Technically false. Digital images are made up of pixels like this:

which reproduce colors by adjusting the intensity of the red, green and blue light in each pixel. If nothing else, every white pixel in the image contains a full-brightness red segment.

Some of that white is not as white as the others. There's definitely a reddish tone of you zoom in.

I find that reddish tint foes away if I zoom in and block out the teal parts

Yeah probably jpeg compression muddying it up. That combined with another comment about white pixels containing red makes me think that this illusion was intended to be printed out.

It's just less teal spots, not much redder, especially not as .uch as perceived

First two are from the centre, the last is not

I see a faint red briefly, then it goes away.

I don’t see blue. I see an aqua green color.

Is my brain broken? Why do I not see any red? Should I be?

[–] Skasi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

For me it's only there when I don't focus.

[–] HorreC@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

maybe because I am color blind, but I am only seeing the blue and some white.

This is a lesson white balance.
