Optic Delusion

Are squares A and B the same color?

If the picture has changed, click on archives at the bottom of the page
and go to "the same color illusion"

To really see the squares correctly in the second picture I had to block out all the
rest of the picture using two pieces of cardboard.

Very interesting.

Hi Pete,

Indeed it's very interesting.

And each NASA's picture of the day is fascinating and beautiful. The moon & Venus over Missouri skies (07/18), Sunset in Manhattan (07/13), White, Blue, & Red sky in Arizona, a perfectly dated for July 4th, & Moon rise over Seattle (10/11/03) are stunning pic.

Thanks for your post.

interesting...because I still see A as much darker than B even with the connecting band...maybe because I have a slight "double vision" problem?

Try covering the screen with paper or cardboard
with a cutout showing the subject squares.

Thats what I had to do in order to see them as the same color.
