………….if you don’t think so, prepare to think again.

Look at the image (click on it to make it bigger). How many colours do you see in the larger swirling spirals? If you see one green and one light blue………..you’ve been fooled. These two are actually EXACTLY the same colour.

The trick seems to be that what appear to be continuous thin orange and pink spirals, which traverse the larger spirals, are not actually continuous. Going through the green and pink larger spirals they’re actually orange in colour. But, through hat appears to be a large blue spiral, the thin spiral is actually pink. I’m sure there’s a much more convincing scientific explanation, however.

This raises the age-old unanswerable question as to whether the colours that I see, or perceive, are exactly the same as what others see.
