Is it arranged in such a way that gives the illusion of red, or do we mentally fill in the blanks because we already know what colour a coke can is supposed to be?

it's the pixels.

Yes.

So yes is answering the first question or the second question?

Yes.

But more seriously, I don't know. At first, I thought it was the first one, if only because of the choice of magenta as a "counter color." But then, when I partially cover the can, I no longer perceive the uncovered part as red. So, I don't know.
