Brown Diamonds Optical Illusion

By Minnesotastan in Everything Else on Nov 25, 2009 at 1:36 am


YouTube link.

Similar in principle to the colored spirals, the shades of blue, and the famous checkershadow illusion, this video demonstrates that our brains judge colors by comparing an object or area to other objects or areas rather than assessing the color directly.

Found at Reddit, where there is a discussion thread re the illusion.

    We had assignments like that in art class. I had to argue with my professor about a similar problem. :p
