echalk.co.uk— This website shows some cool color visual perception things. I think i might loose my mind next time when I'm picking out paint colors.

Great site, and the guy has taken the trouble to add swatches and masks to drag over the image so you can check for yourself. And I still can't believe #3 -- every time I take the mask away, they're totally different colours.I have a whole book of these kind of things and none of them are as good as #3
The pieces on both sides are a combination of blue and yellow. Two colors dotted together in one space (and not a single color). When surrounded by yellow, you see the blue. When surrounded by blue, you see the yellow.*But*, I think if they had used a filter, and not colored all the surrounding pieces but that one, we would have picked out the difference. Instead, they filled the surrounding pieces with the exact same shade of yellow or blue that was dotted in the center.So I would say that yes, perception can be fooled, but it happens when a great amount of trickery is applied.
^I agree, #3 was BS, I did a screen capture, and compared colors, they were not the same, as I could plainly see without the mask, and with the mask. And yes, these popular digs are slow!
dude. #3 was not BS, i did a screen capture as well and then made my own mask for it in photoshop and it is def legit. or maybe it's just our eyes that are different

Wow, that is crazy. Our brains are still very underdeveloped when it comes to perception...

The third one isn't all that impressive. One is purple through a yellow filter and the other is yellow through a purple filter.
