Apparently our brains interpret color by comparing them with their surroundings. The trick of this illusion is the orange lines cut through the green spirals but not through the blue spirals. It looks as if the orange lines cut through the blue spirals but they do not, those are pink lines cutting through blue, and this forces our brains to reinterpret both colors.
