[JRoc]

I hate these things!!!!!! They tie my brain up in knots

 

[lilu]

I can't explain it, but it is real. I put the image in Paint, and sure enough, A & B are the same shade of gray!

 

[xobballblondieox]

Yep - I remember this one from a year or so ago. I even printed it out and cut out the squares - they ARE the same shade.

Seein is believing? Not always so

The tile thing is real and there is a rather dull explanation for it.

All ears Teacher, please tell (Hands Teacher an apple)

Neat trick, pretty cool.

You can also tell they are the same colour by covering your screen where all the other tiles are (showing only tile A and B).


There is one I used to have where you had to find the black dot. I had it on my desktop for a little while untill it gave me headaches..

Its a black and white pattern, and wherever you focus on the white dots, the others a black. Focus on the black dots and they go white... very weird. Can never find that black dot .

I showed the pic to my GF. It freaked me out. Now I am wondering if I am really wearing grey.

Ok bad pun, I will shut up now.

Count the number of black and white dots

 

[ummeeshoes]

How we perceive shades of colour depends a lot on the contrast from other colours around it. I used to have an illusion that made you see a colour that wasn't there. I'll have a look for it.
Homework for everyone next week!

[FedoraG]

No! I don't need to be reminded about school by "teacher" telling us to do "homework" Its to close the the end of summer break! I'm sticking with this illusion stuff and pretending I've got 3 weeks left!
