Idon't really get it. Stare at an inverted picture, then move your mouse over it to get the right colors. Uhm. Okay.

No. You stare at the dot for thirty second
And while keeping your eyes on the dot you hover over the image.
The image looks like its in color, but really its black and white.

It's called the negative after-image effect

Every color in the rainbow has an opposite color, in which you mix them together you get gray. When you stare at something colorful for several seconds your retinas makes adjustments as a result. In this case you were staring at a picture with the colors inverted. As a result of staring at a gray background afterwards, it caused you to see the inverse of the inverted color scheme which is the original color scheme.

Ok do this. Stare at the dot for 30 seconds and then, without moving your eyes even a little bit, gradually move the mouse towards the image. For a quick 2 seconds or so the image will look like its in full color; blue sky and everything but quicky it will turn gray again.

You don't have to stare at the dot, just roll over the image, and it replaces the discolored image, or whatever, with a colored image...

No, not really. It really is an optical illusion. Only two images. One which is an invert and the other which is a gray scale image.
