Ah. Much is explained.

I had a coworker once who could see into the UV range, and saw other colors rather differently from most people. He had to abandon his intended career in computer engineering after his first visit to a fab plant where he was exposed to the kinds of UV lamps they use for photoetching the silicon. The lighting was very painful.

I see unusually well in the dark (enough to startle people who see me reading with insufficient lighting), but also have no problem with sunlight. But a few years back I discovered that I don't have as much contrast perception in medium light situations as other people. We were all looking at some boats crossing a lake, and others could see where the wake was, whereas I couldn't. I think this has a negative impact on my enjoyment of my eink screen, unfortunately. A higher-contrast screen is one of the few enhancements that could push me into an early device upgrade.
