Technically false. Digital images are made up of pixels like this:

which reproduce colors by adjusting the intensity of the red, green and blue light in each pixel. If nothing else, every white pixel in the image contains a full-brightness red segment.

Some of that white is not as white as the others. There's definitely a reddish tone of you zoom in.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah probably jpeg compression muddying it up. That combined with another comment about white pixels containing red makes me think that this illusion was intended to be printed out.

I find that reddish tint foes away if I zoom in and block out the teal parts

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

It's just less teal spots, not much redder, especially not as .uch as perceived

First two are from the centre, the last is not

I see a faint red briefly, then it goes away.

[–] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

I don’t see blue. I see an aqua green color.

Is my brain broken? Why do I not see any red? Should I be?

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Your brain isn't broken, it's just a really bad attempt at viral marketing.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

I'd say it's rather an indicator of the person who's had too much exposure to the previous marketing. Also neurodivergence may work against this illusion the way it breaks some of the others

[–] Skasi@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

For me it's only there when I don't focus.

maybe because I am color blind, but I am only seeing the blue and some white.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

This is a lesson white balance.
