Quite a few years ago Louis Vuitton use to have these cool optical displays where they would place two patterns onto another which would create this wild illusion when you would walk past it. I remember they had a checker board wallpaper and a reversed check board glass which created this almost 3d illusion. 

Is there a name for this kind of optical illusion?

You might find it hard to believe, but the "black" and "white" faces in this optical illusion are actually the same color. To verify this, I used the native color picker tool found in the Markup Tools of the Photos app on iOS (the Markup section appears when you edit an image), which allows for precise color identification. Astonishingly, both faces consistently displayed the same hex code: #7E7C80.

The trick employed in the puzzle becomes more effective when the words are written inside a triangle. 

Somehow the shape assists in creating a mental blind spot so your brain doesn't notice the repeated word.
