Look at the Red Dot for 10 seconds, then immediately look to the right at the same spot. Download is better.

For those not seeing it, try staring at the dot area for 30+ seconds.
Then immediately look at the dot area in the other image,
not at anything else first.

The red arrow is actually pointing to a red dot.

LOL! I did this while eating a sandwich. When I looked down, the bread was displaying some rather unappetizing cyan splotches!

You're not seeing an afterimage containing different colors? Only lasts a few moments.
One has to look at the original image, staring at one spot without moving one's eyes, for a while, then look at the same spot in the other image quickly.

It's the same effect that happens if someone takes your picture with a flash and you see a little colored (usually blue) square floating in space for a short while. It's retinal retention.

I can’t remember why but you see complementary colors of the left hand image in the right hand image.
