Same Color Illusion
Category: Shape and Color | Added: June 4, 2009
In this picture the squares marked A and B are exactly the same color, despite the fact that A looks a lot darker than B. The fact that B falls within the shadow of the green object fools the eyes in to perceiving the shades of grey differently. It is in fact very difficult to see these two squares as the same color even when you are told that they are.

The colors are the same. The "B" square is just the invert of the "A" square.

they are not the same color grey, you can tell because the board is checkerboard and has two different color squares

Cool, I didn\'t believe it so I cut and pasted the squares next to each other and they are the same.

Check it again, if you cut out a section of one of the two squares in a paint program and move it next to the other you will see that they are indeed the same - color #6B6B6B.
