In this adaptation of the confetti #illusion, the background waves appear to be orange, (almost) white, yellow, and pink, but all four background waves are identical.

In this Munker #illusion, the backround spheres appear to be green and blue but are actually the same color. This illusion is particularly surprising because the foreground stripes are near opposites of green and blue.

In this assimilation #illusion, the circles appear yellow and orange, but the background of the all the circles is the same color.
