@freemo Colors, plural I'd think. Probably both the same mix of yellow and blue. Visual fuckery created by the differing background colors.

I like that one with the chessboard, where 2 greyish pieces are actually the same color even though they look so different due to the different positions in teh shadowrealm.

@freemo its how bright the things around them are.

@Co its a bit more than that since blue and yellow are different colors and dnt just differ in brightness. But the effect is very analogous.

@freemo sorry phone is in b&w rn lol it showed either dark or white.

@freemo

Both have exactly the same pattern also.

@Pat sort of, they are both randomized by the same parameters. But being random they differ on a pizel by pixel basis

@freemo

Actually, they are pixel by pixel the same. (my almost autistic pattern matching at work again)

@freemo

I just fed the bit pattern into a .WAV file and when I play it backwards it says, "I buried Paul..."

@zleap @freemo

If you're under about 55 years old, you won't that joke.

@freemo @zleap

Young Beatles fans might get it.

I don't watch horror films so I don't get that reference.

@Pat @freemo

Yes as that goes with the idea that Paul is dead thing, hence how they are dressed on Abbey road, (and that Paul is holding cigarette in right hand)

@Pat @freemo

Ah, that could explain it, I ahve watched A hard days night and still don't really understand what 100 guineas means, i know 1 guineas is 1 pound 5 shillings.

I am not even sure that is spelt right.

@zleap

The guinea hasnt existed since 1971. I'm pretty sure no one ever understood the old English monetary system.

@Pat

@freemo @Pat

It is from the casino scene where Norm gets teh bill, reads out 100 pounds and the guy from the casino says Guineas

@freemo @Pat

I got confused a while back trying to mark the american footballl field out for training, need to put markers 10 yards part, tape measure in feet and inches, thankfully I got help 30 feet = 10 yards, once I knew that it is easy.

@freemo @zleap

>"The guinea hasnt existed since 1971. I'm pretty sure no one ever understood the old English monetary system."

They just do that so taxi drivers can rip off the tourists.

@Pat after zooming in i find they do appear mostly identical, except there are a few small anomalies where they seem to differ by a pixel or two oddly enough.

@freemo

Actually, the pixels in the area within the squares are the same, it's the background pixels in the blown-up image that are different. It looks like whoever made this graphic just copied and pasted the same square pattern in the two different locations over the background.

@freemo
Throw this at the next person who says "I don't see color"
