My wife are having a battle over this, so I really hope someone can find some science that proves what I am seeing as being superior, haha. I figure my eyes are more advanced so those seeing blue have more focus and able to see more colors of the color spectrum vs. those who see white (who at some point, all the color's blend to white).

Bunch of science versions are out already.

 

Apparently this effect is also why Percival Lowell thought he saw canals on Mars.

"Without you having to worry about it, your brain figures out what color light is bouncing off the thing your eyes are looking at, and essentially subtracts that color from the “real” color of the object. “Our visual system is supposed to throw away information about the illuminant and extract information about the actual reflectance,” says Jay Neitz, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington. “But I’ve studied individual differences in color vision for 30 years, and this is one of the biggest individual differences I’ve ever seen.” (Neitz sees white-and-gold.)

 

This part really explains it well for me.

A friend, my kids and I were all arguing over this last night. 3 of us saw royal blue and black. the other two saw white and gold. I was one that saw blue and black. Now when I first opened this thread, I saw a lighter shade of blue and gold. Now when I just looked again, it went back to blue and black.
