I use a freeware color-identifier called "Pixie" ( http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.php ), and it shows a considerable color gradient in the green & blue regions: not the same. I think in converting this image to a JPG it is changed. I admire Akiyoshi's work, but we may have a problem here.

Comparing the greenish-region w the bluish region with "Pixie" ( http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.php ), they are indeed very close (RGB (1,255,158) vs RGB(0,247,153)): I suspect the JPG-gradient introduces some *actual* difference, though most of the perceived-difference is illusory.pic.twitter.com/OS5vwzacHX

Twitter's image compression inherently ruins this illusion by heavily aliasing the colours. This is a solid-colour version of the image which will hopefully confirm the reality of the effect: http://www.psy.ritsumei.ac.jp/~akitaoka/Monspiral.gif …

Unfortunately, after image compression from Twitter, the colors aren't the same at all. However, if the image was "clean", without the compression artifacts, it would work!

There's input signal and processing. Illusion should refer to a quirk of processing. Eg inputs are identical but processing results in changing perception. Here, at least as the picture is reproduced on my phone, the inputs really seem different
