Pretty cool examples of color screwedupidness.

no, the black piece was to hide everything else so you could see they were actually the same color. Since they don\'t look like the same color without it.

Heh the letters on the squares arent helping.They still produce the illusion.

Print Screen it with the squares only showing, paste it in paint and try to cut and put them side by side touching each other.You ll notice that they are indeed the same color :)

Post by: Eiksirf on August 11, 2005, 02:45:44 PM: No, the template for the third one is too big and leaves in some of the color that distorts the image. It doesn\'t look the same to me, either. Plus the shading makes it hard to do a comparison.

But if you pull it out of there and check the RGB value, you learn it\'s the same color.

Pretty fucked up, really.

The cylinder is casting a shadow over the lighter colored block making it appear darker. That doesn\'t mean the darker color is the actual color. Also, even when you toggle the image, square A is still slightly darker than square B. You can\'t see the color difference with the swatch with square A, but with B you can see the fuggin\' outline of the box. Someone doesn\'t know how the f^ck to use colors in an image editing program.

2nd one actually did look different even though they were the same.

The third one isn\'t even the same even with the mask over it. The image is such crap quality and you can see many different color variations between the two images when the mask is over them.

Um yeah, they are the exact same color (RGB 107 in Photoshop).

Doh... that\'s why it\'s an illusion. Sure the ACTUAL lighter color isn\'t the same as the dark ones, but the "light color" covered by the shadow is the exact same color. Otherwise it wouldn\'t be an illusion. :stick:

It\'s true that the quality is crap and that it\'s not an even color. However, they\'re very similar - in fact so close you could say they\'re the exact same (overall) color:

In Photoshop...square B is 107, 108, 114... Square A is 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110...

Mostly overall though...it\'s 107. I was just speaking from the perspective or real life. Shadows can make things a different color. Sunlight can make things a different color. But that\'s not what the illusion is about. They don\'t look the same and that\'s just...trippy.

Thanks for the pic of the 3rd example. You pointed it out better than the site did. It\'s easier to compare when it\'s side by side.

Sand in your vagina or what?

Post by: Evi on August 12, 2005, 06:21:50 PM: No...the image is low quality so different color variations are apparent. The overall color is the same though. I cut out square B and dragged to square A and it was exactly the same. What\'s strange is, not all of the other dark squares are the same color as square A, even though it appears that way.
