QUESTION: In this color interaction example, the small center squares are physically the same color, but they appear as two different colors when interacting with the surrounding colors. What is causing this optical illusion? Select the two correct answers below.

The center square on the right has a dull yellow hue. This is caused by the saturated violet that surrounds it. The center square is showing the subtle afterimage of the violet complement, which is yellow.

The center square on the left has a red-violet hue. This is caused by the muted yellow-green that surrounds it. The center square is showing the subtle afterimage of the yellow-green complement, which is red-violet.

The center square on the left appears lighter in value than the center square on the right. This is because the muted yellow-green on the left is considerably darker in value than the saturated violet on the right.
