Similarly, when we look at a scene, our visual nerves register color in terms of the attributes of color: the amount of green-or-red; the amount of blue-or-yellow; and the brightness. To see how colors are registered in terms of the attributes of color, point at the painting by Renoir below. Note that these attributes are opposites, like hot and cold.

The whole concept of an illusion is predicated on a misconception. Illusions are useful as a research tool because they tell us how the brain works, that the brain evolved NOT to see the retinal image (which is made up of meaningless, or ambiguous, patterns of light) – i.e. not the world ‘as it is’ – but to see the world in a way that proved useful in the past.
