When I look at the Northern Lights with the naked eye, I see grey or white with some tints of green. Now when looking at photos of the northern lights I see brilliant greens and purples that seem to the the prevailing colors. I mentioned this to a co worker who said that the picture on the screen of a web site of northern lights was what he saw when he looked at the northern lights. My question is why don't I see those colors when I look at them, do I have some sort of color blindness? As far as I know I don't have any form of color blindness.What do you think. And by the way, what do you see when you look at them. And FYI, I live in northern Minnesota, so the lights here are bright and often!
