There is no illusion, photo is actually color.
You mean stripes which sometimes cover 100% of the area?There is no illusion, photo is actually color.
It's really not.
If you zoom in, you can see that there's a grid of coloured lines, and the picture beneath them is greyscale monochrome.

It's a neat effect. Although some of the lines are sharp and narrow, and others are wide and fuzzy. Make lines wide and fuzzy enough and they eventually merge to be a continuous field of color.
I'm curious about the logos on the green shirts and white shirts. They appear to be solid color, but are too small to be cross-hatched, unless the artist used extremely small cross-hatched lines on them.
It's unmistakably a color photo. Loath as I am to agree with Barbaros, just zoom in:

It works, but only because something is wrong with your particular brain which prevents you from realization that they lied and the photo is actually color and there is absolutely no illusion whatsoever.I zoomed in and saw different shades of gray shirts.It's unmistakably a color photo.

Now what I wonder is if this works with any arbitrary color or whether there is connection of some portion of the shade of gray to the source color.
I tried to reproduce the illusion with simple grey circles and lines with no colour bleed, but it doesn't seem to work. Scale doesn't seem to matter much, either. The illusion kinda works with the green and orange lines, but only if I make the circles (and grid) small.
With and without grey background:
Maybe it only works with photos where the brain has already learned how to fill in detail, or maybe there is no illusion unless you cheat by using blurry lines to colourise a greater area.
For fuck's sake, I posted pixel RGB content, it's not black and white photo, Even hair is not black.The coloured lines are not as sharp as they could be, but it is a black and white photo.
