that green is the complimentary color of that pink and since your eye will retain the opposite color of that which is reflected the illusion occurs
simple color wheel trick
ie: stare at a bight light for 1-3 seconds close you eyes or look away for a second. The exact opposite image will majically appear on the inside of your eyelids or burned into you vision and everything else dissapears.
yellow turns purple
red turns green
blue turns orange
black turns white
or visa versa
this is basic color using complimentary colors when painting is how you achive accurate muddled colors without the use of black

That is cool. Try the editable version and stop it. There really isn't a green dot spinning around. I didn't believe it till I saw the thing stopped.

I'm getting dizzy... can I stop now?

That makes me hungry. Who's up for lunch?

Leet
I was able to make all the pink dots disappear in a few revolutions, which was only 10 seconds or so.
But the dots reappear the moment my eyes jogged a tiny bit, and a slight displacement of vision occurs when the light hits a different set of cones in my retina.
Still amazing how the brain interprets what it sees. This is proof that you don't see what your eyes see, you see what your brain translates coming from your eyes.

Gah! I hate you, Sarge! /me slams head against desk!

That's weird; I didn't have any problems with it. I know it royally screwed me over the first time I saw it.

It's painful, and it slows you down, but if you don't actually READ the words it's a lot easier...
...nonetheless, it is very very amusing.

nice... I got the pink dots to disappear- it's wild.

They didn't quite disappear to me. They just dimmed into near indistinguishability.

I'm colorblind.
Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2005 11:53 pm
what level of colourblindness?
and what do you see in this illusion?

Not sure what level.
I can see the different colored dots, I just don't know what color they are. It's easier for me to identify it if I can stare at a color -- as opposed to briefly flashing dots.
I can usually manage to confuse red and green. In sarge's picture, if there were no greens, I probably wouldn't be able to tell if the reds were red or green.
