THIS optical illusion will make you wonder what exactly is in front of you.
Shared by UK-based Lenstore, this mind-blower is designed to trick you into seeing color when it’s not there.

What color do you see?
After looking into the parrot’s eyes for 15 seconds, the image will turn black and white, but our eyes will see differently.
By an eye trick, the blue parts of the image appear pink and the pink parts of the image appear blue.
This is because an optical illusion is an example of a negative afterimage, which causes the color you see to be inverted or inverted from the original.
Afterimage is a type of optical illusion in which images continue to appear even after exposure to the original image ends.
You’ve probably experienced this before if you’ve been looking at something for a long time and can still see it even after looking away.
There are two main types of afterimage: positive and negative.
Positive afterimages are when you can still see the same color you originally looked at, even after the stimulus has worn off; this could be because the light went out or because you closed your eyes.
You can still see the image in its original colors because some cells in the retina continue to send signals to the brain for some time after they have been stimulated.
In a negative afterimage, the color you see may be upside down or inverted from the original image. Just like the parrot pictured above.
You may see an image with colors inverted from the original image. This is because the rods and cones, which are part of the retina, become overstimulated and desensitized.
So what colors did you see?
