Check the picture above for yourself with an image editing program - both the green and blue stripes are EXACTLY the same color!

True. If you hold your first two fingers over one the edges, where the strips are larger.
Then slowly bring them together, till theres just a small crack. You will see the clolours slowly match up.
Works better with one eye closed.

Look behind you...on your left...thats the real world.

I'm following the stripes, and the blue ones seem to turn green, but the green ones don't change colours.

That is so weird. Very hard to believe but the same colours they are.

Wow it's going to take some time for my poor eyes to recover from this experiment! I wonder if this is an optical illsuion that can only be cracked by some people? Despite having tried Hackmonkey's instructions I couldn't see any color change at all!
