New colors without shooting lasers into your eyes


Can optical illusions take you outside the human color gamut?

It’s plagiarized based on Skytopia’s Eclipse of Titan optical illusion (h/t Steve Alexander), which dates back to at least 2010. Also, it’s not clear how far that gamut should reach into the lower-left and lower-right corners, since wavelengths outside 400-700 nm still stimulate cells a tiny bit. In principle, these types of illusions might help selectively activate them, but I have no idea if that will lead to stronger color perception.
