On the topic of messing around in Paint, there’s something really cool you can do assuming you have a display with normal pixels.
Make a new paint document and color the left half perfectly red and the right half perfectly blue (#FF0000 and #0000FF). Make sure the colors are touching in the middle. If you look really close at the place the colors touch, there will be a tiny little black gap. If you do the opposite, with red on the right and blue on the left, the gap will not appear.
This is, of course, because of the physical layout of the pixels with R on the left and B on the right. By putting red on the left and blue on the right, we make the biggest possible subpixel dark zone.
I have no idea if this is related, or why it happens, but I’ve noticed if you draw red and blue lines on a black background, it will create a 3D-like depth. I can’t remember which is which but one of the two colors looks like it’s further away than the other.
