Fun stuff to try
In this image, the horizontal bar in the middle of the picture is one solid colour. However, the changing gradient behind the bar makes it seem like the colour of the bar itself is changing as it goes from left to right.
This may seem like a flaw in humans' abilities of perception (the inability to look at an object without being influenced by the background), but it could also be seen as a positive trait (being able to look at the "big picture").
This trick shows that people tend to make assumptions based on surroundings rather than looking only at a singular object.
As a language learner this is an important because how you say things and what you surround your words with will create the images in the minds of others.
