    When the blue bus lies on the white stripes, the contrast is high (dark blue vs. white) and easily visible, so it appears to move faster than its actual speed. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] On the contrary, when the blue bus is against the black stripes, the contrast is low (dark blue vs. black) and harder to see, so the movement looks slower (see figs. 1 ...

After the disappearance of the colored background, an afterimage of the background is induced. This induced color has a complementary color to that of the original background.
