Uh... maybe the letters are, but the blocks look like two different shades of gray to me. What's up? Is it that they're both gray?

Whats really crazy, is that even after seeing the solution and understanding that both A & B are the same color, when one goes back to the original, its impossible for the mind to 'see' the same shade of grey in the A & B squares.

Interesting paradox, we knows its wrong, yet we can't see it right...

Try saving the image to edit and cutting out a piece of B and dragging it over A. You'll see the shade of gray change gradually. Trippy.

Probably because the human brain sees the pattern before the color. Because once you destroy the pattern, you will see the same color.
