Since the picture is presented as a 3-D slice of reality, that's how we see it. The green cylinder is not actually casting a shadow across the board. We knows this, but we can't help ourselves from seeing it that way. We have certain instructions built in that help us determine what color things are in different lighting. Since we perceive the picture as a scene with different lighting patterns we trick ourselves into seeing different colors.
