I confirmed in Photoshop that there are no colors other than black, blue and white. No brown. No red. This is messing with my head.
White contains every colour in the spectrum and by contrast is red compared to blue. Also that isn't blue it's cyan (lolwattafag) which reflects green and blue light but not red.
So there is red in the image (don't freak out) but it's hidden in the white, the cyan makes the white look red by contrast. Cool illusion though
Similar idea on how our screens work. You see a white pixel but technically red ie is literally being shown independently in its own micro pixel.
So whites are the best, and once again, blacks hate other blacks so much they try to look red. Got it.
Darken the room you are in, and close your eyes for 30 seconds or so, and then turn on a colored light and stare directly at it for a second or two. Now close your eyes again, and you will see an afterimage that is the exact opposite color to the light you were looking at.
This image is taking advantage of the fact that your retinas work on a photochemical basis, and that if you show a primary color interspersed with black you will get a tinge of the opposing primary color in the resulting image. If you show any color interspersed with black, it will show a tinge of the opposing color balance.
Doesn't look like it has red pixels though so that makes sense.
You don't see red strawberries and light brown wood counter?
I think if you're Ashkenazi then you might not be able to see the red. It's a genetic thing I'm assuming.
Anticlutch isn’t Ashkenazi he is cheese nigger
No. I see the colors that are there. What the image is doesn't tell me what colors it is. Also I thought it was rocks.
Sad. My friend didn't realize he was colorblind until he was 10 years old and I thought that was late.
I wonder if it has the same effect on paper. After all the white on screen is produce using red light so the white is more red than the blue and black.
I guess the white on paper is also reflecting red. It would be interesting to try it with filtered light too.
I see brown, not black, dots.
There are no brown dots, only black and blue dots. Just opened it up in an editor.
I believe I'm seeing some suspiciously brown looking pixels also.
Brown is a combination of red and black. Would need to import the image to a photo editor to check the exact color.
I think those suspicious pixels might in fact be black, but my device is not able to zoom in enough.
Zoom in as far as you can at the right hand cut strawberry, the brown or red you see is the lack of light blue in between the black dots. The white background is contiguous between the two areas.
I dunno, they look red to me...
I zoomed in enough, they are black, but as soon as you zoom out even a bit, they look brown. Before you can even see what anything is they look brown. I guess brain and/or eyes doesn't like black and blue dots. I thought it would be context, like 'because It is strawberries', but no. Eyes make black dots brown next to blue when on white. Lame.
I see red
I don't see any red. The tops of what I assume are strawberries, look off-white.
White, on a computer, is equal parts red green and blue. If there were no red channel in the image at all it would not look like this. But yeah this is just like the white/gold blue/black dress. Your eyes adjust for what they percieve as the tint of the ambient light. So instead of a blue image in normal light your eyes see a normal image under blue light. Because your mind knows those are strawberries and so assumes that its a photo of strawberries with blue light shining on them and thus you percieve red as a natural color correction.
