Color distortion after closing eyes.

Color distortion after closing eyes.

Sir or Madame,

Occasionally, I will close my eyes while sitting in a well lit room for about five minutes.  
Upon opening my eyes, all color is distorted to a light shade of blue.  It does not occur when I first wake up and does not occur if the room is not very well lit.  The colors are only distorted when in room filled with light that has a white, brighter color to it.   This does not cause any discomfort whatsoever.  In fact, I quite enjoy this phenomenon.  

What could be causing this color distortion?   Is it a symptom of something worse to come?

You should of course start with an eye exam by an ophthalmologist. Often this is just due to color fatigue in the retinal receptors.
