Why do we see two different colors?

It’s about the biology of the receptors in the back of your eye, and then the neural pathways that make sense of them. Brainard says the research points to the differences in cone cells — which detect color — as the main reason two eyes in the same body will each see slightly different colors.

Why does my right eye see things darker?

It may be a symptom of an eye disease (e.g., AMD, cataracts, or glaucoma), or it could be due to issues with the optic nerve or retina. Your eyes need both the optic nerve and retina to see.
