The image was made by iCompario, which stated: "Although it looks like there are a variety of different coloured fuel pumps, surprisingly there are only five different colours, each row is exactly the same.
"The colour of the fuel pumps is perceived to depend on the colour used on the lines around the image.
"For example, a red line gives the fuel pump a different perceived colour.
"This can lead our brain to perceive some fascinating colour changes, which are not there."
