Hy guys! Just a quick update, I’m in a hurry for poker game back at my house, but also wanted to share this cool illusion with you, before I leave the office. But before we proceed, please reply if your Vista Gadget has been working normally today? I’m not sure if it’s only me getting some loading errors. In either case, get the new version (v7.0) just to make sure it works. In the picture below, watch how Peter from Family Guy as Incredible Hulk changes from black and white, to full-color. Here are the steps: Stare at the dot in the middle of the pic for 20 seconds or more. Continue to stare at the dot, without moving your eyes. The black and white image will seem to be in color now. Looks can be deceiving, right? More of these can be found inside the Afterimages category. Oh, I have received some complaints about “yourfilehost”, where we used to store our files, and have successfully fixed Audio illusions. If you find more outgoing links to “yourfilehost” on this site, please email me to remove them as well!

pjotahh
oh first:D
These tards have nothing to add.
Nice illusion though.
awesome!
how the hell…???
Nice one!
wow obviously fake it changes colors when you r reading the post and i stared at the dot and it changed colors then i looked away and looked back and it was still in color. wow soooo animated
No, if you stare at the colorful one and not move your eyes, the picture will change the the “black and white” one, but to you, it will be in color, but it is actually originally black and white. It is kind of like the “stare at _______ for 30 seconds then look at a wall” because your eyes get used to the color or something (idk, it’s hard to explain) and when it changes, it shows the opposite color… I forgot the word, but you know what i mean…
OMG!!! lawl… green is sooo sexy for the hulk lol… and why is it blue for the family guy kid lol… i understand why its green for the hulk lol… cuz pink mixed with black and white plus brown = green but why does it make blue for the kid lol
That was surprising!
Really Awesome!
That is amazing!
This is the best illusion I have seen on this site!!! Stare at the dot in the middle when the image is pink and purple, then when it changes to black and white, the colors should be normal! like the monster looks green, etc. AWESOME
Very cool illusion!!!! Wasn’t sure where it was going when I was staring at the pink pic, but was blown away when the b&w pic came back! Or was it a full colour pic? lol
Impressive!! Keep it up!
Oh my gosh, that was awesome! Yeah, I was just thinking that it just changed from the pink to the black and white and that was it. But the black and white really does have color if you stare at the dot! Sweet! Heehee. That was so cool!
Cool.. Family Guy turns Green!!
Okay, you’ve all said over and over how to do this. You don’t need to keep saying it.
Second, all I got was sore eyes and no effect. Maybe my eyes suck, which would be why I can’t watch 3D movies.
ok… tht freaked me out a little…!
The illusion is that when it goes to black and white its in the normal color while you stare at the dot. – hulk green etc etc.
guy who posted says to watch from black and white to color thats actually wrong nothing will happen at all you watch from color to black and white then itll work only stare at dot
nice illusion!
A neat trick to try…while the image is in the purple/blue color mode, cover up part of the Family Guy with your hand so you only see part of the image. Then, when the image flips to black and white (which you see as normal color), uncover the rest of the image. The part you had covered will appear as black and white, but the rest will still appear in normal color.
haha i wonder how it would work if it was a picture of somthing someone hasnt seen b4, cus their brain wouldnt kno the colors… like almost every1 knows hulk, and peter is reconized by brain as hulk, but if it wasnt somthing the brain saw, at would happen?
Yes, it would; it has nothing to do with image recognition.
Why the hell are there 30 posts in a row explaining the illusion?
To the morons explaining the illusion to the bigger morons: It’s been explained. You can stop now.
thats amazing!!
There’s no illusion, it’s just a GIF that switches between the two pictures.
there is an illusion if usays ans it tells u the picture doesnt go black and white it fools ur eyes to thinking its normaly colored.. a udrrhurr sam.
um its an afterimage illusion. the colors BURN INTO YOUR CORNEA then when the picture changes your brain thinks it is in color and you see the afterimage work. DUH only an idiot would think there is no illusion.
There is an illusion, fool. The GIF switches but it appears to switch to a colored picture while it is not.
