Color Illusions

Simultaneous Contrast Illusion


Color illusions are visual phenomena in which the perception of color differs from the actual physical properties of an object. These illusions can be caused by a variety of factors, including the context in which the object is viewed, the surrounding colors, and the way the eye and brain process visual information.

Examples of color illusions include the afterimage illusion, the simultaneous contrast illusion, The Hermann Grid Illusion, and the Bezold Effect.

These illusions demonstrate that the perception of color is not solely based on the physical properties of an object, but is also influenced by the context in which it is viewed.
