If you are unable to see that the colors of the **squares A and B are identical** in the right side, that's fine, it's our brain playing tricks on us to **pay more attention to light and dark than color**. There is a connector, with the same color, in the left side so we (our brain) can easily spot that in fact they're the same color.

> The [eye is a complex organ](http://www.biologymad.com/nervoussystem/eyenotes.htm), it is composed by many parts but we are mostly interested in the cones and rods cells. The eye [contains about 120 million rod cells and 6 million cone cells](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoreceptor_cell).

> We will abuse of an **oversimplification**, let's try to put colors and brightness in the eye's parts function. The **[rod cells](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_cell) are mostly responsible for brightness** while the **[cone cells](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_cell) are responsible for color**, there are three types of cones, each with different pigment, namely: [S-cones (Blue), M-cones (Green) and L-cones (Red)](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Cones_SMJ2_E.svg).

|
||||
> Since we have much more rod cells (brightness) than cone cells (color), one can infer that we are more capable of distinguish dark and light than colors.

Once we know that we're more sensible to **luma** (the brightness in an image) we can try to exploit it.
