I remember the first time this did the rounds. Someone found a way to trick your eyes into seeing the other color. They flipped it upside down to sort of detach it from what you already associated and began by zooming way in on the part what looked most blue or white (the idea being if you normally see one you watched them zoom out from the one that looks most like the other). It was like magic. It was the only time I was ever able to see it as white and gold. It's the sort of thing I always understood on paper (and even I can see the black part is sort of a very dark brownish goldenrod sort of) but seeing it was amazing.
It sort of reminds me of Outer Wilds, which I know is a weird reference. There's a part of the game where you're going over the scientists of old's research and they find things going into black holes come out slightly before they go in. But they insist they want to actually see it with their eyes so they don't believe it's just a rounding error. The machine they have to demonstrate this is still working and sure enough you can interact with it too and see your probe come out before it goes in.
