I have to really do some concentrating to get the one on the left to look darker.

Too late to edit my post, but in fact, the boxes on the right should be darker, at least if you see how I do.

I made my own White's illusion. It's the same as in the article, only squeezed down. Squeezing the boxes down exaggerates the effect (see if they still look the same to you), and stretching them bigger will decrease the effect of the illusion.
