If You Think These Tablets Are Grey, Your Eyes Could Be Playing Tricks On You

First it was ‘The Dress’. Was it blue and black or white and gold? One thing we do know is that it was the most insanely annoying debate that raged on. Why people were seeing it as different colours – and adamantly so – seems to come down to how your brain interprets the light coming into your eyes. The hype surrounding the controversial garment may have finally died down, but now there’s a new optical illusion dividing the masses. A new poster advertising two hands holding two pills has come to light - and people are perplexed. While some of us see the two tablets as grey, others see one red and one blue tablet in the palm of each hand. It seems there’s some mixed debate on the issue, with the picture now doing the rounds online:

We’re still debating it at the table, but so far there’s a grey and red… we have yet to spot the blue.
