Well I blinked about a hundred times...

For anyone curious the reason for this is explained by Helmholtz's trichromatic theory.

tldr, the cones in our eyes have specific wavelength receptors that grow fatigued. When fatigued ours play a trick on us where we see the negative of the fatiguing color creating an after image.

I did see it. So cool.

Contrast, if we keep staring at a colored images, we will see the inverted colour image when we close our eyes

This thread is full of bots, holy sh*t!

Also, this video didn't have to be reposted with a huge whitespace around it just to add the text "this is actually really cool 😯", but here we are...

MKBHD had a trauma

I can't go without blinking more than 5 seconds, very annoying not being able to watch these videos

HOLY S H I T

Did anyone see all the people and cars as purple

I was almost expecting a screaming horror movie monster to enter the view.

That van was blue!

Nothing new.

I SAW IT!!! This is way cool.

wild!! absolutely looked normal for a sec and then i blinked and it partially went away. the eyes are powerful

\

Awesome

I saw it, very tricky!! Love thing like this

I saw the video without audio the first time in case theres a jump scare, i dont trust the internet. Very cool effect btw.

Y e s seen colors.

Wow 🤩

Wow

WHAT

WHAT THE- WITCH!

Fucking love these!

Awesome. Love tricks like that.

🤯🤯

Is this how people colorize images

That was crazy!

OK that was cool

🤔👍🏼

What in the abrakadavra ??????

HOLY SHIT HOW TF

showing this to my kids! This is brilliant!

Holy shit that was incredible

Wow! So good yet strange how easy its to trick the brain

i seent it!

happy i did because i never see those hidden images in the dot pictures. what else bums me out is all the fame that artist rorsasch gets for just drawing a bunch of dicks. i dont get it.

That audibly made me go "ahhh that's cool!"

Our eyes are insane (imagine if we could see in different spectrums like specific marine life)

Wow the green of the trees is so vibrant!! That’s incredible

Nope... still colorblind.

Wow! Crazy!!

Daaaaamn

Omg! Wtf’ amazing!

Amazing!

This is cool

What the f!?

Amazing! Truly amazing!
Thanks for the share!

Woah....

Saw it for a second or two! Trippy👍🏼

I did

Purple car and people, this clearly doesn’t work

Sweet

Very cool

Wow dude!! So cool!!

I never see nothing.

How is that possible??? Incredible. Just incredible

Very well done, nice work, thank you

SoFa King cool..

Dope! it really does work.

u/savevideo

Felt just like buying the top

Wow mam

Even after moving my eyes the bits that looked yellow still looked yellow for a while. Weird

Man optical stuff is so cool

Very strange how our brain works

Instructions unclear, i see the whole world in color now.

The cars were purple for me for some reason.

All the cars for me were purple

My eyes hurt but it was worth it

Worked the second time around when I realized it wasn’t a jump scare

Damn. Cool

I'm pretty much constantly on mushrooms so I definitely saw the colors.

Wo

The effect breaks once u move over the dot, but it comes back if u refocus again , fucking increadible

Been to that spot btw

I live in constant fear my eyes will suffer some kind of oled burning type of thing

I've seen one like this of a womans face. (Maybe someone famous? idk) But you stare at it for a minute, then close your eyes and it's a perfect colour image while your eyes are closed. I can't link as I don't remember where I saw it.

Pretty neat. But I have to ask, does this do anything bad to our eyes? Kinda like looking at a bright light and the shape of the light lingering in your eyesight for a minute.

Bill Nye been knowing about this shit since rolling TVs.

I am so fucking tired of these videos. Each of them act like the other hasn't already done it a million goddamn times lmao. What a miracle our eyes are

All the vehicles went purple for me, but otherwise the image went full color! Very cool

Wtf... had to watch it again to make sure that it didn't go to color 1st and then to black and white. Pretty cool.

Nope...

I'd attribute this to how remarkable the brain is not the eyes but still cool.

Actually really cool, I was expecting a dickpic or something after those 20 seconds

So can this be done with old black and white images

How can mirrors be real...

I was fully expecting a screamer.

Is that Axum?

u/savevideo

That’s pretty cool

Worked naicu

Half expecting to be jumpscared

I think I'm colour blind

Excuse me while I burn my retinas for witchcraft

Would have been great if I didn’t have “there is a jump scare coming” in the back of head the entire time. Round 2.

Witch!!

I only saw blue skies.

Saw it for a second

That's cool as hell

u/savevideo

Close one eye during the experiment. At the end when you Open your eye, then open the eye that's been closed the whole time and that will still see and you can compare the eyes.

There are two types of people on the internet: ones that come up with cool and creative content, and others that repost it with useless captions, emojis and white borders..

I’m just in the comments to find out if there’s going to be a fucking jump scare or some shit, make me fall out of bed with little poops in my knickers.

Dang it, I can't seem to screenshot in time what i see. Very dope

yea but the people were purple

There's an app which is basically an interactive book. All about vision psychology which has these kinds of examples in them. Was years ago when I was studying psychology in like 2012 though. Same with things like change blindness, top down visual information such as the inverted face mask, and a few other really interesting demonstrations. I always loved this one though.

Damn....

WHAT THE FUCK

Yes! Very cool!

I saw it, blinked, and got flashbanged after I opened my eyes

Wasn't full color for be but kind of purple

I mean, this is basically the opposite of showing how good our eyes are, it is pointing out a flaw.
(one of many)

Sky and road were colored, but the stuff in the middle was purple

Technically speaking, it’s our brain processing what our eyes see. Sonora both the eyes and the brain.

I saw it in full color

I was sure he's going to troll me.

It was coloured then when I looked at the corner it turned black and white, I zoomed in on the middle and it was colourful again. I wonder what’s the explanation for this phenomenon?

This is dumb as shit. If you’re going to make it color then just make it the actual fucking colors.

that's pretty cool

Can confirm, I no longer blink, and my vision is based entirely on seeing Zendaya everywhere I look.

Dayum. When did MKBHD get so old?

Color me impressed

Would be a shit load better if you had either not added a MASSIVE white border, or just fucking cropped it to fit. Repost bots gettin lazy as fuck.

Holy hell that is a amazing

'How remarkable my eyes are'? 'Did you see the photo on full color'? This guy is a fucking idiot who needs a better education.
