White’s Illusion: Stripes Shift Apparent Lightness

Sign in to see author· 3h ago

Curated archive entry based on published research. Identical gray patches embedded in alternating dark and light bars can appear to have different lightness depending on which bar they occupy. This describes a documented perceptual effect under the cited conditions, not an independent personal report or evidence that the underlying physical measurements changed.
