I was never able to do it with this one before, either. What I'm doing now is concentrating hard on the two tiles of interest, until the rest of the picture fades into the background. The two tiles then seem to be floating on a separate top layer, and appear to be the same shade.

The point of the illusion is that they seem different in context. Ignoring context to make them appear similar isn't a proper resolution.
