Purple and Green/ Natural colors?

After some discussion, I've found that most people experience seeing green/purple colors when they are tripping. It is almost too common for me to see these colors as my main hallucinations.
I have also noticed these colors appear in my vision without the use of psychedelics. I've seen the very same shimmering colors when i'm riding inside a car with sun glasses on, and also in the reflection of some puddles on the curb...
Does anyone know anything about why the brain sees certain colors in reflections of puddles and glass...
Can anyone help elaborate on these colors. I posted something similar a while back but I think this is a different question.

I get really weird visuals when I'm in bed trying to get to sleep, and some of them are green and purple, and this is completely sober mind you. Happens to me every night.
Pretty sure green and purple are as natural as any other colour, just a part of the whole spectrum.

When I look at a really bright light and close my eyes, the afterimage is usually a bright green, and when it dies down it starts turning purple.
Being on shrooms makes me see these colors a LOT. I see purple and green strands of DNA permeating everything.

some puddles near curbs contain oil, and oil creates that shimmering rainbow effect in the water.
Polarized sunglasses do the same thing to laminated glass.

Hmm, well the water definitely contained oil, but I don't understand why i'm seeing only purple and green when it is supposed to be a "rainbow" effect.

Absolutely. A funny thing I have documented is the fact that I see certain colors on certain substances. These are the colors I see most on mushrooms, while these are seen by my eyes most on LSD.

The sky is blue because it is the color our eyes see the easiest or something like that...
Green and purple are close to blue, perhaps this has something to do with it.

i had just the same thing happen to me last night. i was having trouble sleeping, and usually if i stare at a point on my ceiling i usually will drift off to sleep. last night, doing this, i started getting those visuals. it was almost like staring into the sun, but not as intense and it was mostly green and blue

I remember this freaking me out as a kid. except they were red and blue, and as brain washed as i was.... for some reason the red freaked me out and gave me the feeling it was the entity of the devil, and the blue was god. i was a fucked up child i think. but did anyone else see those things in the dark as a child? (now too)

I seem to keep digging up childhood memories simply by reading the things people post here. Interesting. I believe psychadelic-type experiences happen long before we ever intentionally ingest entheogens. Perhaps it's a natural way of preparing our minds for the natural and evolutionary use of entheogens.
The memory is of when I was 8-10 years old, there's no way for me to remember exactly... but I would lay out on this little exposed patio that had a built-in basketball goal on it, and I would stare at the afternoon sky and I would see faces flying down at me... scary faces. I didn't really attribute anything to it, I just kind of accepted it and actually did it several times after that, heh.
I also remember in fucking preschool(I attended a Catholic one), during naptime I would stare at the ceiling and cross my eyes at just the right angle... you know the types of ceilings that schools and a lot of other institutions have - it's a rectangular grid of white individual blocks, with lights strewn about in a pattern. When I crossed my eyes just right, the lines would seem to come out at me, and I remember actually reaching up and playing with it... I must've looked crazy, or like I was dreaming.

well my friend sees purple and green to. i on the other hand see different stuff depending on who im with cause i have crystal energy i usually see peoples energy. so i see all sorts of colors in different hues and such is strange my one friend induces red and green cause the whole bond of red and green tho his energy is only red i make the green its strange. what i take doesnt dictate the colors i see at all. at festivals i will wear white shirts and hippie people will tell me its blue/indigo and purple with patterns and stuff and they all agree one what it looks like i every random stranger and friends they were shocked a bit when they saw it days after the festival. its defiantly more then just light playing tricks on the eyes. one could say that because generations of colors being associated with feelings or stuff like that and how they work in nature its kinda hardwired as what we perceive those colors as and then read peoples actions and voice and their whole who they are then manifest a color scheme of them or something like that.
Green
Those seeking their own identity, fulfillment of their heart's desire, and/or are searching for a new direction, are drawn to wear this color. postive -security, abundance, nature, heart matters, new space/beginnings,balance negitive- anger, frustration, lethargy, nervousness.
Violet can indicate major change and a need to retreat, postive transformation, spiritual self-realization, truth, creativity, recovery, healing negitive pain, misuse of power, bruising, looking for a way out, grief, unemotional
this is just one of many examples of explainations of colors but green its understandable why people would see purple and green specially on mushrooms. so you can go alot of ways with this i find all the poeple whose energy i feel and see matches what has been said about those colors so shrug

i don't know if this is the question you re asking but i will add my bit.
the sun throws every single colour you are able to see. when it hits an object, the object either reflects, or absorbs certain colours.
like if you see a purple object, it would be absorbing most of the other colours and reflecting the purple.
then things like water and oil split the colour spectrum soo you can see a lot of different colours, and that shit looks cool.
ever look at the pink floyd covor for 'the dark side of the moon'? a perfect example of splitting the white light into all of the colours of the rainbow.
when i trip on acid, i can zoom right in on those patterns on the inside of your eyelids, and it lookes like a tiny little oil slick, mirrord a million time to create the caliedescopic look.
whoa thats a long post for me.
-------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Until the 20th century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see, and hear.

I too am familiar with the irridescent, hot purple/electric green cast to everything. (Though, I've also seen pink/blue.) Many concert light shows recreate this phenomenon with two different colored lights coming from different directions.
I think it's physical, maybe rods and cones tripping out. Stevie Wonder once said that he saw colors on LSD, so I think it's neurological.

well my theory is still up there. it would explain what all those new age people talk about and the old age people. and explain pictures like this 
they have blue green auras and other just blue or others just the red outer shell for a reason. i lived a year with a blue green like the second from the left and top row guy. and people would describe it like that so i showed them that picture and they would always point out that same guy due to exactly color of green and how theres also the area above the head thats blue in that same exactly color it was odd.
tho as i said at a festival its not like that all i should collect drawings of it from random people and then get the best drawer to make a cool little painting. im far beyond being skeptical about this and no im not implanting it in them or atlease verbally or hints, unless that whole thing about them reading people and then generating a color scheme based on stuff in the back of the mind inducing those colors but that is theory there could be a number of reasons for this color stuff. its defiantly a phenomena that is very real and happening as to the true reason of why its visible is a question to me. but i can say colors correspond to the vibes. another example of that color talk would be chakras

Woah, its not just me!? My very first hallucination, in the first minute of my first trip was vivid green and purple patterns dancing on the carpet. Those colors were the most memorable and vivid of the whole trip.
Ever since then, I can still see that distinct, neon-like purple (oddly, never the green) every now and then at random moments ever so faintly. It tends to show up more often when I smoke pot sometimes, and very often in the car at night. If I glance around the tail lights of the car in front of me its like faint purple tracers are coming off of it. I always wondered if there was something about those particular colors and psychedelics...

after images and images with extra persistence (complementary colors abound like purple and green) the subsequent colors mix and shimmer together, combine and become more intense oor saturated. and persisting images resonate together with interference patterns as well making huge coronas appear around lights at night.
this is in the visual cortex and is consistent with all other psychedelic effects in which fading of signals is stretched out over a longer period
