I think it’s a bit of both. The light blue color used is so called “complement color”, meaning it’s exactly the opposite on the color wheel to the Coca Cola red.
Black and white pattern suggests to our brain to play with contrast.
And of course we all know Coca Cola from all the marketing.
Btw, After staring at it for a while I can kinda switch between red and white at will. Anyone else?
Interesting :) And yes, for me it also became easy to switch once I was aware of the truth of what I was looking at.
If you look directly at the can you can see it as white, but if you look elsewhere and the can is only in your peripheral vision it seems to always be interpreted as red.

At the size it is on my phone screen it looks very red. Zooming in makes it look like the red switches to white.
