Wow, totally different then.
One thing that might be at play is that your eyes "auto-correct" colors. So if you were to shine lights at a blank white surface, with no context....as in you only see the reflected color, what your eye told you was "white" will be something else entirely when the context is removed.
This is one reason a lot of people can also have a greenish beam, and think its white, and so forth...without a baseline, you DO see it as white. A lot of optical illusions take advantage of this.
