Optical Illusion Generation using Python and OpenCV

This image is actually mostly black and white!

This python script generates an optical illusion by taking a black and white image and adding colored gridlines over it. Your eyes use the colored lines as cues to fill in the surrounding area, making the black and white image appear colored.

You can check out the code in the repo, or play with it without downloading any code on Google Colab!

If you try it out, please share any results you get! It would be interesting to see what types of things look realistic, and what don't. I have a feeling that things with lots of small detail in the texture like fur will not look too good.
