The weirdest vision thing that happened to me was when I had cataract surgery, with the implanted lens correcting my extreme myopia. The doc waited three weeks before doing the second eye. It was really difficult doing anything with one very near-sighted eye and one good eye. I tried using my computer by holding the bad eye shut, but that got really tiring. I tried taking one lens out of my glasses, but that just gave me one images of two different sizes, since my old glasses are so strong they shrink everything.
Finally I tried using an eye patch over the bad eye, and after about ten minutes I started seeing weird stuff in that eye, mechanical shapes that moved and twisted and changed. I think the optical circuitry knew it was open, and was trying to interpret nothing. I wish I could have videoed it.
I gave up and listened to music. Seeing clearly was worth it, of course. And for the first time I have glasses that aren’t half an inch thick.

I think about this sometimes- I clearly remember colour in those TV shows, although I know it wasn’t there.
My favourite movie is the Wizard of Oz, because it’s awesome, for one thing! But, I also just really get a kick out of watching the sudden switch to colour after the intro part, and imagining the audiences of the time just blown away by it.

I don’t actually SEE any red in that version, but my brain really really wants to. It’s like a weird argument between my perceptions.

Film about that experiment, or one very like it:
Yeah color is more complex than that. Specially comparing real objects to digital objects. That is why many tools like the Nix sensor (https://nixsensor.com/?ref=3) exist. Sometimes objects just surprise you when it comes to its color composition.
