A COLORFUL OPTICAL ILLUSION reveals how your brain can change the color of objects.
Japanese psychologist and artist Akiyoshi Kitaoka created an illusion to show how moving objects can trick our brain into guessing their color instead of seeing it accurately.

kitaoka formerly posted a video on Twitter and appears frequently online.
The original post reads: “The moving square appears to change color, even though the color is constant.”
As you watch the video, you may think that the square changes color from grayish to pink.
However, the movement of the square and the colors it goes through trick your brain into thinking that.
Actually, the square is still the same color.
A Vox reporter explained: “You can look at this illusion and feel like your brain is broken (I felt it when I first saw it).
“It’s not. It just reveals that our perception of color is not absolute.”
The illusion works because our brain uses the surrounding colors to make an assumption about the color of the moving object.
Our brain filters things like the color of light without us realizing it.
They then guess the color based on what they infer.
However, people may filter the color differently.
This can cause people to see different colors and illusions from the internet like ‘The Dress’ which made people crazy in 2015.
