I've seen that before, and it and things like it never cease to amaze me.
One of my favorite illusions was at the SF Exploratorium a few years back. They show you a gray spot, and you think "yeah, that's gray". Then they show you another one which is a tad lighter, and you say "oh, THAT one is gray, and the other one is dark gray."
By the time you see the lightest, the one you saw at the beginning looks *black*. It's the weirdest thing.
