The ultimate color illusion game! How well do you actually see color? Are the two color bars the Same or are they Different? To play, just choose "same" or "different". "Color is relative," said Albers. The answer is fun, quick, simple and astounding! Break your own personal record, compare to your friends on Facebook (only if you want to). SameSameOrDifferent asks you the question: "Are the Swatches the Same Color or Different?" You'll be stunned as after image and the relativity of color make it nearly impossible to tell what a color is when it's on a strong background. This little game takes the sweeping fascination in color perception and applies the art composition made classic by famous artist Josef Albers.