Haha that is cool!! U keep staring at it and after the color one keep looking at it and when it turns back to black and white it will look like it’s in acual color!!
by the time i finished reading it, it already changed to color
Sorry, i kno. he left a step out. You see…
1: Stare at b&w
2: stare at colour
3: when it changes back to b&w, the picture will be in full oclour for a few seconds
If the person who submitted this had described it more correctly I think more people would get it. Because the color changed while I was still reading the description I thought that was all it was and almost didn’t do it correctly.
yes there are two gif files that alternate. one is in color, one is black and white. if you stare at the dot, when the black and white picture cycles back it will appear colored that is the illusion
really cool i love these
This is absolute genious. Is this how Technicolor works? They take the oppisite color and mix it with the black and white color? Very interesting. It blew my mind.
Oh my gosh! That was crazy! :D
What surprised me was that when I got teh ‘colour’ image and looked away from teh dot the image turned to black and white yet when i looked back at teh dot it turned back to colour.
Not only image retention but also a bit of an image processing illusion
What you’re doing is overstimulating your eyes, they will try to counter the sharp colors with their complete opposites, in this case the normal color seen in the black and white picture, when the picture change to black and white your eyes won’t immediately return to normal so if you keep focusing on the dot the colors will still be there.
thats so cool!:P:D:D:
FUCK! Damn colored part of the image isnt long enough for the entire image to be colored…
what hole is tht..
ps. i didnt read the txt yet so dont judge me
LOL @ Colin’s comment, same here
Sean and Ashleylynn there is no green in either image in the gif but if you follow the instructions you see green.
That is the illusion, seeing green when there is no green.
And nods to Phil
U ALL SUCK IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A pee pee
you don’t have to stare at the dot just keep staring at one spot and it will work
HI I LOVE IT
It’s just a gif image lol
It rotates between to images
All that have been fooled are fools
Totally gives me a headache but still pretty awesome!!!!!
THAT LOOKS LIKE THERS IS A HUL IN THERE… IS IT???????? I NEED TO NOW THESE THINGS… WELL STAY GOLDEN JESUS LOVES YOU
1- BLACK/WHITE PIC: KEEP STARING
2- STRANGE COLOURED PIC: BE PATIENT. KEEP STARING
3- BLACK/WHITE RETURNS: VOILA!!!!!!!!
There’s a phallus between Peter’s legs. (pointing upwards) Or am I seeing things?
Oh shidd…..i see it
that was nice how it changed color wen ur not focusing on it but wen u do it goes back to normal
how is that?
Brilliant!
hi
ha ha ha….its not an illusion.
It’s a gif image you retard
Hey, thas a litle offensive to us disabled people
btw, if you stare at the dot, for a while, peter looks green. Amazing.
I have no idea what in suppost to be looking at?
It’s real, people.
I find it funny that people think they are smart because they thing the have cracked it; but really haven’t.
The coloured image is NOT full colour, how stupid are you?
If people actually follow the instructions, it works for just a flash of a second.
very cool illusion
please make more posts
more posts please
1: Stare at b&w
2: stare at colour
3: when it changes back to b&w, the picture will be in full oclour for a few seconds
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THAT.
It’s pretty cool =)
there is so an illution if u stair at the middle on the purple then next on will be green till u move ur eyes
This is ILL
WOW, cool. Now, I’m seeing after images of Peterhulk, and have a headache now.
You guys are fucking retards. Scroll down so the dot is out of your vision, and watch as the color changes… Idiots.
The illusion is actually Peter Griffin being in pain when hes purple, the hole thing is a bullet hole but the black and white is him being strong. You might now notice it.
Oh My God. Thats actually awesome, the illusion is above the picture. You stare at the dot for 20 seconds then the colours are actually there and he turns green
It doesn’t work with me. I’ve stared at the black and white picture for upwards of 5 minutes and it just stays black and white – no colour at all
how stupid . it goes from black and white, color, then normal color really fast because in that time you blink, which makes you believe its an illusion. -___-
it’s a GIF image…try savin it on your computer…
This Is A Persistence Of Vision Trick – Really Cool
EPIC FAIL! you can totes see it change when you read the paragraph hahaha losers try harder
hey so i was curious if it was a video that changed colors or if it was legit and WAS an illusion, so i copied the picture, put it on paint. nothing happened.
to make sure i did it right and was looking for the correct amount of time, i went back to this page, it changed. therefore its fake, and a a video, because the image didn’t do it on paint.
