  It is when you use cova cola instead of, lolipop, santa, flag, flower or some other red object.

      That’s so weird. You can stare at a pixel and go “yep that’s red”. Zoom in, still red. Zoom more, BOOM IT’S BLACK!

        The “red” parts are white, but yeah it’s interesting

      Why is my brain making the train stripes red? I don’t know what color they normally are, which I assumed was the mechanism behind the coke can illusion.

        Because our brains interpret colours and shading relative to their surroundings. That specific blue is on the opposite side of the colour wheel from red, so that relative lack of blue can be interpreted by our brains as red.

        Remember that white is all colours present, so white next to white will have more red than white next to blue.

        You’d get a similar effect if you stare at a bright blue version of the can for a while and then look at a blank white page or close your eyes. The after image isn’t the same colour as the thing you were staring at, it’s the inverse of that colour.

    Nah, it’s still colour theory. Now it’s yellow, magic. Image

        I’m right there with you, I just downloaded the first app I thought might let me shift hue.

      Jokes on you I zoomed in and out on the original and now the can appears white no matter what.

    This site has no protection against marketing aside from moderator action. I’m not certain OP chose a coke can for that image or whether this was simply the first version of that illusion that OP has seen
