As with many so-called illusions, this effect really demonstrates the success rather than the failure of the visual system. The visual system is not very good at being a physical light meter, but that is not its purpose. The important task is to break the image information down into meaningful components, and thereby perceive the nature of the objects in view.[3]

it's because the shadow darkens the white square's color enough to be exactly the same color as the dark square.

but then why does it look like a different colour to square A???

honestly they do seem like the same color to me
i can even match them to other squares that arent marked

I saw this  NatGeo show called Brain Games (it's on Netflix) that explained this wizardry pretty well in their first episode.

if you cross ur eyes a bit or squint and don't focus on any particular square then the A and B squares both look the same

if you squint and then remove your eyeballs all the squares look the same
cool optical illusion
