Purkinge effect in psychology

 The Purkinje effect is a biopsychological phenomenon characterized by a change in colour perception from daylight to dim lighted settings. In low light conditions, humans perceive more blues and greens than other colors.

The effect is also called the Purkinje Shift and Dark Adaptation.
