  There are several this kind of illusion which are hard to believe..
  I found this one
  
  
  In above image , it seem that square A has darker shade than B but in reality shade of square A and B are identical. Even if you proof it so, it hard to believe.
  Here is how to know about it..
  Open this image in Microsoft Paint application --> Click on Pick Color tool and select color from square A and note the color pallet and then repeat it with square B . You will find both are identical. 😀

  It is interesting.
  You can try this option. Punch two holes in a piece of paper 3 cm apart. Place this paper to cover sq A and Sq B so that the holes are over areas outside the letters. They are the same grey. Our brain sees ratio of contrasts rather than absolute values.

  It's amazing how our brain works. There is no green dot, and the pink ones don't disappear. This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see.

  Have we every thought of, how our brain reacts to these illusions?

  Makes you wonder how many illusions are around us and how many we never notice on a daily basis.

  Quite true. Some of them can be hazardous. Certain people when travelling along a long avenue with the sun shining down through the leaves overhead can get epileptic seizures at a particular speed because of the stroboscopic effect.

  #-Link-Snipped-# Great sharing. By the way, how is it working when both of them are of different color?

  They are not different color... that checker pattern and shadow of cylinder make them appearing different...

  The shadow of the green post is falling on the white square B making it grey, while Square A is in full light. However, our brain automatically subtracts the shadow because it knows that the original colour of B is white. It continues to see it as white.
  In real life, the shadow under trees is greenish. But our eyes ignore it. Similarly when the sky is an intense blue, pictures taken in the shade but in view of the sky have a blue cast, which the eye does not see in the actual scene. When you look at the photograph the brain does not have the comparison of the sky and sees a blue cast.
