not sure if this should have gone in graphics help or what, so i decided to just stick it here until somebody knows where it goes. but anyway.

what do you see?:

Woah that's trippy. The colors move when I look at a different area, if that makes sense. But yeah I see black & gray like everyone else said. What are you using this for, Becka?

again, just wanted to know if people could actually see a difference, because i get a lot of contrast complaints. i'm redesigning my site and there are a few parts that need to be noticeably lighter, or else i think the whole effect is ruined. if you want to see the colors on the actual page: http://rockitstudios.890m.com/v3/index.html it's just a rough draft, and the images at the top don't work. it's slowly becoming awesomer.

Black and sort of a charcoal grey at the bottom. There seems to be a very subtle break of a slightly lighter grey between the two. I could be imagining it though.

it's just how your eyes perceive color. a grey color looks lighter than normal when paired against black, and darker than normal when paired against white, so in the image i posted, your eyes almost see a gradient because there's a dark color touching it and a light color touching it.
