Mind-blowing illusion tricks you into seeing colour in black and white snap

A jaw-dropping optical illusion tricks you into seeing colour.

Dean Jackson – AKA beatonthebeeb on TikTok – highlighted how your brain can add vibrancy to a black and white image.

He started off by sharing a colourless picture of a bridge – but then, he shows a version of the image that's comprised of psychedelic colours.

He asked followers to stare at the white dot in the centre of the photo – and tells them not to lose focus.

Dean urged: "Whatever you do, keep looking right at the centre of that circle.

"Keep your phone at a constant distance. Keep your eyes focussed. Don't be distracted.

"If your eyes moves then the colour will be lost."

By following these instructions, the optical illusion should work.

When you return to the black and white image, your eyes are hoodwinked into seeing the bridge scene in colour.

So how do your eyes play tricks on you?

The illusion expert explained: "The psychedelic colours are designed to fatigue receptors in the back of your eyes.

"When I remove them, the only the ones needed to colour the picture should be stimulated."

Dean's video has been liked more than 2.6 million times – and many said it had been a success.

One commenter said: "It worked until I moved my eyes from the dot to really look at the picture. So amazing!"

Another wrote: "It actually worked! I saw every colour, I could even blink without losing the colour, it was only when I moved my eyes that I lost the colour."

A third remarked: "Omg it was full colour! It shocked me so much I blinked an lost it."

And a fourth added: "This worked, threw me off at how vibrant the colours are."
