See a new color you’ve never seen before!!…Well… at least never before on your monitor. It’s a startling example of how poor the green/cyan element is on TVs and monitors generally. The colour you are about to witness is actually true Cyan … a colour that is heavily diluted on the vast optical illusions 10 majority of monitors (thanks to colour pollution). It’s a pity one needs an optical illusion to demonstrate this, but at least you can see what you’ve been missing ;-) Anyway on with the illusion….
Stare at the white dot in the centre of the red circle. The longer – the better (two minutes and you’ll get a much stronger effect). Always try to keep focused on the white dot. It’ll be worth it.
Soon after staring, you’ll start to see a thin rim of light around the edge. Don’t stop staring though yet! Wait another minute – keeping your head perfectly still.
Once you’ve done this, slowly – move your head backwards – making sure to keep your eyes focused on the dot at all times. The circle’s rim will glow brilliantly with true Cyan! Keep on moving your head slowly backwards, and it’ll glow very hot!…
The blue/cyan colour chart to the right isn’t part of the illusion, but there to demonstrate that the ultra cyan you have just seen is not in the monitor’s color palette! It should be, but isn’t.
It’s an amazing effect.

the blue circle after image is burned into my retina
That. was. awesomely. bright. It felt like a beautiful, shining portal was about to reveal itself to me from my computer screen. But that red circle was in the way. And now that the beautiful dimension did not expose itself to me–like the rest, the memory of it it burned into my retina…
OMGGGGG SO COOOOL!!!!! I SENT IT TO SOME OF MY FRIENDS! :) IT TAKES A MINUTE OF STARING ACTUALLY. BUT IM CAPITALIZING BC WELL I CAPITALIZE WHEN SOMETHING IS LIKE REALLY INTERESTING! 8D OR JUST FOR NO REASON LOL. I LOVE THAT COLOR. VERY CUTE :)
the most beutiful color of all time!!!!
what you can do too, is watch the image for 2 minutes liek in the instructions, then close your eyes and keep your hand before your eyes so your eyes don’t catch any light. Then, even when your eyes are closed, you can see the cyan. But this effect is a bit too strong. I see it even now while typing this comment :)
holy crap it works
sooooooooo bright i luv it is my fav color now I LUV CYAN YAY 4 CYAN
I only had to look at the image for a few seconds o get that color. It is truly magnificent but now I have that color burned into my retina. Its pretty but it makes things look a little strange.
