I can sort of change it. Probably just my TN monitor though.

This was always the real trick. If you have a laptop you can probably tilt your screen to make it change between the two. What angle you use your screen at affects your perception.
ARE YOU FR? WHO REMEMBERES THIS? IS THIS A SARCASTIC POST??? SAY SIKE OP
The dress is a bistable picture, similar to the Spinning Dancer, which you can consciously reverse the direction of spin with some practice.
To see the dress as blue-black, I first look at the black dress in the bottom-left corner, then shift gaze to the main dress when colour is established.
To see the dress as white-gold, I first look at the sunny regions on the right, then move gaze across, when the main dress goes to white-gold.

It may help to cover or mask the opposite region, when focusing on one side.

For detail, 10 years ago I saw this as white-gold and did not change from that perception. Did not know what all the fuss was about this dress. Today, I saw it as white-gold initially, but 10 minutes later, after two friends saw it as blue-black, I also saw it as blue-black and could not shake it.

Thants so cool i finally got to see both color version and how my brain blends between them. For anyone wondering how, I am in a dark room with the phone (darkmode lemmy) and it was looking white gold to me. But when I squish my eyes to darken the incoming screen light and blocking of the right light background with my thumb I could make it fade into blue with black stripes.
This is flicking between white and gold and black and blue each time I scroll past it.
I see it obviously blue black, but I have some specific accessibility related colour filters on my screen that might influence this.

I still see both colors alternatingly.
