For those who saw it as white/gold first and then switched to blue/black, it could be because knowing what colour it actually is your brain has more context for the image and you see the correct colours.. maybe those that can switch back and forth have a lot of experience with optical illusions and such and have more practice changing perceptions?

The other illusion from one of the links shows how colour perception changes based on context; the coloured circle and the square they are on are identical colours.



EDIT: If I look at the above in just the right way I can see both circles the same colour, but as soon as I shift my eyes or even my attention they look different again. EDIT: Lol I wonder if I'm putting one circle in one of my blind spots so my brain is filling in the colours so I see them the same.
