Slight color blindness?

Question

Hey guys i was checking out this optical illusion with my friend. The picture was supposed to appear as if it were spinning but i saw none of that. I was explaining to him what i saw, and he pointed out that there was color in the picture. Which i did not see, just black and white until i took a closer look. Now when i look at the picture i can see color for just a split second and then it goes black and white again. Whats going on?

Whoa, dude!  I see nothing but green, blue and yellow, with a little black and white. For me, the optical allusion is with shapes, not colors.

How long since you had your eyes checked?  Many people, especially men, are color blind, but they can't tell the difference between green and brown.

I don't think you have anything to worry about, but I would highly recommend seeing an optometrist. You can also ask this question again in the "optical" sub-category, which is also under "health."

Bless you and good luck!  :)
