here's a question that will mess with your mind for the rest of the day what color are the strawberries in this photo if you said red you are wrong this optical illusion is driving folks bonkers on the internet because we are all realizing that our eyes are lying to us so let's break down what is happening in this photo of strawberries on a pie believe it or not there is not one single red pixel in this photo it is all hues of blue and gray but our brain does something funny we know strawberries are red we see that there's a blue hue to the photo so our brain is perceiving this image as being under blue lighting and it corrects it for making the strawberries appear red but if you go through each pixel you'll see there is no red in the photo at all this color correcting effect is something our brains do all the time when we see objects under different types of lighting if this trick feels familiar it's because we've been here before exactly two years ago this week remember the dress oh yeah that debate got people raging online because some people's brains were interpreting the colors as white and gold and other people saw blue and black because of the lighting in the background of the image the strawberry optical illusion was created by artists Akiyoshi Kitaoka he's a professor of psychology at Ritsumeikan University in Japan and if you take a gander at his library of illusions well be careful it could break your brain not only is this trick making me hungry but the fact that I can't trust my own eyes anymore is causing me to stress eat is this even read how could I believe anything anymore for scheanette I'm Bridget Carey
