Colour Questions

Does it affect the way you see colours when through a certain eye?

As our eyes aren't exactly perfect, since nature rarely does anything identically our eyes have slightly more or less red, green or blue cones in either one of our eyes. This leads to our eyes seeing more of one colour than the other eye since it's more sensitive to that colour, an eye that sees red better has more red cones in it for example. The reason we don't see this imperfections when we're seeing through both eyes is because our brain is able to sort the good and cancel the bad out so that we can see without them, It's only when we look through one eye that we see these differences.
