If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink.
However if you stare at the black " +" in the center, the moving dot turns to green.
Now, concentrate on the black " + " in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating.
It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. FREAKY.

Yes, it is amazing how our brain works, but can you explain how our brains work when this happens?
I believe it is a trick of peripheral vision. You are forcing the pink dots into the periphery by staring at the +. At that point... your brain is processing the information differently. That's all I got.
