But I just wouldn't call that black. Because... it isn't. The color is sort of muddy and brownish. So I don't understand why everyone in 'my' camp insist on calling it black and nothing else, if that is really what they also see. Especially when there's a whole bunch of other people calling the same color yellow gold. Anyway, I think some things about this will remain mysterious to me.
I appreciate your answer. But aren't you just in my camp, maybe? If some people in the blue/black camp see a yellowish brown, why do they call it black? And why do they insist it's the only way the image could be interpreted?
What struck me about the whole thing was how people seemingly could not fathom how the colors could be seen as anything other than what they personally saw/interpreted. Were some of them exaggerating, do you think?
This picture made me feel incredibly weird. I see blue and brownish - we can call it gold. Like, I see the same colors you'll see if you do an average color extraction over the image using an image processor. There's no color illusion for me at all.
The whole world went mad in two camps and I'm in neither.
Cool, but it's pretty hard to decipher the illustration
