Dean Jackson shared the illusion with his TikTok account in a video, which has been viewed more than 25 million times.

“When you are here for the first time, you see a black and white photo of a bridge,” Jackson said at the beginning of the video.
“When you come back for the second time, you will hopefully see it in color.”
Jackson goes on to explain the illusion and how, by staring at a circle in the center of the photo, your eyes can see color even when it is not there.
“Whatever you do, keep looking right at the center of that circle,” he says.
I stressed the importance of continuing to watch the circle, even when the video goes back to the beginning.
“If your eyes move, the color is lost,” he says.
The colors on the screen shift as viewers stare at the circle.
Jackson explains the reason for this change, saying, “the psychedelic colors you are currently seeing are designed to tire some of the receptors in the retina at the back of your eye.”
“When I remove them [the colors]only those needed to color the picture need to be stimulated, ”Jackson continues.
The video then runs back to the beginning and lets viewers test the illusion.
“Surprisingly, saw a lot of vibrant colors,” one TikToker commented on the video.
“Woahhh, I did not expect the color to be so vibrant,” wrote another person.
“AHHHH amazing !! Just saw it for a fraction of a second, but it was In full color !,” someone else wrote.
“I honestly thought it was a different photo when the vid started up again,” said another.
