> What about a person’s two eyes each perceiving color differently? I’m not color-blind, but colors are just a little different between my eyes. Looking at a “neon pink” pad of Post-Its right now, it’s a raging bright pink through my right eye and a less wild and just slighty more purple rather than pink through my left eye.

I too see colors differently depending on which eye I am using. For me, this happens mostly in the greens. One eye will see the color as containing more blue.
