Yesterday, I think I read people speculating about what was an wasn't in the illusion, and also about the colour changes. So I decided to take matters in my own hands.

EDIT : My image doesn't work. I'm solving it.
EDIT2 : Much better now.
The first square is taken from other strips (833 for Xykon, 855 for the OOTS) (or, for the walls and floor, from the panel of 886). The second is from the last panel of 885. The rest are from 886, panel by panel, or blank when I could get the colour. By the way, I also tried to get Elan's vest, and it was consistently the same colour as Roy's tabard/armour.
Obviously, other colours I didn't pick could also have changed. I don't know.
The colours change abruptly for several panels, not by gradient. The most obvious case is the green hilt. They change individually, not at the same time. Notice Xykon's cape and robe, which do not change in the same panel: you can see it clearly on the strip itself. This helps make the change more gradual, even though individual colours themselves change abruptly. Obviously, the more the illusion goes on, the more purple the picture gets.
Not all colours change with the same frequency. Some change four times (hilt, boots), some two (cape, robe). However, most know about three changes. Some changes are hard to see, especially the wall and floors (in 4 and 15?). It is not clear whether colour changes reflect events in the illusion -- or at least, not much. Most colours associated with the same caracter change at different times (Xykon's robe and cape change twice, at one panel's interval, and his crown changes 4 times). Obviously, my sample is flawed, here.
Now, the important story conclusion... The colours in the last panel of 885 are the same as the normal colours. Some colours (Roy's shirt) change starting in the first panel of 886. Since Xykon is not there, this would mean the illusion starts in the first panel of 885 -- thus, Roy's rant would be real.
