is there any proof that there the same colour? or are we just taking it in cos the text at the top says so?
eh fucking hell - it is! thats fucking mental that! checked this image over in photoshop as well, both squares are 120-120-120 exactly the same. i dont get it.
stare at the black cross in the centre of the circle for a bit, mental. and this one's off it's tits as well: Stare at the white dot in the centre of the red circle. The longer - the better (two minutes and you'll get a much stronger effect). Always try to keep focused on the white dot. It'll be worth it. Soon after staring, you'll start to see a thin rim of light around the edge. Don't stop staring though yet! Wait another minute - keeping your head perfectly still. Once you've done this, very slowly - move your head backwards - making sure to keep your eyes focused on the dot at all times. The circle's rim will glow brilliantly with true Cyan! Keep on moving your head slowly backwards, and witness the Eclipse of Mars! The blue/cyan colour chart to the right isn't part of the illusion, but there to demonstrate that the ultra cyan you have just seen is not in the monitor's color palette! It should be, but isn't.
