What color are these strawberries ? Image Credit: Twitter / Akiyoshi Kitaoka Originally posted on Twitter by experimental psychologist Professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka, the photograph shows a plate of the popular summer fruits with a bluish color filter applied.

The question that has been puzzling the Internet is - what color are the strawberries ? At a casual glance they do appear to have a reddish tinge - but is this really the case ?The answer, according to Kitaoka, is that the entire picture is actually made up of blue-green pixels, meaning that the reddish appearance of the strawberries is nothing but an optical illusion.
