This is a pretty cool optical illusion:

Most of you are probably looking at the image and saying ,huh???????? as I did at first.
The two squares are in fact the same shade.

Try this:

This description is rather long but in essence, you are moving squares A and B next to each other for the sake of a side by side comparison.

Print two copies of the image. Take one copy and fold it back or cut it off so that the fold or cut runs about 1/2 way across square B. Overlay the folded/cut copy over the first copy so that the images are aligned. Notice the 2 B squares are the same shade. (They should be because these are identical copies.) Now move the folded/cut copy so that the 1/2 B square overlays the A square on the first copy. Note that the A and B squares are in fact the same shade.

This can also be done in a photo publishing software so you could sample one of the squares and compare it to the other.

That is amazing! I didn't believe it so I used paintshop pro to cut out "B" and place it over "A". An Exact Match. Truly amazing NHPilot.

That is impressive. I would have bet some serious money that those were different colors. Great illusion.
