There Is No Red In This Picture Optical Illusion
Text content
There is no red in this picture; your brain is filling in the red color. The picture is made entirely of light blue, black, and white.
Overview
This image is a viral interactive optical illusion trick. At the top, text explains that there is no actual red color present in the image, and that the viewer's brain automatically fills in the expected red color to complete the shape. The image consists only of light blue (cyan), black, and white pixels arranged in a noisy textured background that forms the distinct outline of a common red question mark emoji, playing on the human brain's tendency to complete familiar shapes and assign their typical, expected color. Most viewers will perceive a red question mark even though no actual red pixels exist in the image.
