I can't copy and test the flash based example to test whether or not they are physically changing the colors, but I would just about garauntee they are. If you could get unedited video in which the same basic effect is occuring then you would have nothing more than the first part of this post. It is not a matter of how your brain perceives the color because of surrounding colors, but a matter of what wavelength is being transmitted through the filter.
Sorry cewes, I think you're kidding yourself. Make a small hole in a piece of paper and hold it up to each central area in turn. Then you see that they're both grey.

Here's another one that's more dramatic.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
