I'm so glad my eyes and brain are actually able to perceive an object as it truly is.
Some peoples brains are fooled so easily. To the point they have to depend on a computer to give them an answer.

Not sure if anyone has posted a plausible explanation but reddit has what seems to be a believable one.

Hi! me and some other grad students have been discussing this for the last half hour. It's likely due to some kind of colour constancy illusion, where some people are perceiving the context to be something like "lit by blueish daylight" and others are perceiving it to be something like "under yellow department store lights." In the former case, your brain will try and get the objective (if such a thing can be said) colour by subtracting out the blue as a shadow, and in the latter case it will do the same thing for the filigree by subtracting out the yellow as a reflection. This is a common illusion in psych : See here. but it's not seen that often 'in the wild,' even though your brain does this constantly.
