Actually... They are.

Just take a chunk of A, and a chunk of B, using a paint proggie, put them next to each other somewhere in the whitespace, and yes, they are the same.

Not on my screen, since I have lcd with not too great vertical contrast, they are different colors unless I tilt my screen I'm dumb!.

I had to try this because I didn't believe it. spooky. time to pluck 'em out 8-)

If you grab a chunk of B, watch it carefully as you drag it around, it appears to get brighter/dimmer when you move it in and out of the shadow.

OMG! I didn't think so, even when i took the small region around the tiles it appeared different but when i yanked out just a small sample of each they were exactly the same.

I tried it in MSPaint and noticed that too. Spooky indeed ;).

I thought everyone might get a kick out of it. I didn't believe it either ....

Just put your hands on the screen and block everything except those two squares, it's quite obvious then...

Focus on the dot and move your head towards the screen...

Link works for me (assuming you're refering to mine). In case it's just floating in my cache, I'll upload it to my site now. Hang on ....

EDIT: Better?

Marcello's is cool too, but I've seen it before 8-)

Ya I've seen 'mine' before too, hell it's not mine someone sent it to me. ;-)

I've seen some live illusions that are even scarier I'm dumb!. There was this plastic net grid thingy that was white, and if you tried to focus on any part of the net, you'd see black dots in the middle of all the crosses everywhere you weren't looking... very disconcerning. :-)

I didn't post it ::) If memory serves, you were the one who first posted it (that's probably where Marcello got it from).

It is pretty freaky though. For those who don't know, look straight at the black dot and move your head into and out of the screen. Almost as cool as mine ;) ....

I cannot see it either but I'm guessing it is this one:

(made it a GIF because the original version I saw on LLamasoft this weekend was a BMP, not nice for the non-IE crowd :-)

That first one that 23 put on is twisted. I opened up my friendly neighborhood mspaint, and after "picking a color" on the b square, drew a vertical line with that color - and it looks like its a gradient. Weird. And that greeen swirly one freaked me out too.

cool. I saw it, and explained it:

its caused by the darker squares around B, and the fact that the letters are in different colors:

Not a link, because Yahoo! didn't like it that way, not an image so i don't give it away.
