Eyes - How we see our lights « on: August 11, 2015, 07:39:06 PM » Author: TheUniversalDave1
Today during English class, I noticed something very interesting that my eyes were doing. The teacher gave us hot pink pieces of paper to read. When I was finished reading, I looked back up, and everything looked green! As if the lights were old school /CW instead of /841. It slowly turned back to normal after about 3 minutes. Hear that LPS has a similar effect, but much more extreme. You apparently see like a dog up to 12 hours after using a LPS for over an hour. I just thought I should share this with you all.

That kind of reminds me of how everything looks purple to me for a few minutes after staring at black lights.

@UniversalDave : When I was about 10, my sisters and I had a Little Tikes green overpass for small play cars. The plastic was sort of translucent but not really. Sometimes, we would lie on our backs in the living room and put the overpass on our face, our head in the part where the cars drive underneath. We would stay like that for about 30-60 seconds and then remove it. Everything had a pink hue for about 30 seconds. We thought is was cool !

On another variant to this, I use f/lux on my computers. At night, when it has been running since sunset, it looks normal. If for whatever reason I would disable it (to work in Photoshop, for example) I see that the screen is very blue.

I once went to a boys scouts event in a school where the gymnasium was lit in HPS. After a couple of minutes, everything looked more or less normal (you got used to it anyways). When stepping in the locker room lit by cool white fluorescent, they all appeared very blue, almost daylight in colour. When returning to the gym, it was very orange.

In my high school, the gym was lit with clear MH quartz lamps. They had a tendency to be on the blue side. When looking at the entrance, lit by halo phosphate cool white lamps, they appeared to be slightly pink in colour.

Yep. I think that's called your white balance.
