If you want a *really* dramatic example, the next time you're laying out in the sun, lie on your side with your face to the sun. Close your upper (sunlit) eye and open your lower (shaded) eye. By the time you're toasty enough to roll over, the resulting chromatic adaptation will be a *lot* more than the 800K difference the author of the article describes.
Of course, you can do the same thing by staring at a solid color with just one eye, and many collections of optical illusions will feature a similar example. But the closed / shaded eye thing was something I discovered as a young child, and it remains by far the most dramatic example I've ever come across.
On a final note, I suspect that the blog author has the beginnings of a cataract in the one eye. My parents both had cataract surgery not long ago, and they described the before-and-after experience as being a more noticeable version of what the author describes.
Cheers,
