Chromatic Adaptation

Look at the cute little boy on the right side. He's shown in two different colors, right? Now gaze at the left plus sign for 20 seconds, then look at the right plus sign. The image is looking normal now! Ain't it incredible? This phenomenon is called chromatic adaptation. Your eyes adjust themselves to the overload of colors. When you look at the right, your eyes are still filtering out the cyan and yellow. For a while.
