If you follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color; pink.
However if you stare at the black "+ in the center, the moving dots turn to green.

 

Now, concentrate on the black "+" in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots slowly disappear, and all you see is a single green dot rotating.

 

There really is no green dot, and the pink dots don't really disappear.

 

Hmmm? We know things aren't always black & white. Are they always pink or green?

Begin by focusing on the point in the middle of the picture. Slowly, move away from and back toward the picture.
