but who forgot to pay the Apple into the
black-and-white film people hey Charlie
keep it down it's another picture
don't let these illusions trick your
eyes this is color illusions okay so
I've got two adorable penguins right
here one is gray and white and the other
is inverted color but I'm gonna throw a
little iceberg in the scene now I want
you to take a look at their bellies and
tell me which color of their belly
appears darker you'd actually be
surprised to find that they're exactly
the same both their bellies and let me
prove it by showing you in a viewfinder
they're both exactly the same color gray
and this is because your brain is
accounting for the same color under
different lighting circumstances now
let's move on to a more colorful
illusion so for this next one I want to
take this picture right here and create
a giant magical mural on the wall behind
me and we're gonna be doing that by
using the vibrant colors of the Pixma
printer by Canon and they're our sponsor
of today's video I've got a little trick
in order to help speed up production all
right buddy it's working and I'm gonna
have the help of to my teammates here so
let's get qj-- on and let's get to work
[Music]
[Applause]
well okay that was way more work than I
thought it'd be
but the mural turned out awesome huh
we've got two seagulls that you can see
here we have a purple seagull and we
have an orange seagull but what if I
told you they're exactly the same color
what if I also told you there was a
third seagull hidden in this mural right
here in the center smack-dab so if I
move this up it appears to match this
seagull color here of orange I move it
down the mural
it looks like it's changing colors to
purple but that's actually because on
this seagull we've got orange and little
gradient of purple and so it changes the
color appearance of it based on the
background that it's against pretty cool
huh okay flying out of this illusion
into the next all right so we've got
three flavors of Donuts in front of me
I've got white vanilla pink strawberry
and brown chocolate but you might have
already caught on that these flavors may
not be as they seem we've got the white
vanilla which is actually maple
now let's reveal brown chocolate this is
actually a maple doughnut as well but
this third donut is really a surprise
the pink strawberry is actually Oh
that's also maple would you look at that
so we've got three of the same doughnuts
and this illusion is created by mostly
this foreground object which is one
color while the background object is
also making an influence what's also
interesting about color is it can alter
your minds perception of the taste so
pink strawberry I really shine it but
I'm going to
so for this next illusion I've got a
regular stoplight and this is going to
demonstrate how important color is to be
seen in context so I've got a green blue
and a red overlay and here's what I want
you to do I want you to look at all the
stoplight colors and tell me if you see
any gray lights count them up comment
below how many you're guessing and now
I'm gonna reveal so you can see the
three grey stoplights there but what's
also fascinating is the light that
supposed to be yellow is actually green
this light is supposed to be red and
it's actually purple this one is must be
yellow but it's orange so it's pretty
crazy how your mind uses the context for
it to see the color and if I pull up the
color wheel here blue is a complementary
color to yellow so your mind naturally
fills in this gray colorless piece to be
yellow I want to show you for our next
illusion a really sweet negative color
trick
so let me invert this the interesting
thing about your vision is when you
stare at an image long enough you start
to see what's called an after image and
it's kind of like a ghostly image of the
one that you're staring at and so what I
want you to do for this next illusion
for you to experience that is stare at
the center dot and you're gonna stare at
the center dot for about 15 seconds
you're gonna want to make sure your
video is in full screen for this part so
stare at this marker in the center of
the image and try not to blink okay so
you're staring don't get distracted and
I'm gonna count down I'm gonna count
down from five and when I get to one I'm
gonna snap and the image is gonna change
ready 5 4 3 2 1 keep your eyes on the
center dot then have the colors in the
image become more normal try moving your
eyes around and you'll notice that the
colors that you think you're seeing are
actually not there in fact if you look
around everything is in grayscale
it's pretty wild how your brain can play
such crazy mind tricks on you
when in fact reality is much different
for this next solution I'm gonna go to
the computer because I'm going to show
you a little animation first let me turn
it to color so I want you to stare at
the middle blue duck and don't look away
from that middle duck so at first you'll
notice a gap moving along the
arrangement of ducks but right about now
you should be seeing a yellow duck start
coming into view even though it's not
there your mind's filling in the blanks
and it becomes so vibrant that you can
just reach out and grab it
oh rubber duckie now for this next
illusion we have to go into a world with
just one color
Wow so I am in a monochromatic room
right now which is really trippy because
I actually look completely d saturated
because of this special light which is
only emitting one wavelength amber and
so it allows you to do some fun things
when you take a regular flashlight and
introduce light back into the room for
me I can only see these as various greys
or on the grayscale but when I introduce
light you can see there there really is
color there on the shelf so my next
question is what color is this painting
to you to me I see a very dark gray but
when I shine a light reveals it's
actually blue and we have the red logo
you can do some other fun painting
tricks like this one it just looks like
a little tree seen with that cute little
butterfly but actually with light you
see that's a chameleon about to eat the
butterfly and a little friend butterfly
there
my great-grandfather passed on a
painting portrait from the western days
that it was well this has been the
monochromatic room I'm gonna go to
another illusion now so the really cool
trick about colors is if you stare at
them long enough they can actually pull
a trick on your eyes like this illusion
here if you're gonna stare at this
Center star and by the way this works
better on a desktop or a larger tablet
if you have one but stare at this star
and you may start noticing the word
dream and the color start to fade away
but comment below if that work for you
so I've got one more final illusion for
you right over here and this is a little
seizure alert if you are prone to
seizures do not watch this next part cuz
it's gonna be a little animation that's
flashy
but before we end this video if you
enjoyed it give it a thumbs up and
there's gonna be two videos over here
and subscribe over here but here is the
next illusion follow the directions so I
want you to stare at this animation of
the Z logo don't look away it can keep
staring now in just a few seconds I'm
gonna cut to another image and you
should see some crazy warping happening
okay so three two one
