    Nah, it's not an optical illusion. It just looks like one.

    Bad duh, chee!

    to prove this the easy way, is use the Eyedropper tool in photoshop or psp or something and compare the RGB values of the two squares. You'll see that they are indeed the exact same color.

    Kinda hurts your brain to think about HOW that's possible, but hey its still neat. I showed this to a friend and even after seeing the RGB values as the same and even zooming in like 160x on the pic to just the individual squares he STILL refuses to believe that those are the same colors. :P

    Lol, I showed it to my sister, and proved it in MSPaint. And she said, to quote,

    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td><b>Quote</b> </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"><!--QuoteEBegin-->...
    Close it, I don't understand it. It doesn't make sense. Make it go away.
    <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    If you look at it long enough you can tell it's merely the shade of the two letters that throw you off.

    What's so hard to see that it's the same shade? Looks the same to me... Maybe it's just my mindbullet powers...

    Ok, heres how it works.
    If you look at the above picture you can see the little piece of the square to the right of the B square that is in the light. If you compare it to the rest of the square it is lighter. Yet it is the same square, so why is it lighter.
    Because it is not in shadow, so the artist has made it lighter to compensate. This means that to make the picture he has made all the squares in the "shadow" darker.
    What this means is that the B square is what you get when you make one of the lightest squares darker.

    Now the reason this trick works is because your brain sees the 'apparent' shadow and compensates, makeing the square look lighter than it is.

    In laymans terms, the B square is made that colour because it is in the shade, so your brain makes it look lighter.
