This has to be one of the coolest illusions ever! To my knowledge, John Sadowski is the original creator of this type of illusions. This is how it works: just stare at the dot for 30 seconds. This is animated gif file, that keeps repeating infinately. After about 20 seconds, grey scaled image of spanish castle will appear, but as your eyes adapt to the inverted image you were seeing first, you will see black&white image change to COLOR! Amazing! For original, full sized illusion, visit John’s website. There is also a movie clip available. If you would like to make your own Color Illusion, you should read this tutorial. If you make one, be sure to post link in comments! Previously we posted simmilar illusion. Check it here.

That is bad it is just two pictures changing in like 20 secs
you people who think its fake dont seem to get the idea of this thing. We can all see that the picture changes to black and white. The illusion is that the black-and-white image LOOKS like its in colour because your eyes have become used to seeing the reversed colours.
whoa! that was so cool!
Thats the stupidest illusion ever… Its probably photo shopped…
best oon this site basically aha
its reversed for me, its colored first then it appears black and white
u guys really beleive that?? there r 2 pics it changes its not an optical illusion!duh!
THAT IS THE COOLEST THIN IVE EVER SENN IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
Thats heaps cool!!
this was the stupidest thing ever i have seen better
Wow…
I am gobsmacked. I don’t want to seem rude, but I can’t believe how THICK some people truly are!
I think it’s an amazing image, and I’m glad that the ones who DO get it appreciate it.
The human brain is an amazing thing, with the ability to change black and white into colour is just amazing!
i dont mean to burst peoples bubble but its fake…
i thought it wasn’t working until i looked away and it turned gray!!!! cool
You guys don’t understand it. We all know the picture changes into another one. But if your looking at the black dot when it’s multicolored, when the black and white image comes on, it will appear in color. But if you don’t look at the black dot when it’s multi colored and it changes, it stays black and white.
You guys are retarded. The picture actually changes. This is how you can tell. On the first image, there are words at the bottom. It says stare at the dot. Then the words dissapear… hmm… Even if you aren’t looking at the picture, it changes.
that is soooo awsome
this is like so fake it changes automaticly
No WAY!! This one is just too cool!!
Kudos!
um… next time read the instructions before you actually do it… that will clear up a lot of this confusion. Great illusion! I love it!
Ok, the problem is that most of you don’t understand this illusion. Yes, it does swap between two different pics, one being inverted and the other being black and white. That’s not the point. you’re supposed to stare at the inverted pic, and when it swaps to the black and white pic, at first it will look as if it were faintly colored. This effect goes away after you move your eyes. Most people don’t see the effect because you have to focus solely on the middle of the pic, and they have to know exactly what happens.
AHAHAHAHA!!!… Ah.. I’m not done yet… HAHAHAHA!…. Okay, I’ve explained this on the two other illusions like this on the website so I’m not going to explain all of it again. Please, just read the description. If you were smart enough to read, maybe you could actually understand. READ. Example from Jennifer:

“This is because, (If you had at least some knowledge of the human brain you would know) the brain stores images as their inverted selves. Look at ANY picture for an extended period of time and you will see its inverted image.
It isn’t fake, it’s science. Whoever stereotyped people who believe this as “Americans”, that is because we are smart enough to understand it.”
Ok dude, FIRST OFF. If you have the image on your screen and just look around and then look at it you can see the image changing. You don’t have to look directly at it to see it change. SECOND, your eyes don’t adjust with the flick of a switch. It would be gradual. Not all at once, like this picture is suggesting. and THIRD. If you keep looking at it, the picture reverts back to the first ‘inverted’ image, even if you are still staring at it. Your eyes should have still been adjusted.
YOU obviously aren’t smart enough to ‘understand it’
It’s supposed to change dumbass…
b.s. it’s obviously fake
changes pics
Not real i didnt look at the dot and it still changed
Not best one on here
