My first thought was.. cool.. My second thought was, as a test, does it teach you anything about yourself or your brain to measure the amount of exposure time relative to seeing the color version and then how long it takes for the color to fade? Do some people need to be exposed for longer or shorter amounts of time before seeing the color version? Do some peoples eyes return to "normal" after a 30 second exposure? Does it mean anything if there is a difference between different people?

Yeah, I know, after one bad experience you don't trust anything anymore.

@bannonto what the hell are you talking about?

Because the picture is black and white. Your eyes tricked you into thinking it's color.

I only saw it in color for a fraction of a second. :(

At first I thought it was going to be one of those scary ones too, but I took the chance. Really pleased it's a legitimate illusion. Also nice to see it's a really good one. I found the site map that lists all of the ones featured on the original website:<a class="user" href="http://www.stareclips.com/sitemap.asp">http://www.stareclips.com/sitemap.asp</a>

That's stupid. It's about the four-millionth time I've seen an inverse color illusion.
