MUST EVERYONE KEEP COMPARING DAMN COLORS TO EVERYTHING???



.. ///lol/lol


YES, their backgrounds are not, but A and B are,,wink..

The same color illusion—also known as Adelson’s checker shadow illusion, checker shadow illusion and checker shadow—is an optical illusion published by Edward H. Adelson, Professor of Vision Science at MIT in 1995. The squares A and B on the illusion are the same color (or shade), although they seem to be different. This can be proven by copying the image into an art program and sampling the color of A and then of B, which will show that they are in fact the same color.

“When interpreted as a 3-dimensional scene, our visual system immediately estimates a lighting vector and uses this to judge the property of the material.”

I'm usually really good at these things, but I'm having a hard time seeing the difference!

they don't look the same to either

The shade of grey are the same, the shadow creates the same shade seen in A.

if you say so

dude i love ebaums world.

If you run two bars of the same shade of grey along the sides of them they are the same color.

have you had your bobbysocks rocked lately ?

but in the orignal pic the A was white..

This frightens me

Either way, both boxes are the same shade of grey.

I'm totally freaked out right now

ok I see that. I thought it said the letters were the same color..
