WRONG
The ORIGINAL picture was "black and white", but the artist did add a "coresponding colour" to each part of the picture, meaning that if you removed the picture from the grid, that grid would still contain all the colours. By adding a "coresponding colour to the area" your brain just averages the colour and adds a bit of satiration. There is no illusion, just your brain enhancing the colour that IS THERE.

I also have to remove a TON of credibility thanks to compression, that spreads the colored pixels to take more then half of the total pixel count.

@Ricotta
To prove my point, I made a video of me pointing at random pixels in photoshop.

If the pixel is a "grayscale pixel", it will have the same value all R G and B. But, when I hover over the pixels, you can see that this rule applies for almonst none of them.

In other words, this is not a "grayscale picture", this is a picture with some grayscale point is it.
