Image Benham's Disc - What Color Do You See?

Recommended Posts

Just saw this cool thing on Tumblr, basically it's a .gif recreation of a phenomenon known as Benham's Top (or Benham's Disc). It's a pattern that, when spun, generates arcs of color on the disc. However, the cool thing is that there's a massive variation on who sees what color, so it's likely that two different people will not see the same colors.

The .gif is a bit seizure inducing, so I'm putting it in the spoiler tag. I see alternating arcs of black and gold. What colors do you see?

I see the circle spinning to the right, with black and white walls flashing around, with slight grey, brown and a tiny bit of green arcs in the white spaces.

Gold, Black, and White.Funny thing is, when Screecapping, it only shows Black and White.

That's what makes it so cool! When it's motionless it's just a black and white pattern, but something about how our eyes perceive the motion causes the illusion of color,. The thing is that different people can see different colors, kinda like how two people can't see the same rainbow.
