For 5 seconds everything looked GREEN; When I woke up from a nap yesterday afternoon it was cloudy dark outside and when I opened my eyes everything in the room was colored Chartreuse green. Weird. So after researching this is the best explanation I came up with. Rod cells are most sensitive to light of wavelengths near 498 nm; such light appears blue-green. When light levels are low enough for both rods and cone cells to be active (mesopic vision) the enhanced rod activity induces a bluish visual tint. The blue tint combined with a traumatic cataract (yellow) I have after a car airbag exploded into my face in 2006. This blue and yellow combination caused me to see Chartreuse. It was really weird !!
