- When the same color sits between two blue shades, 90% identify it as green, showing context drives perception.
- Optical Express explains the color's RGB values, grounding the illusion in science: RGB 0 red, 122 green, 116 blue.
- The brain converts light into electrical signals and interprets them in the visual cortex, the article notes.
- Experts say color perception relies on comparisons with surrounding shades, not the color alone.
- The article points readers to related optical illusion articles for broader context and exploration.
- The report aggregates insights from My Modern Met and Optical Express to explain perception variability.
- The discussion emphasizes that color perception is not absolute but influenced by context and brain processing.
- The article frames the color illusion as a psychological and perceptual phenomenon, not just a visual trick.
