Candy Stripes Illusion

40 comments

At first glaze you'll probably see some different color stripes in this pic. You'll see pink, blue, orange, green. Better look closer. Actually, the GREEN and the BLUE are of the same shade! If you bring your head closer to the screen, you'll see that the green/blue stripes actually go across the entire image. This is an example of the strongest eye tricks that show us how surrounding colors can make their neighbour colors look completely different! This illusion was originally created by coolopticalillusions.

    The whole trick here is the use of a technique known as retinal mixing. It is the nature of color to react to surrounding colors. This means that the color we think we see depends entirely on the entire color scheme used around it.

    Arr..whenever I look at the green, the green I'm not looking at is "blue," and when I go to look at the "blue," it turns green! @.@

    oh... that's cool! But I thought that they were two different shades of green, not green and blue. And to me, the pink looks purple. Is that the illusion or just my eyes? lol ;)

    agree with rayne. 2 diff shades, but if u put ur head a bit away from the screen, orange seems 2 be pink, and pink looks purple, or is that just me?

    Its usual but amazing like magic: Choose a white area on your pc/tv screen, take a magnifying glass, and zoom it. You will see only coloured points, none of them white. Where is white color? It must be there, in fact! As you close the glass to the screen, points get smaller and voilĂ , white color appears when eyes mix all small colors. Your neurons think their own way, and many times you don't notice it!

    Cool, I have great pictures of EPCOT (Disney World) and their beutiful (very) green gardens. I'd read somewhere that Kodak had desingned a special color pavement paint so the grass would look greener and, until today, coundn't understand how.
