Can You See the Truth in This Optical Illusion?

LOL! Dave, you have funny looking square fingers.

Dex, it's the same optical illusion tricking you into seeing shades of gray in the overlaid box. Do it yourself (that's what I did). I just used the eyedropper tool to select the color in A, drew in a rectangle connecting the two squares, and filled it with the color in A. Lo and behold, it really is the same as the color in B, but even with the rectangle there, my eyes still wanted to interpret the squares as different colors because of the shadowing effect. Really nifty, huh?

Printing it off and physically cutting it and combinting the two squares is the best proof for me...

But while you're using the eyedropper, why don't you just look at the RGB value for square A and square B?
