What if I told you I could make you see the true colors of a black-and-white photo without ever showing you the actual colors?

You might take that bet—but you'd lose!

This wild optical illusion is so powerful that it will have you seeing vibrant hues in a grayscale image.

Test your luck below.

How does it work?

The secret lies in a visual process called chromatic adaptation. This phenomenon is so strong that it can trick your brain into adding color to a black-and-white image, making you perceive colors that aren't even there.

Physicist-turned-biologist Andrew Steele explains this fascinating illusion in a quick, mind-blowing video below. Trust me, you’ll be amazed at what your brain can do!
