its a light trick
take two of the same shade of grey and surround one by a darker hue and the other by a lighter hue and the two that were the same will appear different.

thats all he's doing

i covered everything around them by a piece of paper and ripped a little hole in the paper where both checkers are and the colour looks the same.

Been there, done it, seen it, took the picture, put it in the album, wrote a caption, and threw it under the bed.

I bought a book about optical illusions and this one is in there. It's pretty cool and yes they are both the same.
