Best optical illusion I've ever seen

. - .... .- -. .... · 26th September 2002, 20:00

And they are the same colours. If in doubt check, it out in photoshop by by using the colour picker.

Just spent 15 mins trying to explain it to the dozzy b*****d I work with...st00pid eyes....

insomniac · 26th September 2002, 20:14

That is cool.

binary hero · 26th September 2002, 20:26

that's freakish.

fwgx · 26th September 2002, 20:46

Arr The old background colour influences the perception of the foreground colour trick

Very cool though

Shenlong · 26th September 2002, 20:50

I even cut the tiles in half in MSPaint and put them together, and the shades match even side-by-side!

Awsome...

sscw46 · 26th September 2002, 21:20

Whoa. Cool.

That is such a cute avatar, ethan!

Montana · 26th September 2002, 21:35

cool illusion,
btw, i also love that avatar, it's so cute
isn't that a cartoon character, i know i've seen that before

fwgx · 26th September 2002, 21:38

From Trapdoor I think?

I'm scared.

Trigear · 27th September 2002, 00:45

that was weird

ElChevelle · 27th September 2002, 01:15

Simply make a circle with your hand (much like a masturbatory form) and examine each surface color. There you'll see:

Your best girlfriend

I thought this was a David Blaine thread (the guy rules the world of magic)

MetallichicA · 27th September 2002, 01:22

That's definitely one of the best optical illusions I've ever seen. I still don't believe my color picker. I think it's lying to me. *paranoid look*

I love these things! Optical illusions, that is.

SNYder · 27th September 2002, 01:37

I am sitting here freaking out! that is so scary!

[edit]omg! i just made a seperate layer out of the B square and dragged it slowly over to the A. Try it and watch as your eyes perceive the color actually changing! AHHHHH!!!

james · 27th September 2002, 01:44

weird

even more so because i'm drunk

<offtopic> also this is odd cos my gf has just called me at 2.30am O_o </offtopic>

PhotoFx · 27th September 2002, 04:21

you can sorta see it if you let your vision get really blury, so you can't distinguish objects very well, but the colors get much more obviously similar. this works well for those with spectacles

ok ok, or glasses.

27th September 2002, 04:32

oooooohh Neat illusion..*stares*

Really thats pretty kewlies

liquidmotion · 27th September 2002, 06:12

that is sooo freakin' rad

insomniac · 27th September 2002, 06:16

If you can`t see it, these may help:

InvisableMan · 27th September 2002, 08:08

oh yeah?

think you can build this?

james · 27th September 2002, 08:26

lol IM! That's awesome!

I want one

rm' · 27th September 2002, 12:03

binary hero · 27th September 2002, 12:05

i am in heaven!

Xerxes · 27th September 2002, 12:37

There's a simpson's episode where Prof. Frink sells one of those impossible tube objects at his garage sale...

binary hero · 27th September 2002, 12:38

i remember that one, and homer buys a teleporter for 25 cents or something

Illusion · 27th September 2002, 15:23

Now that really lives up to my name

Even though I copied and pasted B onto A, and it's exactly the same, I still say that ethan_h is a liar

Seriously though, that's very cool.

Are there any good sites with more optical illusions like that? I've seen a couple of sites on the net, but none of them are really that good....

Jay · 27th September 2002, 15:34

I don't know I am kind of shocked that the illusion is that illusive, it's obvious that they are the same because the shadow from the cylinder changes the shade of what is percieved as the lighter colored square. I don't know maybe I am weired. But when I first saw it I immediately noticed the colors were the same. It wasn't until after looking at it for a while that the illusion of the colors being different started taking affect.

MetallichicA · 27th September 2002, 16:38

Perhaps if the letter "B" were the same shade as the letter "A" (or vice-versa) it would be more believable. But I'm still in shock. I think my eyes are playing tricks on me.

I used to have some good optical-illusion sites, because I did a graphic design project with them once. I'll have to see if I can find them again.

But now.... I'm OFF TO WORK! woohoo!

Signal Box · 27th September 2002, 21:55

Cool. Really cool.

Nothing more like an optical illusion to make my brain work.

dollerspark · 27th September 2002, 22:09

www.optillusions.com has some good ones.

Ian the Korean · 27th September 2002, 22:58

*feels his feeble mind imploding...*
@_@;

jeebus, those are some crazy illusions, really messed with my head!

LAVAB84615 · 28th September 2002, 02:51

whoa

laz · 28th September 2002, 04:48

WOW! at first, i was like "no they are close but not dead on" but i was wrong.
CRZY stuff. I love this stuff!

shyam · 28th September 2002, 07:04

Definetly THE BEST illusion that I have ever seen!!

shyam · 28th September 2002, 07:13

This one is nice too

There are only 3 colors: White, green, and pink.
There seem to be two different shades of pink, but there is only one pink.

InvisableMan · 28th September 2002, 07:57
