Do you see circles of different colours?
In the image below, it looks like you're seeing a multitude of circles with a blue circle on the left and a green circle on the right. In reality, the two circles in the centre are the same colour! You can check this by downloading the original file and comparing the colours with a photo editing software.

What do you see in this picture?
The image below can be interpreted in different ways. You can see a female figure or a face. According to the YouTube channel Bright Side, the first thing you see in this image could say a lot about your personality. Those who see a woman first would have 'keen observation skills', while those who see the face would tend to be 'extroverted'.
