This is one of the better optical illusions I saw lately. Image below is infact animated gif, which loops forever. What you have to do, is look at the blue and yellow negative, and then after 30 seconds or so, the photo of a mountain will appear . Eventhough the mountain you see is greyscaled (black & white), your eyes are tricked and image looks like it’s in full-color (until you move your eyes though…) This fascinating work was created and subitted to us by John Sadowski and you should check John’s website to find even more innovative posts like this one!

It Is Fake!!! If You Look away from the screen and it still changes. If Ya think it’s real ya an idiot!!
People who think its fake here is an explanation. It starts with messed up colors like purple and yellow and than it turns to black and white and back to yellow and purple again. IF u r staring at the dot in the middle, when it turns black and white it will kind of look like it is in its ORIGINAL colors.IT IS NOT A FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF IT DOESN”T WORK FOR YOU THEN WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOW… You would think after 90ish comments, people would finally understand how this works. But no, they’re too stupid/oblivious to understand. Guys, don’t say anything, but just think. Jeez…
P.S. I’m 12 and I understand this :P
i dont understand why all of you are fighting over it being fake or not….its only 1 pic of 2 colors and 1 black n white pic of a rocky mountain…stare at the black dot and when it switches to the black n white pic ur eyes r telling you its n color till u look away ..but u know its a black n white pic..idiots i tell ya hahaha
wow these people really hate 12 year olds. i am a 7th grade teacher and work with them almost everyday. I can assure you, that sometimes these children’s mental capacity astound even me!
haha thats obviously fake. it changes back and forth in a loop. and it also says dont take your eyes away or it will go away. try it
Me
Oh my gosh! How did that happen? I kinda feel dumb right now. And freaked out….
Lol what a bunch of morons its fake… it changes to grey and then it gets coloured to fool you and you believed it!!
for people who think it’s fake just take a screenshot of the orange-blue image and one of the mountain image, crop them and recreate the loop image by yourself. Or just look away when the orange-blue image is no and look only when the mountain appears – you’ll see it’s totally monochrome
whats with that?..it changes even though you dont stare at the dot at the middle….sheesh….i understand it..but…anyway…i just passed by…
im a 12 year old girl…bye….hope to see something nice….in this website….
When I llooked it and blinked the picture changed. I was like “Amazing”, but then i red the comments.
I was getting frustrated because It wasn’t working for me, but after many tries I saw it. That was one of the neatest things I’ve seen. That’s so very cool how that works.
People who don’t understand these are so idiotic and stupid that they can’t even read the beginning paragraphs. I always loved these and understood how they’ve worked since I was 10. People who don’t understand it don’t understand it because they refuse to read a bit of writing, and miss out on a great illusion.
And by the way, it is SUPPOSED to be inverted and then grayscale, the changing between them is NOT the illusion, and all the people who say it’s fake when it switches images, go burn in hell.
Simple solution. Watch the thing and the instant it changes to b/w, hit your print screen button. Then paste that into a word documnet or paint program and look at it for as long as you want. If that’s too technical for ya, then hold your digital camera with the shutter button ready to click, and take a photo. Then look at it. You will see that it is indeed black and white. It’s just your eye post-processing negatives…
Fake, I read the comments and then scrolled up and it was black and wite already
For those of you who think it’s fake, YOUR MORONS. It’s suppose to change to black and white. When it changes your brain mixes up the black and white image your seeing with the orange picture you used to be seeing. The mix of colors tricks your brain into “seeing” a full color picture.
just one word, amazing!!
Amazing ! What a great effect ! It is also amazing how many morons claim this is fake. READ first, then think, than try it !
It’s not fake.
This is real. If you don’t concentrate on the colors, and you are just staring at another part of ur screen, when it changes, you can clearly spot that it is black and white
Okay for all of you who thinks this is fake.. is fucking stupid! Listen, the picture is SUPPOSED to change.. thats the whole point!! stare at the picture and once the picture DOES change, you will notice the picture has colour to it.. Now, redo this and dont look at the picture. You will then notice that once it does change, its only black and white where as the first time you did it, you saw the picture in colour once it changed

That is insane…even the colors invert to where the sky is blue and the land is a natural orangish color….pretty cool.
This isn’t fake. Actually there’s a test where you are put to observe for a hole minute four blocks (blue purple red and yellow) (like in a window) with a black spot in the middle. After the minute your supposed to turn your sight into a white page and you’ll see the same blocks and colors but in inverse positions.
ammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm here! its fake! obv it changes so blatantly its ridiculous! download it and check in paint or even check its file size movin pics are bigga dan dis one shud be!
WOOOOOWW!!!
you think this is fake because you are idiot
if you use the little peanut who you call brain you will see
when your brain gets used to the blue and yellow image, the image changes to black and white and therefore the brain “blend” the colors and creates a true color image
xD
Ok, you guys who say this is fake, yeah, you’re dumbasses. The illusion is NOT the colors changing. If you think that’s the illusion and say “ITS FAKE IT CHANGES TO BLACK AND WHITE HAHA LOL YOU ARE STUPID TO BELIEVE THIS” then I will forever wonder why you were born with a pea as a brain.The illusion is this – You stare at the black dot in the middle, the negative image is “burned in” to your eyes, and when it changes to black and white, it looks as if it’s the real colors. I feel stupid having to explain it to you idiots who say it’s fake.
oo thats cool i kept my eyes still and it stayed uintill it changed into the negative color thing
This is only for the people with the mental capacity to read – READ FIRST, THEN LOOK. And stop thinking that the change is the illusion.
i’m sorry but this is definitely fake, it worked for me so i copied the yellow and blue image and pasted it in word to make sure….it didn’t work there even after staring for over a minute…and when i momentarily flipped back to this page it changed without much staring at all
Something weird here… im probably sure im the youngest and i dont think its fake. I saw some here are 12 yes i know.. but i am TWELVE. COMON A TWELVE YEAR OLD IS SMARTER THAN ALL OF YOU WHO THINK ITS FAKE???
3 wurds… read my name
The most amazing thing is the people who truly believe it’s fake. I’m not sure if that’s funny or pathetic. If the peanut works a little download the image and open it with a gif editor to see there’s only two images in the gif, none in colour. You can also see in the code that there’s only one image loaded… If that isn’t enough, well… maybe it’s all a plot from the CIA. Ha.
