Have you ever seen something that caused you to do a double-take? If so, youโre not alone. This happens a lot, especially when it has to do with something that looks strangely like its background. In one way, this phenomenon is somewhat eerie but in another way, itโs interesting and cool. These 39 images are perfect examples.
1. Strange bananas
Has anyone seen the canary? Nopeโฆjust a strange bunch of bananas. Oh wait, there he isโฆhe thinks heโs a fruit.

2. Same designer?
You certainly have to wonder. After all, what are the chances of this guyโs tennis shoes matching the gym floor perfectly? Like zero.

3. The bodiless woman
Well, at least thatโs what this looks like. But upon closer inspection, you can see thatโs not the case. Instead, the color of her pants is identical to the ocean water while her top blends in with the sky.

4. A floating orb
At first glance, thatโs what this looks like. All you see is a white orb that appears to be floating in the air. But just below it, youโll notice a coffee cup thatโs the same colors as both the table and the credenza.

5. Wallflower
Perhaps whoever coined the phrase โwallflowerโ had this woman in mind. After all, sheโs wearing a flowery print. And, sheโs almost invisible.

6. That looks dangerous
Seriously, how is someone supposed to jump on a trampoline without the center? Oh wait, you mean itโs just a reflection of the fence? Got it. Still, be careful.

7. Sleepy headโฆ
โฆliterally, well, sort of. We wonder what happened to this guyโs body. Come to find out, his pajamas are the same as the sheets. Mustโve been a two-for-one sale.

8. She stayed home
Thatโs what people thought when they couldnโt find this individual at work. She blended in so well with the floor that no one noticed her. We have just one questionโฆwhy would anyone wear tights like that? Just curious.

9. To each their own
The funny thing isโฆthis was purely happenstance. The owner explained that each dog had a preference. And it so happened they wanted a background that matched their fur color.

10. The half bowl
Thatโs an awesome trick. Eating food out of a half bowl without spilling a single bite. You have to wonder which came firstโฆthe shirt or the bowl.

11. Here kitty, kitty
Where did the darn cat go? The owners stated their kitty just seemed to disappear. And he didโฆsort of. He just wanted to play a game of โhide and seek.โ Thatโs amazing.

12. Lumpy carpet
Why in the world would anyone choose a carpet with a big lump in it. Unless it wasnโt a lump at all. You have to admit, this is cool considering both the color and texture of the pupโs fur match the carpeting so well.

13. Oceanview
We have no idea if this was planned or not. But it doesnโt really matter. Either way, this is certainly impressive.

14. Whatโs she doing?
Initially, it looks as though this girl is trying to show her mom something on her shirt. But look closely. Thatโs the dinner plate at a restaurant they visited.

15. Packed and ready to go
Just one problem. Thereโs a passenger missing. Donโt worry, they found him in the back of the vehicle along with the coordinating bags.

16. See Spot hide
You know, if it werenโt for the black ears and nose, along with the bright red collar, itโd be hard to spot (no pun intended) this dog. He blends in quite nicely. For peace of mind, weโd recommend his owner keep the collar on every time they visit the beach.

17. Never-ending obelisk
Although itโs common for an obelisk to be tall, this one at a Prague Castle seems to go on forever. Made of concrete, it begins to look like the sky. Thatโs awesome.

18. Donโt drop it
People always misplace their phones. For that reason, it doesnโt make a lot of sense why someone would choose this for their cover. Hereโs a suggestionโฆdownload one of those โwhereโs my phoneโ apps. It could come in handy.

19. Pocket or patch?
Do you think this is a pocket on a shirt? Or perhaps a patch on a fabric-covered piece of furniture? Well, itโs neither. This is actually a wallet thatโs identical to a car seat.

Reddit/catsnstuftz
20. Poor guy
You have to wonder how this man can cook such amazing food without having a brain. Look, the entire top of his head is missing. Never mindโฆitโs just that his chef hat blends in with the sky. Whew.

Reddit/BunnyAdorbs
21. Feeling disappointed
This person opened a package of Pop Tarts only to find a little bit of the crust. Thatโs just not fair. Umโฆwe take that back. Itโs all there, which is hard to see because the frosting matches the plate.


Source:
Reddit/YoungO
22. Twins
Unbelievable. This manโs socks are identical to the carpet. Maybe he made the socks out of a remnant. Okay, probably not.

Reddit/integral-e-to-the-x
23. Do you see it?
Letโs just say that people need to be careful where they step. Itโs hard to see, but thereโs something on the rug. Yep, itโs a kitty.

24. One of these is edible
Did you figure it out? Thatโs right, the tortilla looks like the countertop. We donโt know about you, but somehow, this burrito just became a little less appetizing.

Reddit/tetherbooks
25. A dog with no legs
Okay, she has legs. But theyโre hard to see against the ground. Thatโs a pretty amazing match.

26. Camouflage 101
Men and women in the army wear a lot of camouflage clothes. Theyโre also taught about covert operations. Apparently, the military rule applies to picking out furniture as well because you canโt even see this guy.

27. Split down the middle
Hereโs another interesting pair of leggings. In this case, one side is solid brown and the other side has speckles. Thatโs a good thing. Otherwise, they wouldnโt blend in with the floor.

28. Sheโs trying to hide
And she chose a pretty good place. If it werenโt for her head, arms, and feet, she mightโve succeeded. Good try, though.

Reddit/flossingpancakemix
29. Quite deceptive
At first glance, it appears as though this woman pushed her toes into the gravel. But she didnโt do that because it would hurt. Instead, this is kind of an illusion thanks to shoes that look like gravel.

Reddit/adognamedwalter
30. Whoโs that?
How funny. Hereโs a silhouette of a person walking behind this lady. But itโs nothing more than the bun on her head. It so happens the hair fell in the right way to create this illusion.

31. Grandma went shopping
Thereโs no question that grandmas are the best. They love to spoil their grandchildren, which means buying them just about anything they want. But sometimes, they go a little too far. Case in pointโฆgetting her grandkids shirts and pants that match her sofa.

Reddit/fenix547
32. Damaged countertop
It seems someone put something on the kitchen countertop that damaged it. No, thatโs not it at all. Amazingly, this is a block of cheese with the same coloring. Hopefully, they donโt plan to serve this to guests.

Reddit/Jester6641
33. Where did they go?
This man has invisible ankles. His legs and shoes are there but the ankles are nowhere in sight. Thank goodness, itโs nothing more than him wearing socks that match the floor of the train.

34. Beautiful nature
When on a nature walk, you have the opportunity to see so many incredible things. But you have to pay close attention to your surroundings. If not, you could miss something like thisโฆan owl that blends in with a tree.

35. A dog rug
Youโve heard of a bear rug. Well, hereโs a dog rug. But thereโs one big difference between the twoโฆthis pup is alive. Sorry, bear.

36. He looks embarrassed
And who can blame him? Itโd be horrible to find out youโre wearing a shirt that matches wallpaper. Really ugly wallpaper at that.

37. The missing hiker
Or it looks like part of him is. Actually, heโs all there. But because his jacket perfectly matches the snow in the background, it makes it appear that part of body is gone.

Imgur/emmiwinks
38. Maybe too clean
If you donโt believe thereโs a car in this photo, look for the tires. This guy went a little overboard waxing it. He made his car so shiny that it almost disappeared. What you see is a reflection of the surroundings.

Reddit/Goffrey
39. RSVP seating
How nice. Whoever organized this convention went to the trouble of giving this man a seat identical to his shirt. Cancel that. All the seats look the same. So, itโs just happenstance.
