Seeing a New Color Illusion
June 30, 2007 by Vurdlak
Sometimes we need few old school illusions to lift the spirit of our community. I noticed some of you like real-life ones better, and some acknowledge only hard core old school illusions as true ones. Which ones should I concentrate more on? Since I'm not really sure which ones you prefer, I'm posting them mixed.
If you remember the famous Eclipse of Mars illusion, the one that gave you opportunity to experience whole new color you've never seen before, you will like this one as well. Concentrate on the center dot for a minute or two, and you'll experience an interesting effect. I would like to ask you how many different colors you see in the animation below? Probably your answer is 3 (or 4 if you count the white circle). In reality the "purple-ish" circle in the middle is the same color as the rotating wings. Don't believe me? Fine, but now concentrate on one of the rotating wings, and you'll notice how the color matches inner circle perfectly! Enjoy and share this if possible.

Woah! It's green!
I looked at the illusion before I read your thing, and I just want to say that I never thought for a moment that the "figure" in the middle has any more than one color. My eyes still can't see it as two, having since read what you wrote.
Excellent!!!
Thats really neat!
Its was ok, i guess, at first i thought it was lame, but then the edges turned green!! Not too bad, but i prefer the 'new school' ones!! Cya!! ,N!
OMG!
I saw the center dot moving .. cool!
isnt this bad for our eyes?lol
Look at the eclipse of mars first then look at this it gives the outer color a pinkish tint!
green? i dont c green (no pun). it just looks lyk a mixture of the 2 clrs. maybe thats cuz im a lil color blind.
OH my god, real neat effect. At first I only saw like the purply color of the circle, but after I saw the Eclipse of Mars I saw the green surrounding the square.
Really nice.
I looked at one of the spinning arm thingys for a while but it didn't change colour :S
Sweet. If you stare for even longer after the purple circle appears, the "wings" go green. At least...they did for me!
Vurdluk, I think you have the balance of old and new school illusions about right.
like that is so cool i mean it looks like the coulor in the circle is diffrent to the wings
cool, but i like the mars eclipce more
green...these things kill ur eyes
coolio
WHAT!?!?! green? you guys must be color blind, or maybe it's me (w/e) I SEE A DIFFERENT SHADE OF PUPLE.
heh, pretty cool. :D The purply colour in the centre and the flaring green around the edge.
after i stared at pic i shifted my eyes to white area of screen and then saw green square. nifty
I love your work!!! I look forward to it each and every day. PZR
Very cool ... it sure did change colors! Wow!!
if you have a lap top tilt your screen down and look at it..... it appears to be jumping a little
