I always figured that square A and B were a medium shade of gray but that the light squares around A make it appear darker and the dark squares around B make it appear lighter.

What if it is? What if there is no real choice? What then? The only way live soundly then would be living without questioning, believing that we have a choice. The very thought of questioning then would be absurd. I know how does this make you feel, thinking that whatever you choose you are made to choose, whatever you do is what you were destined for. You would like to prove to yourself that you free by counter acting the inner doubt. You like prove it is wrong, but you know the harder you try the stronger you doubt. You feel paranoid, helpless, and completely trapped … you struggle to get yourself free, but the struggle is all that it takes to keep you there. Is this normal? Would anyone be able live with such burdensome doubt in the mind? Or, is this not illogical that a perfectly structured life, as if it is, has such absurdities for the mind in its making? You cannot find a way out of this ‘dilemma of choice', as the only tool of your escape, your reasonable choice, you have given up to doubt, to digging into the thought deeper still. I believe even if everything is pre-planned, there still is at least one thing that is free, thinking and casting doubt, your mind. You are the real choice yourself in a world where everything else could just be an illusion. The reason of believing in yourself is that self-belief saves you from the pit falls of your mind. There is nothing aside that can be known better, aside yourself, the ultimate of which in my view is the belief in God.

Well... you now have company. Hope that's of some comfort to you.
I took a second look and the LETTER A and B are actually the same not the shade of the SQUARE but the LETTERS... so I take back my initial response... lol

Yes i agree but not a 100% , because ' B ' is shaded by the green shape, so you say its black like ' A ' but not the same degree of black , that's my opinion!

there is nothing to explain, it's very clear that A is not the same color as B but it's only to drive you crazy as in crazy illusion!!!!!!!!
