Subjective Contours
(Illusion - figure / ground))

Subjective Contours allows the visitor to see contours that, in reality, are not there. Two subjective triangles, one that looks whiter than white and the other that looks blacker than black, appear to have distinctive contours. When they are examined closely, they disappear.
