I really like this illusion. There are no red pixels in the image. Zoom in—the section where the coke can is contains only black and white, and around it is cyan. Color perception is shaped by consciousness.

Red is the opposite color to green. The black stripes make the brain think that the missing color is formed by the same rules as around the jar, and tonal contrast is replaced by color, thus creating the red color.

It’s hard to understand, but this image illustrates it perfectly!
