Every Circle In This Image Is The Same Color

This image posted at reddit is an illusion. The twelve circles appear to be four different colors, but they are actually all the same color. You can enlarge the image here, which will help you see the real color of the circle. It's kind of peach. They appear different due to the different colored stripes allowed to cross them. What we have is an example of a Munker Illusion.



Yes, there are some people that the illusion will not work on. You can see a video that explains the illusion further at Digg.

The researcher says "seeing actual human bodies may set a more realistic point of comparison than photoshopped bodies presented in mass media". I can't find the paper to see if it factored in that some of the people in the drawing class might have a good idea of what 'actual human bodies' look like. For examples, the beach, the changing room at a gym or pool, or someone who works as a massage therapist or nurse/caretaker. I would also like to know how the anxiety of being a new student in a new subject, knowing there would be a nude model, vs. the relief and pleasure of having succeeded in doing the class, was a factor.
