WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

[killeroftheshadows96]

@MCPOSJ117films it's so bright; so vivid

[MCPOSJ117films]

@killeroftheshadows96 lol

[licnep1]

@MCPOSJ117films that our visual perception is programmed to work both in extreme sunlight and extreme darkness, we perceive white/black only in relation to the surroundings, our brightness perception is only relative, not absolute

[MCPOSJ117films]

@licnep1 thanks mommy :P

[drandersw]

Very nice. Neat demo.

[asdfagadgadfasdfag]

open this image in paint and use the color picker to check, a and b are actually the same

[VIRRE47Wii]

..... I dont understand........

[Chrischi7777]

@VIRRE47Wii A and B are the same color although it looks like A is much darker.

You think your brain works now?Just put your finger on the screen where the line gets into the checkboard and you'll still think it's a different color...

[Hammerkeg]

Put a piece of paper over the image and cut out two small circles (one over the A and one over the B) you can clearly see that it is in fact the same color.

[dupa123l]

i get it now after wtching 3 vids like this i finnly get how its done, anyonw wnt an explanation

[coolton213]

@dupa123l i sure want

[dupa123l]

@coolton213 its caused by the shade!!!

[CZC899]

Damn, still looking at the initial image they look so different.

[offerberg]

it is a very small difference but it is a lighter gray: O! had been convincing if he had started on the B and painted up to A. You can see a ring around the letter b which are lighter gray.

[supersandslash]

i checked it and it is true, they are the same, but i still dont want to beleive it

[brendan0153]

yeah it is the shadow tha makes it look different

[TheRocketguy27]
