Red is complimentary to cyan.

If the cyan were switched with yellow, the can would appear blue.

Also, it's not our brains creating the red, it's our eyes. They get exhausted of seeing the cyan and replace it with red.

It's curious that the thumbnail actually has red values for those pixels, making me think they're cheating a bit with jpeg compression effects.
