Lilac chaser is a visual illusion that consists of 12 lilac (or pink or magenta-like), blurred disks arranged in a circle (like the numbers on a clock), around a small, black, central cross on a grey background. One of the disks disappears briefly (for about 0.1 second), then the next (about 0.125 second later), and the next, and so on, in a clockwise direction. When one stares at the cross for about 20 seconds or so, one first sees a gap running around the circle of lilac disks, then a green disk running around the circle of lilac disks, then a green disk running around on the grey background, the lilac disks having disappeared.
There are illusions like this around the internet, but this is the only one where you can play around with the colors. Enjoy!

Turn it to color #9933CC then the light purple main dots will disappear into the background also. giving just a greenish dot circling.
