@pikario @bit101 Confirms my thought that the illusion is due to yellow being a lighter color than blue.

    @sibrosan@mastodon.social @pikario@mastodon.gamedev.place @bit101@mstdn.social My eyes say it's probably due to contrast with the background, rather than the specific colors of the boxes, because if I focus on the yellow box while tracking it, the illusion mostly breaks. And if I cover the blue one with one hand, the false stuttering is less "impressive", but very much still there. If you picked a different shade for the blue one that blends with the black bars instead of having good contrast with both, while keeping the yellow one as-is, I suspect it would either "double" the effect so both look stuttery, or produce something similar to just the yellow one alone, where the effect is somewhat weaker.
