No apologies necessary, Croix, but thank you anyway.
Yeah, (I have been forgetting) my tele does have those features. I have found it difficult to make the adjustments I want, which would make it easier for me to see better.
The discolourations I see are made in my brain, are phosphenes the brain makes, randomly when the brain isn't receiving enough info from the eyes to recreate an accurate picture of the world for us anymore. The colours are not static & will be various hues, too. It's like having a liquid layer of constantly shifting colours, dimness & brightness, too, between me & the world.
One example: sometimes, when the layer seems red-orange, I can look at my carpet, which is a dark blue, & see it as brown. That may settle down, then layer turn to yellow & the carpet will look dark green & my skin will look jaundiced.
There is nothing I can do, except to be in the dark & allow time enough for everything to settle down. But as soon as light enters my brain, even through closed eyelids, the mess starts up again.
Sometimes, after looking at brightly lit screens, being outside, being in my kitchen with the fluro lights on, I can go into the dark & there are so many phosphenes lit up it's like whiteout conditions. I think, surely I ought to be able to see my hand or things around me just as if the lights are on, but no, it's just white, though not including the glare from normal light.
Sometimes, when I'm going off to sleep, I'll have a few minutes when there is a swimming pool blue colour & then some purple droplets falling through on the left side of my view. That's rather nice.
But it's rather like my tinnitus, always there. Sometimes I wish to have proper darkness & silence again, but it's been so long, it might freak me out!
& Croix, I know you meant to write 'Inebriated Kiwis' - Pesky Penguins are only inebriated if the kiwis have left anything undrunk - which simply doesn't happen. But you are right, those long curved beaks of theirs are not to be trifled with.
