Wrong Jobs

i was looking at optical illusions and found these, i saw pictures like these before but they were trucks!! These are some old (but still clever) ads for a European job search site, with the tag line: "Life's too short for the wrong job." lol :)

When you first look at this, how many colours do you see? Some might say they see 3 or even 4 colours, but there are 2 - red and green! People usually think they see 2 shades of red, but there is only 1. Look closely and you will notice on one side that white boxes surround the red boxes, and on the other side, green boxes do! Due to the placement of these boxes you get the "illusion" of different colours. Since white is not considered to be a colour (it is the presence of all colours in scientific terms) we can safely say that there are 2 colours present here!
