Color Tiles Illusion

(2 votes)

Despite the fundamental difference in the apparent color of the “blue” tiles on top of left cube, and “yellow” tiles on top of the right cube, all the tiles are in fact physically identical – in both cases GRAY. Second image proves what we would see if we covered all other tiles and background with [...]

Disappearing Yellow Dots Illusion

(10 votes)

I had this illusion on my laptop for quite some time now. It looks very simple, but worked for me only yesterday. If you concentrate hard enough on the image center, after a while all three yellow dots will disappear! Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself! It may take some time and concentration, but [...]

Same Colored Checkers Illusion

(2 votes)

Consider this an advanced version of original Checkers Illusion. To be honest, I didn’t have time to check this in photoshop, but supposedly both sides of this 3D object are exactly same color. Hard to believe isn’t it? Well, after seeing and covering more than 1000 illusions, I finally understood that everything is possible. If [...]

Seeing a New Color Illusion

(5 votes)

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. [...]

I’m proud to announce that we have started the “Co-editors” beta project. As the title says, there will be some guest bloggers writing articles in the following weeks. The reason I started this, is because there are so many submissions and illusions on my hard drive, that I can’t manage to post them all. This [...]

Color Changing Illusion

(4 votes)

Ed Minchau from Robot Guy, was messing around learning to do mesh objects in POV-Ray and stumbled on this illusion by accident. As we see, the image is in full color, but apparently if you stare at the center of it (from a distance of about a foot) for a few seconds, it turns into [...]

Expanding Brown Dot

(7 votes)

I found this optical illusion through my Google Alerts email, and noticed it’s pretty interesting. At first you may miss the illusion, but if you watch carefully the center of the brown “dot”, you will notice that it appears to be expanding. The effect by its nature, is quite opposite from other illusion located in [...]

Moving Colors Illusion

(2 votes)

They say that if you see colors moving in this picture, you’re under influence of some kind of a psychedelic. I say it’s only another optical illusion. Or maybe both… You can also test your soberness with these similar illusions: real life hallucination, hyper-field illusion and eclipse of mars. How did you experience this colorful [...]

Diamonds are Gray! Duh…

Friend of mine emailed me this cool picture! You may ask what’s so cool about it, thats what logically follows. I suggest you try figuring out yourself what is the illusion here, but if you are lazy continue reading this post :) This illusion is another example of this. Believe it or not, all [...]
