Don’t move your eyes or blink once you see the colour and it stays like that for ages!
Here’s how it works. In the first image the colors (more precisely the hues) are opposite to the full colour image, but the brightness is constant over the entire image.
When you stare at the bright screen with this image for so long, your eyes literally get tired, and so all the colour receptors that pick up the blues and oranges get tired, and just don’t see anymore for a little while. When you go over it and it goes black and white, well, white light is really just the entire spectrum, it’s every single colour coming at you all at once. But your eyes are tired of the blues and oranges, so it doesn’t see them! You’re now left with the colours in white light that your eyes “want” to pick up – the real colors of the picture that weren’t desensitized.
