Idk if it's against the rules to comment without source or citation but I do know that when we see and perceive objects in our peripheral vision, our brain will sometimes assume it is one thing and "see" whatever they're perceiving it as (in their periphery mind you), and therefore see it as the color we remember it to be. It doesn't help that there's minimal color perception in peripheral vision, mostly black & white, this furthers the color assumptions. I sometimes mistake things out the corner of my eye like curtains or furniture or decor for something they're not and I will assume what it is based on what I see in my periphery- this effects the colors I see. The shape of a curtain and a tall dresser are similar to my eye in my peripheral vision, based on these assumptions, if I'm paying it enough attention, I might "see" a colorful curtain, or a brown wooden dresser in my periphery, when what I'm seeing is in fact neither of those things.
