Best Optical Illusion… EVER!

I’m a big fan of optical illusions. I love how your eyes and your mind don’t always agree on things, and this is a great illustration of that.

In the picture below, square A and square B are the exact same color. You may find this hard to believe; I still do when I look at it, but it’s true. To prove it, take any image program or a colorpicker, like ColorZilla, and compare the colors. ColorZilla shows that both cells are the color #787878. Furthermore, I took this image into PhotoShop, cut out square B and overlapped it over square A… guess what? They match. Click here to see the results.
