These Awesome Optical Illusions Will Force You To See Black-And-White Images In Color.
I’ve created a series of inverted black and white images that will trick your mind into perceiving them as color. The image is accurately colorized, which takes hours in some cases. It is then inverted and offset slightly. This helps the visual area of the brain accurately realize the inversion, thus producing a working ‘afterimage’.
Here’s what you do: Stare at the white dot on the nose of each subject for 20 seconds, preferably in a room with dim lighting. Then look away to a blank wall or ceiling and blink a few times, you should see a colorized ghost image.

One of the world’s most photographed women in history, Marilyn is seen here in Costello’s restaurant N.Y in 1955. When you focus on a picture, the cone cells (used for color) in our eyes become over-stimulated. After a short period of time, these cone cells are only sending a weak signal to your brain telling you what color you’re looking at. This in turn makes the color muted and when you move your eyes to a blank space like an indoor wall, ceiling or sky, your brain will compensate for that lack of information. This means when you look back at the image you will see it in color.
