Thus: if you no longer see green because of increased magnification, you will no longer see red as compensation color.




The point is that I continue to see green but not red when I lower exit pupils. Of course, I'm perfectly aware that I see "red" mainly because it's "redder", but then you're starting to split semantics hairs, because the low red sensitivity of vision means that it's really redder than the slightly red the eye registers...if the brain is partly compensating for what the eye fails to register, are you seeing or imagining?

You're imagining things when the same mechanisms for "correcting" are fooled into revealing something that isn't there, but that's not what's happening here.
