      this color picker that is used in MS Office? Would you say it is a cube or a hexagon?

      A flattened hypercube? :) (I'd just call it a hexagon.)

        It is not a cube (it is not three dimensional) .. it is more like a hexagonal beehive

          It's a hex grid.

                No trick. Do you see the cube? One of the vertices is the exact center of the hexagon - visualize lines running from the center out to the six corners that are visible.

                    Hexamid? As in a Hexagonal Pyramid? I can't see it as "cube" in shape but I can easily see how it forms like a pyramid of sorts. And if memory serves, such structures are called Octahedrons(not too sure about the spelling) because of the fact that the structure has eight faces, or a Hexagonal Pyramid as such: Clickety[^] (yes in the image it pinnacles to a sharp point, but you can cut it off so that its hexagonal :) )

                        That's a simple optical illusion, I see it as primarily 2 dimensional.

                                It's a hexagon. If you look at a cube from the right perspective the outline is a hexagon too, so it could be a cube.
