I always see these bright colours of donuts, and whenever I close my eyes, I get this constantly swirling wave of colours. Its fun to look at. At night time, I also notice that I can see shadows swirling around like they do when I close my eyes, and everything looks almost like pixels. I can see little particles moving and flowing around the place in my vision, especially when looking at white ceilings. I watch them ebb and flow at night, though often the dark swirling effects scare me because they often start to look like things like faces and stuff so I'll often concentrate on something else or close my eyes real tight.

3: 42 well I might have some info for this theory. When I was kid, ever since I got the paper 3D glasses from a Spy Kids 3 box I would wear them almost all the time until I grew out of it. yeah later after resting my eyes in a car ride to the mall with my dad while in high school I noticed that after I opened my eyes my vision went green. both eyes were not seeing in the same shade of green either with my right being a green with a tint of blue kinda similar to the classic green from Expo the whiteboard maker brand will my left eye was seeing a green with a yellow tint.

You fergot the coolest phosphenes that, when you carefully focus your eyes, pulse behind your lids in rhythm between darkness and splatters of soft light. Sometimes light to dark, sometimes dark to light, but always in rhythm, and never quite the same. These are the phosphenes you can manipulate into images if you learn to relax those eyes. Careful though, whatever you think of when the phosphenes dance you're certain to find starring back at you from the darkness.

The whole thing of Phosphenes have always fascinated me, even since I was a kid, as I’ve always suffered from Migraines, and whilst I do get them if I touch my eyelids (rubbing, tightly closing the lids etc) they also appear for some people who have migraines, (auras or spots) which makes me think it’s both the eyes but also some sort of pressure in the muscle layers in the brain or something that also affects it, really interesting stuff

That part about colors seeming to invert actually reminds me of a book I was shown in my art class back in elementary school, Hello Red Fox, in which animals appear as the opposite color of what they’re described but supposedly if you look hard enough you’ll see them change
It never worked for me but it did for the characters

I’d like to see TedEd to cover visual snow after this. It’s something I’ve had since childhood and it makes it very hard for me to notice any minute details when observing or drawing. It’s even worse in the dark as everything devolves into a mass of greyish dots that keep farting about

Newton's Mother: You'll break your neck (Apple) You'll poke your eye out! (Bodkin) I have often wondered what our world would look like today if young Issac had achieved either. Maybe there's another timeline where he did.

I get negative and positive after images from everything I see. I don't need to manipulate my eyes or stare or anything, they're just always three and they always have been. It's very distracting sometimes.

Sun gazing is when you look at the sun, during the sunrise and sunset. This is safer because the sun isn't at full strength.
I do it occasionally, and I don't have any permanent damage to my eyes.

They are called phosphenes and are likely due to mechanical stimulation of cells in the retina.
There, I saved you 5 minutes of dreadful low-density pseudo-informative drivel.

Once upon a time after spending a couple hours in a red lit dark room only to come outside and notice everything looks blue. Really freaked me out when it happened.

After images used to really bother me when I was a kid. I'd get so frustrated about it because they affected my sight. I wouldn't be able to see past them.

Gah. your color wheel isn't half bad for what your trying to convey. but it still isn't too accurate. of course the perception of colors is subjective. lewl

What about those green blobs you see after staring at a bright light and then looking at something darker, such as coming inside from a sunny day
