It took me a while to wrap my head around this illusion. What's going on here is that square B, which your mind perceives as belonging to the same color of the squares diagonal to it, is "naturally" darkened by the shadow of the cylinder. To compensate for the shadow, it appears that A and B are different colors (because in the real world, they would be if the cylinder weren't there)
