Coloured Castle Effect
In the following video, you'll be asked to stare at the black dot in the center of a photo of a castle. If you keep staring at the dot after the false color image has gone away, and the black-and-white photo returns, you'll be surprised to see the castle in full color (even though it isn't)!

The Coloured Castle effect is an excellent example of an optical illusion. In this illusion, two stimuli are used, labeled A and B. Here are a couple of interesting diversions that dramatically illustrate the degree to which color perception is controlled by the effect of previous or adjacent colors.
The first, Big Spanish Castle, is a simple, but dramatic and fun, color-based optical illusion. Based on the visual effects of complementary colors and the optical/brain phenomenon known as an afterimage, the illusion is.
