I don't know this from personal experience, but in that DMT Spirit Molecule book Rick Strassman suggests someone may be overly focused on the colors, and that could prevent going to the other side. YMMV!
It's interesting that you mention that. I guess we all operate a little differently. For me - it's often a sense of focusing on a single point of the "colors" and that's my way in. Looking at all can be distracting.
There was once a story:
"There was nothing but white. White as far af the eye(I) could see. There was no dimension to the white - the white appearing up-close was no different than the white that was far away. The only thing that could change was... nothing. However, after much time of white, it noticed a singular dark blue point far off in the sea of white. It became curious, because it had only known dimensionless white.
Curious about the small blue point, it wondered what that little dot was doing there. So, it decided to experience a change in resolution. The white around the blue did not change, but the dot grew in size. It became a small circle and then a large circle, and then... it became a sphere. Still curious, it increased the resolution. Well, this was weird - the dot, that had become a circle and then sphere seemed to be an anomaly. The sphere was composed of smaller dots. So, it increases resolution again. These dot changed in resolution - resulting in another anomaly. More dots within dots - but then.... one seemed different. It was an anomaly within the anomaly.
It decided to investigate. Within the expanded resolution of this anomaly, there was something different. The dots would appear, momentarily, only to disappear. Confused, it decided to enter the anomaly. As it did, it realized that this was no ordinary dot. Within each "dot" that appeared, were completely different anomalies.
It spent much time exploring these anomalies, because they were interesting. And then... it found one... that was different from all the others. It entered.
There was only black. Black as far as the eye(I) could see. So, it waited. And waited. And waited. But, there were no dots. No anomaly. It began to forget about the other anomalies, and only focus on getting out of that one. After an unknown amount of time... after it'd forgotten everything it had seen/been, a small white dot appeared... then it got larger and larger and...."
I guess we'll never know what happened next. Did it find another anomaly? Did it become an anomaly? Is it THE anomaly?
Hard to say. I'd have to ask whatever it was... but, it probably wouldn't tell me.
I mean... would you tell anyone about that? Anomalies within anomalies? Hmm. I'd have to check the source and see how reputable it is.
Take care!

Sometimes it's good for a change. Other times it isn't.
