Red is complimentary to cyan.

If the cyan were switched with yellow, the can would appear blue.

Also, it's not our brains creating the red, it's our eyes. They get exhausted of seeing the cyan and replace it with red.

Strange, I see the OP picture as red, but this one as black & white.

He's right.

You guys never cease to amaze me.

Huh, it shows up as black to me.

It depends on the size you are viewing it at. This works well on small screens but less well on large screens

Let's hope it's the size of the image and not the responding user's revelation they are red green deficient lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

so it would appear red even if it was another can?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

yes, obviously

It's curious that the thumbnail actually has red values for those pixels, making me think they're cheating a bit with jpeg compression effects.
