If you make the outer colour yellow using the custom colour option, and the inner circle red, do you see a an aurora-green halo? Or if you make the outer circle yellow and the inner circle green, do you see a red halo?

You mean this, right? https://dynomight.net/img/colors/generate.html?inside=ff0000...

The background turns green (???) eventually, kind of like as if ink started to spread across it.

Or you meant full yellow (255r, 255g, 0b) and full red (255r, 0g, 0b)?

I used the controls this time and made the background full yellow (255r, 255g, 0b) and the inner circle full green (0r, 255g, 0b). Also adjusted the countdown speed, I realized I wasn't patient enough to wait out the 60s before ever (but that also it didn't need to be so long).

During countdown the entire image turned green. Whenever my eyes would move a bit, I'd see either a 3D shadow depth effect or a yellow aura around the circle. When the circle started getting smaller I just saw the yellow aura. Whenever I'd drastically move my eyes, the entire background would revert to yellow, but would quickly go back to seeing green.

I don't really see them being unusually saturated though, but maybe I just don't have a good grasp on what to expect. Maxed out R/G/B or C/M/Y all strike me as super saturated from the get-go.


Do you have a setting on that shifts the screen colors towards red in the evening to avoid blue light?

For the first question, I see a green halo.

For the second question, I see something in between what you and blincoln see. The halo I see is definitely orange, not red. During countdown, the outside of the circle became greenish-yellow, but I could distinguish between the circle and outside the circle.
