Unfortunately, because this image is more compressed than the core of Jupiter, the balls are no longer exactly the same color

I found a better example (below). This optical illusion definitely works, the image by op just sucks.

As someone who is somewhat colorblind I can confirm they're all exactly the same color.

I just don't know what color that is

I'd call it a slightly less saturated peach.

I was going to say, usually you can bypass the optical illusion if you focus on specific spots hard enough

These balls aren’t the same color. Take a sample using the eyedropper tool in photoshop or something similar. Each ball isn’t even a single color. The only thing they have in common is the white dot in the center and the black used to create a shadow.

It's poorly compressed, but the balls are all about the same color if you zoom in and look closely.

Obviously, they are shaded to look 3D so they aren't a solid color. The illusion is real, though, and they all appear to be very different colors to your eye when zoomed out.

Whoa dude, how'd you get a picture of my balls

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Zoom in to see for yourself

What do you mean

According to a static analysis. However under standard conditions the end result is different colored balls to the casual observer.
