  1. Both the Red and the Blue seem a deeper shade in the top left half, even though the colours are identical. A real puzzler!

  2. If you block either half of the lettering where it changes shades, it becomes apparent that the red is the same shade, but the blue is two different shades.

    Good illusion!

  3. while it looks like 2 shades I beleive that is 1 shade red ,however i think that the white border on the blue letters makes the perception look otherwise.

  4. Look at it with your eyes normally opened and u’ll see darker / lighter red split by diagonal.
    But now try to almost close your eyes and look thru your eyelashes… RED is the same…, no darker, no lighter, just RED…
