Illusion
by Volker Weber
Squares A and B have the same color (#6B6B6B).

Zitat: "Man darf wetten, dass das niemand glauben wird". Dazu bleibt mir nur zu sagen: Richtig. Und trotzdem ist es wahr. Ich verstehe nur nicht, warum. Selbst wenn ich den Rest abdecke sind das nach meinem Empfinden unterschiedliche Farben, auch wenn es in der Bildbearbeitung tatsächlich dieselben sind?

I love that illusion - I have had it on my machine for a couple of years, and show it to people quite a bit when illusions come up.
That really is amazing to me.
Ich hab darüber vor anderthalb Jahren mal ein paar Zeilen geschrieben: Feuer brennt grün (dort runterscrollen bis zu Adelsons Bild)
I have not seen this before. So just to be clear, the letters A and B are the same colour, not the squares. Do I have it right?
No, the squares have the same color. The letter A is much lighter than the letter B.
Holly crap you're right!
I used a very complicated pattern of white sticky notes on my monitor to verify it. I had to hide all the other squares and the letters themselves before I saw that both squares are the same colour.
That is a fantastic illusion!
That's a good one, but nothing beats this illusion:

The graphic is NOT animated. If you don't believe it, print it out! Very spooky!
Art Director's Toolkit verifies that the above is true. If you're able to hide everything but those squares, you see it is true as well. Great illusion!
Contrast.
Nice find!
